I booked a hostel for Paris at the end of October... That's kinda how my travel seems to be going lately. See upcoming event in far-away place, think "Huh I wonder how much it would be to go?", discover it is well within my means, and then just do it.
I had originally wanted to go to Art Basel in Miami, because I figured living on the East coast of the USA, traveling to another East coast city would be less expensive than Paris or Switzerland... I got the email that Art Basel Paris tickets are now on sale, and I was like "I wonder...", and it ended up being only like $100 more for a 5 day trip to Paris than a similar trip to Miami...
Also I hiked 11 miles in 3 hours last Friday and my legs weren't even sore, and I've lost another 5 pounds, so... next year is going to be bonkers for hiking I can already tell. I'm trying to get into backpacking (backpack camping), and also with the realization that international travel isn't that expensive... I might be doing some worldly hikes, which would be an amazing way to see the world.
