Over the years I’ve kind of lost sight of my dreams to travel, this Summer having seen so many of my favourite bloggers venture all across the world and visiting incredible places I suddenly have itchy feet again (although the Great British Weather has played a part in that too). Consequently I thought I’d pop together a list, a “to-do list” if you like of places I simply must visit during my lifetime.
Morocco: I’ve always had a strange attraction towards Morocco, and I can’t really put my finger on why. It just looks so beautiful with it’s ancient cities, varied cuisine and beautiful buildings, I’m hoping this will be the first place I manage to tick off of my list.
Costa Del Sol: This is kind of cheating actually as I’ve already been to the Costa Del Sol a few times but I just fell in love with this area of Spain and would go back multiple times a year if I could! Given that you can actually do short trips to Morocco whilst staying there adds further fuel to the fire, although the multitude of stunning places to explore along the coast would explain why I’m yet to venture away when I’m there.
Mexico: Another of those places that holds appeal for unknown reason, Mexico also has a long held fascination with me. With a diverse landscape of deserts, jungles and mountains I’d have to make this a very long trip to really get the best of it, but hey, that’s fine by me!
Paris: Just so I can say I’ve been, I feel like this is somewhere that everyone has to visit once in their lifetime at least, plus DISNEY! (I’ve never been!)
Rome: All that history! I was bordering on obsessed with Roman history as a youngster and it’s long been on my list of places I want to see. I’ve heard the food is pretty good in Italy too…pass the pasta!
Iceland: I know a few people who have ventured away from sun, sea and sand recently to visit Iceland instead and looking at the photos they’ve bought back I can easily see why. I’m not a person who enjoys being cold but I think even I could forgive the chillier climate in exchange for stunning scenery and a chance to see the Northern Lights.
Sorrento: Another Italian flight of fancy, Sorrento just looks breathtaking in photos I’ve seen and would be quite a contrast to a Roman city break. Apparently it’s a good place to head to if you like hiking (which I do!) as the views are meant to be incredible.
Japan: Ever since I read “Memoirs of a Geisha” as a teenager I’ve had an urge to visit Japan. From the culture to the food, from the scenery to the hustle and bustle I just know I’ll love it. I need to get over my dislike of long flights though as it’s 14+ hours from the UK to Tokyo, eek!
Australia: I know, everyone and his dog wants to see Australia but I don’t care! For starters I have some rather wonderful friends I’d like to visit and the constant hot weather, variety of places to explore and the chance to view Kangaroos in the flesh see me joining the cliche! I will make it out there one day, flight, spiders and snakes phobias pending.
Where in the world would you most like to visit and why?
