There are so many places I want to see and visit before I die. And while I feel fortunate that I’ve already been to a number of them (Angkor Wat, Acropolis, and Westminster, to name a few) I haven’t even got close to all of the places I want to see.
Perhaps this urge to suddenly travel and explore is just an inner desire to escape from finals (Ugh!), but whether its from that or just another case of wanderlust setting in, I thought I’d share a few of my destinations with you.
Machu Picchu is an ancient royal estate high in the Andes of Peru. The construction consists of megaliths that sit almost on top of a mountain. Because it sits so high, the surrounding view consists of mountain peaks, green foliage, and steep cliffs. Or at least that’s what the pictures look like and the stories say. Either way, it’s truly a city set in the clouds.
I guess it’s not so much a destination as an adventure, but I want to go on an African Safari. I love wildlife and it would be so fun to see some of nature’s most amazing animals in their natural habitat. Just think of trying to sleep out on the savanna, under the clear sky and sparkling stars as the lion roars and the elephants bellow.
There’s not a lot of history with this next destination, which is usually something I look for in the places I travel. I do love history and historical architect, but this place just offers, sand, sun and swimming. Ao Phra Nang Beach in Thailand would be the ideal place to relax, soak up the sun, read, snorkel and scuba dive. I especially love the last two things. Being underwater is like being in another world. Take a look and tell me you wouldn’t want to spend some days just lying around out there.
I think Turkey offers the world traveler a number of options. You have historical landmarks like, Hagia Sophia, amazing beaches that can be experienced on the blue cruise, shopping at the Grand Bazaar and natural landscapes that are diverse and beautiful. Turkey truly has it all. My only regret is that it’s so large that it would take a great deal of time and money, and since time is money, I think it would be really hard to see and do it all. But a man can dream….
Where and what do you dream of seeing?
