TRAVEL BUCKET LIST

What paths untraveled would you like to explore during your days on this Earth? There are so many adventures that I dream of going on. From going on a trek through the African savanna to hiking through Europe to visit castles, I have wanderlust to do some globetrotting. This month I've shared on Instagram and Twitter bucket list destinations that would be a dream vacay for me and will be continuing to post travel themed social media posts throughout the remainder of the year.

These vacations aren't about luxury and pampering, but rather creating experiences that provide life-long memories and let me step away from the daily stresses of life to casually experience exotic destinations. That could be as simple as wandering around a historic farmer's market in Croatia to taking a motorcycle ride through the palm groves of Morocco to riding a Zebra in Nevada. What is on your travel bucket list?

Throughout the remainder of the year this travel geek will be sharing tips on transforming vacation bucket lists from dreams to realities. Follow @Geekdad248 on Instagram and Twitter for these travel bucket list tips. I'm geeked to be sharing them with you!

TRAVELING DAD 2017 RETROSPECTIVE

As 2018 begins, I wanted to take a look back at my first year contributing feature articles for the Traveling Dad website.  Branching out from ageekdaddy.com, I started collaborating with other dads sharing parent focused travel tips and family vacation experiences on travelingdad.com last year.  Looking at 2017 in retrospective, a lot of my posts for #TDAD revolve around family-friendly destinations in Michigan but also covered spots like the War World I Museum in Kansas City, the High Line in New York City, the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Universal Orlando Resort and Santa Claus' house in Alaska.  I also wrote some posts on informational topics like having fun bird watching with kids and tips for participating in cosplay events.

Here are some of my favorite Traveling Dad contributions from 2017:

DETROIT HOLIDAY STAYCATION

Read about my family's experience staying at the historic Double Tree Suites Fort Shelby Hotel and going to see the Detroit Thanksgiving Day Parade as a holiday staycation.

EXPLORE MICHIGAN'S WILD SIDE AT THE EDDY DISCOVERY CENTER

Visit the nature center at one of my family's favorite Michigan state parks in this Traveling Dad post.

A HIKE ALONG THE TEMBO TRAIL

Join my family for a trek at the Toledo Zoo as we encounter close up views of elephants, hippos and rhinos.

MICHIGAN SEA LIFE AQUARIUM

Did you know that sharks live in Michigan?  You'll find them at the Michigan Sea Life Aquarium.

Read these and other travel related pieces by myself and others at travelingdad.com regarding categories such as Disney theme park & cruise info, domestic destinations, international trips, credit card points and rewards plus dad travel 101 tips.  Additionally, I'll be posting more travel themed posts on ageekdaddy.com as well tagging mentions to them on social media using the #TDAD hashtag to go along with my Traveling Dad contributions.  Now a year is under my belt, I have a better feel for writing content for travelingdad.com and am excited about getting into a Traveling Dad groove for 2018.  Stay tuned for what hopefully will be a year filled with a lot of amazing family travel experiences that this Traveling Dad is looking forward to sharing with you.
