• I have SO wanted to travel my whole life, and I mean internationally. It came from my mother, whom was Argentine. Because I can't afford to travel just yet, and my husband has next to no interest in travelling, I have succumbed to reading armchair travel books, listening to World Music and watching foreign films. I am heavy into food, so I even research food of that region and try and create that culture!
  Anyway, I would love to travel to: Australia, New Zealand, England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Hong Kong, Uruguay...
• To lose weight.

  • ~A trip back to Hawaii...such beauty, my heart longs to return

  • ~A trek 'down-under'...Australia (as well as New Zealand) have always fascinated me, and the pictures I've seen so far make for picture perfect scenery
• I also love to do crafty things to help relax...so perhaps I would wish for more time and supplies to try new projects
• A dream home on the beach
• A Jaguar to tool around town
• Time & $$ to take up flute lessons again
• I love to cook/bake, so perhaps some lessons with a professional chef/baker

• I would love to be an astronaut and watch our beautiful planet from space.
• And I would really like to make that African safari. I lived in South Africa for 7 years as a child and this great continent still has a hold of my heart!

• To go to a third world country and give needy people food, clothing and fun stuff
• To be stranded on a deserted island with Keanu Reeves, Matt LeBlanc, Brendan Fraser, Clay Aiken and Mario Lopez; )

• To get a decent paying job in England in the country.....the more remote the more better...

• There are lots of things I'd wish for- Peace around the world and end to poverty etc
• On a personal level- good health for myself, my friends and my family
  To be happy and content... and endless supply of books to read (lol) etc
• But this isn't my wish. Sometimes I've read a book and really wanted to be part of it or wished I'd known the characters. So I'd like a machine that would allow me to visit inside some of my favourite books. If this machine also allowed me to go back in time so I could meet authors like Will Shakespeare, The Bronte's and Charles Dickens that would be cool too.
• Don't ask for much do I? lol

• World peace, poverty completely eradicated, and the end to all environmental/natural disasters etc.

• I would love to travel to other countries, especially Greece, Italy, Ireland or Egypt.
• I want more active South African bookcrossers.

• peace of mind. I get stressed really easy and have problems with calming down. My husband worries for me, he thinks I'll get sick if I don't learn how to relax.

• My boyfriend and myself would like to see Iron Maiden but they won't come to Vancouver anymore because there are not enough heavy metal fans here. The closest places are eastern Canada or California. There is NO WAY we can afford to go there or even to pay for the tickets!
• Second wish is an electric guitar for my boyfriend. He is an excellent guitarist but he doesn't have an electric guitar and he likes metal so it's not really the same on an acoustic! < This is also MY wish because I get a lot of enjoyment out of listening to him play.

• instead of travelling all over the world which is a life-long wish, for the time being i'll limit it to travel to Spain.. for my very own reasons :p

• I'd like to travel to Asia, anywhere. Everywhere!
• I wish I were happy. Which means having friends, love, children...
• Hmmm... that's it actually...

• This is really hard to admit but I'm inspired by some of the others. I wish for contentment and the ability to just be. I have a wonderful, loving husband, two gorgeous, intelligent children, nice house, family, friends etc. and still I can get so worked up about life. I have periods of contentment and then other times I sit and think and there's this nagging in my mind and I can't relax and I don't know why I'm not happy.
  Of course it's a bit more complex than that but that's my wish, to just be.

• I'd like my Mother to take an interest in my wedding plans, as she did with my sisters, instead of pushing me off. I'd like her to go dress shopping with me.

• It would be nice to find self-worth within and stop jumping up and down at my age, trying to get positive attention and praise from my parents. I am in my thirties. I would further prefer not to be compared to my older sister. I would like not to be repeatedly told she is the favorite of all of us, the best one, the smartest one and therefore worthy of all good that can possibly come.
• I'd like to attend a nice college because it has a program I want, not because I want to prove to my parents that I *am* good enough to get in.
