Where in the World?

As I start off on this adventure, I know one thing. I am going to New Zealand. Aside from knowing I will be traveling west, for the most part, I will go where the wind takes me! My goal is to not see how many countries I can visit in a year (can you say burnout??), but to rather travel slowly and immerse myself in the culture of countries. I realize I have to plan a bit and take into consideration the season and hopefully not get caught in a monsoon. I plan on packing clothing for warmer climates in order to keep my backpack manageable, with the thought that if I need a sweatshirt, jacket, etc. I think the rest of the world might have those too J

I realize I might not get to all of these places and things will surely change, but here is a snapshot of where I would like to go.
