My Travel Story

by: Thomas Larkin Start Date: Feb 11, 2018 - End Date: Jun 10, 2018
I am looking for some help in deciding which country to put on my bucket list next (and, of course, in helping to for the trip itself; remember the name of this website?). I have already been to Greece, Holland, Ireland, and Japan.
You see where this is going, right? The sole criterion for the next destination is that the country name has to begin with the letter K.
According to the U.S. State Department, the choices are: Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kiribati (pronounced Kiri-bass. Who knew?), Korea
(South, obviously), Kosovo, Kuwait, and Kyrgyzstan. A donation of $20 buys one vote for the country the donor would most like me to visit.
$30 for your second choice, $40 for your third choice, and so on.
The country receiving the most votes will be visited in 2017, timing of the visit dependent upon armed conflicts, adverse meteorological events
and/or Pastafarian holidays.Suggestions for activities while in the particular country (locating the best fro-yo shop, racing sharks to the beach, etc.)
will be accepted gratis.
Larger contributions of $100 (or more!) will merit the donor a photograph of any of 3 world renowned national flags (donor's choice) -
Uruguay, Bahamas,or Australia (flags chosen because they were on sale) shown being planted in the 6th highest peak of the winning country
(or somewhere on the beach, in the case of Kiribati). Please don’t expect professionalism with the photography,if I was a professional photographer, I wouldn’t be typing these words. Extra credit for correctly matching the country to the flag!
After minutes of diligent research on Wikitravel, Kayak and Tripadvisor; my proposed budget will cover estimated expenses for the most expensive trip,
which works out to about $3100 (it’s a long way to Kiribati). This budget will cover airfare, lodging and various adventures (I can handle the cost
for street food and farmers’ markets).
