Australia

The last place on my travel list is Australia. Specifically three distinct regions in Australia: Queensland, South Australia, and South Wales. Starting with Queensland, it is known for its beautiful sunny weather and abundance of coastline. Including the Gold Coast and the tropical Great Barrier Reef. In this region I would love to snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef. Its one of the largest places to snorkel with a vast array of oceanic life. Moving onto South Australia, I’d like to visit the city of churches aka Adelaide for its historical culture and architecture. And also Kangaroo island, which is exactly what it sounds like. An island filled with exotic wildlife, majority of which are Kangaroos. Last but not least, South Wales. In this region there is Sydney, the infamous city of Australia, the Blue mountains, the Snowy mountains, and the vast desert. I want to visit Sydney for all of its tourist attractions such as the harbor bridge, the Sydney tall tower, the Taranga zoo, and Luna Amusement park. Both the Blue and the Snowy mountains offer hiking and a cold release from the otherwise scorching hot Australia. All of these attractions / sites are the reasons why I want to travel to Australia. For the all of the unique scenery, culture, and wildlife.

Do you share my travel goals? What would you do differently? Why would you want to see and or do in Australia? Let me know in the comments below!

Greece!

My next travel destination is Greece. I’ve always wanted to travel there for the beaches, the food, and the shopping. Greece has hundreds of street vendors and markets everyday. Its a unique place to get one of a kind clothes and gifts. Many of the items sold are homemade and very affordable. This is a great way to gain personal insight into Greek culture. Speaking of Greek culture, Greece is also known for its many renown restaurants including: Gostijo, Scala Vinoteca, and Ermis. All three come with hundreds of recommendations and glowing praise from thousands of satisfied customers. And last but certainly not least, the coastline of Greece. Home to some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, it is a travel destination for weddings, honeymoons, and even royal getaways. Some of the most popular beaches are:Rhodes, Santorini, and Kamari. All stunningly gorgeous. All of these reasons put together make Greece one of my top travel destinations, and hopefully has inspired your own!

Fiji!

I’ve always wanted to go to the islands of fiji because of the gorgous weather and unique attractions. If I ever were to go I would stay on the Taveuni island for a few days for site seeing, then go to Tadrai island to snorkel and spend time on the beach. What separates Fiji from other tropical getaways for me is the grand scale of it all. Therer are so many islands to go to and so many different leisure things to do.

The republicof Fiji is a combined 332 tropical islands. Thousands of miles of beutiful coastline with hundreds of attractions. The top three attractions of Fiji are: the coral coast, the yasawas, and the taveuni volcanos. Starting with the coral coast. It is a 50 mile stretch of coastline from the island Nadi to the island Suva. In that stretch is “the fiji salad bowl” a huge valley filled with hundreds of acres of crops. It’s a look at what the rural parts of the islands look like. Then there’s the Great Astrolabe Reef. A beutiful strech of a coral reef where snorkling is offered in multiple locations. And last, the taveuni volcanos are located on Taveuni island. They are huge shield volcanos that stretches 65 miles wide. They are a huge once in a lifetime attraction to see. 

Venice, Italy

Venice is on the very top of my dream travel destination list. From the rich cuisine to the infamous water streets this city has so much unique and exciting culture to offer! Starting with the streets themselves, no other city on the planet has the same romantic, gondola(boat) ridden canals to get around on. And to begin on where the gondola’s can take you, first off, the Grand Canal. It is one of the biggest canals running through Venice.Surrounded by hundreds of shops, historic buildings, museums, etc… It is the perfect “one stop shop” of Venice. All in one place you get a glimpse of the city’s history and culture. The next attraction is simply the cooking classes/ tours offered in the city. Who doesn’t want to learn (or at least taste) a delicious authentic Italian dish? The city offers two very popular tours of Venice cuisine, in which you travel around the city to taste the best food it has to offer. The other option is to take one of the many cooking classes offered to tourists. This allows you to try something different on vacation, maybe learn some skills and dishes you can bring back home to share! The third attraction in Venice is the Palazzo Ducale, or Doge’s palace. Originally a Gothic style palace built for the Doge family when they were known as the supreme family of the Republic of Venice, now is a public historic art museum. Home to very prestigious works of art,including Giovanni Battista and Venczenco Pepino. These are just the top three reasons Venice, Italy is on my list of dream travel destinations. There are so many more historical and artistic attractions in Venice. It is truly a beautiful, one of a kind city

Piedmont Italy

Piedmont has many attractions. Starting with the National Cinema Museum. It holds a wide collection of china photography equipment dating from before picture film to cutting edge modern models. This museum also holds a huge 300,000+ collection of film, posters, and books. This museum also hosts some of the most well known film festivals such as the Torino Film Festival.1

Next is the Basilica de Superga. Dating back to 1717, it is a castle built for Victor Amadeus II of Savoy. It holds dozens of tombs from the Savoy heirloom. The church is styled Baroque Classicism and resembles parts of Michelangelo’s dome work of St Peters Basilica. It is a piece of art that has survived decades and represents historic culture of Italy.

Next is The Giardini Botanici Villa Taranto. It is an 8km wide botanical garden originally built for the Duke of Taranto. It holds over 20,000 plant varieties, more than 300 species, and over 7km of pathway for the public to use.

Last, the Royal Palace of Turin (Piedmont) was built for the royal Savoy family back in the 16th century. The palace includes the Palazzo Chiablese and the Chapel of the Holy Shroud. In 1946, the building became the property of the state and was turned into a museum, and in 1997, it was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list
