A real vision for the future.

I've never really thought about coming up with a vision and a plan of actions in order to accomplish it. However, it doesn't mean I've never thought about my future in general.
I think one's vision about the future must be real and action oriented as well. At this point I rather disagree with the speaker from the video we watched in class. My vision about my life is more associated with a certain life I would like to have. Work for me is more of a tool in order to achieve my vision. I would like to be able to spend less time working and more time traveling and doing things I like. Therefore I need to be able to constantly improve my working skills. So I'm planning to graduate from Baruch and start my master degree, because I have the two years required in finance industry before I can apply to the business school. After finishing it I'm planning on enrolling in one of the International Manager programs that most of international financial institutions offer, so I can combine my traveling hobby with work and get to experience different cultures.
Well, I know this might sound slightly vague and seem ambitious, but I find it very achievable and long term enough make it a vision, but not too long to make it seem close enough.
