Start learning about the places you want to go, even if you don't know when you'll get there.
This challenge should be fun. From the list of places you want to go at some point in life, pick one -preferably a decent sized city, or a country - and become obsessed with the place this week. Research this place to find out about it's history, culture, and monuments. Look for sample itineraries, reviews of restaurants and hotels, and fun events. From these you will figure out how long you'd need to spend in the place, and possibly what time of year you'd like to go (perhaps there is a festival in June, or something). You can also start looking at the prices: how much will it take to get there? How much are the hotel prices there? What would food cost for the duration of your stay? This will start showing you how much you need to save for your future trip. Besides getting excited and more knowledgable about a particular place in just a week, doing all this research will help you start formulating your plan for how to get there, and that's the perfect first step!
