Many of you may know that I have been caffeine free now for over 2 years. Those same people probably know how ADDICTED I was before I went off my 6 litres a day. I have reached a happy place now where I am able to have decaf drinks every now and then without craving the real thing.
As a result, Starbucks has crept back into my life in a number of ways. If you love Starbucks as much as I do you might enjoy these things as well!
1) Even though it isn’t “Holiday” anymore you can still order your favorite drink, or at least I still can. Here is my standing order:
“Decaf, Venti, Soy, Extra Hot, No Whip, No Foam, Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha”
2) If you use a Starbucks Card to pay for your purchases and you register that card online there are many benefits. Such as free drinks, free soy, free flavor shots, free WiFi in store, and balance protection. If you card is lost or stolen they can cancel and move your money to a new card.
3) You can now become a fan of “Starbucks Canada” on Facebook. If you live abroad there is the generic “Starbucks” page.
4) I don’t know how I missed this but on December 7th Starbucks organized an awesome video as part of their Project Love & (RED) campaign. The video is amazing and explains itself. It also reminds me of places I would like to see someday.
After watching that video I came up with this list of countries I haven’t yet been to that are on “the list”. This list is in no particular order. This list contains some countries that aren’t exactly safe to travel to but I hope to see someday. If you have a fabulous experience or story with one of these countries comment and let me know. Or if you live in one of these countries let me know too!

WOW! That list is huge! I won’t be running out of places to visit anytime soon. That doesn’t include countries that I have already been too, countries that I want to go to that weren’t in the video, or countries I want to see again. If your country isn’t listed and you think it should be let me know why. I probably left it off because I have already been there or don’t know the reason I should go yet.
why isn’t my little island there 🙁 still thinking about tibet?
Ooooo good point! It wasn’t in the video so it wasn’t on my list. So yes Puerto Rico is now added to the list!
