Blog Tour: What's Your Winner's Curse

The "Winner's Curse" is an economics term that means you’ve gotten what you wanted – but at too high a price. What would you pay too much for?

When I first saw the question we had to answer for the blog tour, I didn't immediately know what my answer would be. As much as I love The Winner's Curse (see gushing review here) and The Winner's Crime, I couldn't think of anything I specifically would pay too much for. Then two now obvious ideas came to me: bags and travel. But more importantly, travel. I've mentioned before that I didn't travel much as a kid because my mom is afraid of flying. Then I inherited that fear and only recently did I finally get over it. But ever since I did, I've been to California, Texas and Chicago in the last year alone (but I've also been to Florida, London and Paris although it's been a while). I've always had a wanderlust bug but now without my fear of flying hindering it, my need to see the world is bigger than ever. And one thing I have noticed while traveling is that I'm totally not a backpacking, let's stay in hostels kind of traveller. I love staying at nice hotels, trying all sorts of restaurants from cheap to expensive, shopping and splurging a bit when I'm away. So yeah, what would I pay too much for? TRAVELING.

I have a couple trips planned this year but one trip I had hoped to make and had to postpone is one to Tokyo, Japan. My heart is pretty set on going, especially since I've never been to Asia and I am determined to go one day (and will need to start saving ASAP!).
