10 Places I Would Love to Visit

Traveling is a wonderful thing to do; visiting new places, exploring different cultures, meeting new friends. It all brings such a joyous feeling that lasts for days.

During my 30 short years of life, I have only been on vacation two times and each time we stayed in the United States. I've been from Ohio up to Maine, down to Florida and back up to Ohio and to all the states between as a teenager. I got to see some amazing things, places, views, and meet some wonderful people. It's amazing what I learned throughout the different areas I went to. I only wish I had a camera at that time to have some visual memories, but I didn't. I only have memories safely tucked away in my mind to always remember. And that's what counts - the memories.

I would love to travel and visit other places as well. Not sure how likely it will happen, but you just never know. Here's my top 10 places that I would love to visit (not in any particular order):

1 - Devon, England
In all honesty, I never knew this place existed until after my daughter was born. I named my daughter Devon and then not long after she was born I decided I wanted to do a research on a country and Devon, England popped up.... Ever since then, I have had this dream of traveling there with my daughter, Devon.

2 - Australia
I have dreamed of going to Australia since I was a kid. Not sure if it was just the accent that done it for me or what, but I've always thought it would be a great place to visit.

3 - Greenland
Growing up I always thought of Greenland of this beautiful country covered in green grassy hills, beautiful summer view that we are using here (well, the weather any way), and lots of warm weather for lots of fun outside activities... But then I learned that Greenland is pretty much the opposite, it doesn't get very warm there and that the humidity is low thus making it feel a little warmer than it actually is. But still, I want to go... :)

4 - Iceland
Now, how can I not want to go to Iceland if I go to Greenland.... I think they go hand in hand; thinking one is the opposite of the other... But from what I've read, Iceland has breathe taking scenery and so much more. I would just love to go and learn about their country.

5 - Scotland
I don't know why, but I love the mix of colors that this country represents with their traditional dress, the bag pipes, and the landscapes. From pictures I've seen, this place is amazing!

6 - Germany
For the past 6 and a half years, I have known this lovely lady who lives in Germany. She's told us some of the fun things that goes on whereabouts where she is and it all sounded so wonderful. I've seen some pictures from someone who has also visited there and the sights and buildings where beautiful. And if I'm not mistaken, I think my family has a bit of German in us too. :)

7 - Kalalau Valley, Hawaii
Hawaii is another place I've dreamed of visiting. I hear it is so beautiful there. I think it would be a great place to just vacation on without bringing the kids...

8 - Tulum, Mexico
This place looks to peaceful and relaxing. What more could I ask for. It would be a wonderful break from everyday life and provide lasting memories and relaxation. Guess I can dream, huh?

9 - Yoho National Park, Canada
This would be a fantastic place to vacation if you are looking forward to the outdoor wonders - hiking, camping, mountain biking, and more. Now that I think of it, this would be my daughter's first pick if it was up to her...lol

10 - The Chillon Castle in Veytaux, Switzerland
I have always wanted to go inside of a ancient castle to see what it's like and just dream that I owned the place. What fun that would be? :) Just think, being able to walk on the inside and picture what it was like all those years ago. Amazing.
