Well I'm really new at this; only a few months. My first coin released was heading for a specific cache on the other side of the country starting in California. A friend in NY released his coin headed for my cache at the same time. So I guess it's like a race. My 2nd coin I mailed to Norway, it's being dropped there for me, and it's mission is several northern locations (e.g., Iceland) in a specific order and then headed home. I offered a prize to the cacher who places my coin first in each requested country. I went to Europe with my coin because some said less were stolen there. I don't know if that's true; we'll see. I also sent a coin to the PGR IV, it starts 6/27. I have a 4th in Todie's Wild Ride.
My next coin is hopefully going to Ireland and circumnavigate the country. So those are some of my travel plans. Hope it helps and I really like your thread.
