Places List

BALI, INDONESIA

I’m ready to Eat Pray Love it all up in Bali.

THE GREAT BARRIER REEF

As a diver, this is clearly a must.

SOUTHERN THAILAND

I didn’t make it here when I went except for a brief stint on a tiny island–would love to see Phuket!

BELIZE

Another must-see diving spot! Also…Mayan ruins? Yes please!

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS

I haven’t seen much of the East Coast, and Boston is at the top of my list–beautiful and historical!

ITALY

There are specific spots I would love to see (Amalfi Coast, Cinque Terre, Venice, Rome…) but really, I want to see it ALL.

VIRGINIA

Another historic spot in the East I’ve always wanted to see!

GREECE

Are you catching a pattern here? I love history…and Greece has it all. Plus…Santorini  .

OKTOBERFEST, GERMANY

Bavaria in general seems like one giant fairy tale.

CASTLE TOUR IN EUROPE

Enough said. I want to sleep in one, too.

Neuschwanstein, hello.

VANCOUVER, CANADA

The Boyfriend and I almost made it here except for a passport mishap (er, one or both of us may have forgotten ours…) and I am dying to go!

MALDIVES

The perfect tropical escape.

NEW ZEALAND

My cousin studied abroad here and I was always sad I never got a chance to visit! She loved it.

ISTANBUL, TURKEY

I almost studied abroad here but they began to have some political issues. Still! The culture! The colors! Both Europe and the Middle East! It’s got it all.

TAJ MAHAL, INDIA

NEW ENGLAND IN THE FALL

I’ve always wanted to drive down the coast, leaf-peeping! Autumn is my favorite and I’ve heard New England is nearly incomparable.

MAINE

I secretly have always wanted to live in Maine…but I should probably visit before I fully decide…

IGUAZU FALLS, ARGENTINA/BRAZIL

I have a thing for waterfalls.

ALASKA

I must see the Northern Lights here! And the glaciers! The mountains! The wildlife! Maybe I’ve wanted to live here ever since Julie of the Wolves in 5th grade. (Please tell me I’m not the only one who adored these books?)

PARIS

I’m slightly completely obsessed with Paris. Who’s with me?

PETRA

A city carved in rocks? Are you kidding me?

SOUTH AFRICA

I never was very interested in South Africa, but recently it’s become a popular tourist spot on many blogs I follow and I can completely  see why. Can’t you??

AFRICAN SAFARI

I need to see an African elephant, a giraffe, some zebras…

I need to ride a camel.

The new Rivera in Europe is the Albanian one…who knew??

ZION NATIONAL PARK

It’s a crime I’ve lived so close to this and have yet to see it.

SPAIN

Especially the Alhambra!

BANFF NATIONAL PARK

My friends went there on their honeymoon and saw nine grizzly bears in like, two days! Or something. Anyway, it’s supposed to be a majestic mountain paradise.

MESA VERDE NATIONAL PARK

Like Petra, but a wee bit closer to home.

MOROCCO

Has always seemed like the epitome of exotic to me!

BIG SUR, CALIFORNIA

I’ve always wanted to live here, too–can you imagine seeing this every. day??

The culture of Buenos Aires, the beauty of the country, the harshness of Patagonia…wow!

A jewel of the South American coast (or so I hear?)

Another hot spot for diving! (Plus, my brother and dad both went…gotta keep up!)

The top of the Alps! In a little gondola! A.maz.ing.

Even though Hawaii may seem a little touristy, I’ve always wanted to see the volcanoes and jump off the waterfalls.

FLORIDA

Harry Potter world! The Keys! St. Augustine!

QUEBEC

It’s like France. But closer. I could live here, too, I think. Especially if the whole Paris thing doesn’t work out.

JAPAN

Again with the cherry blossoms and amazing fall, I know. And…the history. Also, who wouldn’t want to visit the homeland of sushi?

I’m dying to stay in these igloos and look for the Northern Lights! And maybe see a reindeer.

These Portuguese islands in the Atlantic are full of adventure and beauty.

ISLE OF SKYE
