1000 Places to See Before You Die (Patricia Schultz)

Many of my experiences that I truely treasure are not on this list but it is an interesting way to gauge travel experiences against a static list! My biggest complaint is that the list oftentimes sums up cities into one item on the list when, in my opinion, there is SO MUCH to do in each city that one could spend weeks just in one place. Here is where you can see all 1000 places listed out as they are in the book: http://listology.com/openstacks/list/places-ive-been-patricia-schultzs-1000-places-see-you-die
