5 Countries I'd Love To Visit

Over the last few months I've had a serious case of 'wanderlust'. I think about different places I want to travel to and explore constantly, I read travel blog posts and endlessly search on pinterest. I think it's so important to see as much of the world as possible, to experience different cultures, breath different air, meet new people and see the best the world has to offer.
I'm hoping soon I'll be able to see more of the world, once I've saved up some money, but for now I thought I'd share with you a few countries I'd love to visit. They're not necessarily all my top 5 countries, but they're definitely all in my top 10 places to visit, and they'll probably be yours too after you see the photographs...

Italy
I think Italy looks absolutely beautiful and fascinating. I can't pinpoint one specific place I want to go because I want to see it all! I think Rome is top of my list though; the Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum, the Spanish Steps and Palatine Hill look amazing. I'm also dying to visit Pompeii, Venice and Tuscany.

Switzerland
This doesn't seem to be a popular choice when it comes to people going travelling but I really want to visit Switzerland one day. It looks peaceful, calm, beautiful and almost magical.
Lake Geneva is one of the largest lakes in Europe, surrounded by mountains, a hilly plain and the alps with elegant towns and cities too.
 Bern looks utterly picturesque. It's a medieval city which dates back to the 12th century. There's an ancient clock tower with moving puppets, a Gothic cathedral and market stalls.

Vietnam
Ever since I saw the Top Gear special in Vietnam I've had an urge to go there, which has since been cemented in more by EmTalks blogposts on her trip there, which she called life changing.
It looks like such an incredible country with so many different things to see. Ha Long Bay is my number 1 place to visit, with it's aqua-green water and cluster of rocky outcrops rising from the water it looks like something from a fantasy story. It features over 2,000 jungle-covered Islands with caves and grottoes…get me there! The old city of Hoi An is on my list too, for it's historic architecture and traditional culture. It's full of tiny pathways, traditional wooden houses and little shops.

Greece
Greece isn't somewhere I've really wanted to visit before, but after seeing some gorgeous photos and hearing travel bloggers talk about the country I'd love to visit. Namely the Greek Islands Corfu and Santorini (the latter being top of my wish list…I'd give a lot to go there!); they look breathtakingly stunning. But I'd also love to see the mainland, Hyrda is a small town that's arty and pretty.

The USA
Huge country, and so much of it I want to see. New York city is somewhere I've been longing to go for ages, to walk through central park, see the Empire State Building and explore. Then I'd want to go to the Grand Canyon, LA, visit Texas - especially San Antonio, and walk through the cobbled streets of Savannah.

There's so many more places I feel I need to see. Bali, Cuba, Brazil, more of France and Australia is definitely very high on my list; the only reason it isn't in my top 5 is because I think I might do a separate post on Australia…there's a lot of things I want to see in that country.

If you could go anywhere in the world, 

where would you go?

Things I Want To Do Before I'm 30

HELLO! I haven't blogged in so long!

Unfortunately my laptop had been broken so I was unable to blog and then I kind of forgot about it, but oh how I've missed blogging. 

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am BACK and that I have a YouTube channel now if you'd like to check it out here is the link.

I recently did a video about Things I Want To Do Before I'm 30 which you can watch here, and I thought I would also do a blogpost about it.

1. Travelling, there are so many places I want to go! I want to ride camels in Egypt to the pyramids, I want to go on safari in South Africa, I want to see the Northern Lights, road trip America - New York has to be top of the list, I'd love to spend New Years Eve in Times Square, I want to go to Australia and New Zealand, walk The Great Wall Of China and so many more places!
2. Swim with dolphins, this is something I have wanted to do for so long now. It just looks amazing, dolphins seem like such lovely, intelligent animals and they always look like they're having the best time when I see them swimming with people. I will do it one day!

3. Run Race for Life, this is a fund-raising event just for women to do in aid of Cancer Research UK, you can run, walk or jog the 5-Kilometre course and you get sponsored for doing so. I'd love to do this with a group of friends one year, it looks like fun and obviously it's for a brilliant cause. 
4. Break a world record, I don't really care what, I just want to break one! Then I can get a certificate and be able to say I am the best at something and no-one has beaten me.
5. Attend the Olympics, I am so gutted that I didn't get tickets to any events when the Olympics were in London in 2012, I got so into it, the atmosphere was amazing and seeing the games in my country - 50 minutes away from me - was just amazing. Nothing will beat that, but I'd still love to see the games. 
6. Climb a mountain, I don't have a preference as to which one, I'd just like to climb one. I imagine the feeling when you get to the top of it is phenomenal. 
7. Go to a big music festival, I have been to a local smaller festival before but I would love to go to V Fest or Glastonbury next year. I'm a massive fan of live music, so a festival would be a dream to go to.

8. Go horseriding along a beach, I used to do horseriding when I was younger and I loved it, I've seen people horseriding along a beach before and it looks incredible! The horses look like they're having the best time and it looks like so much fun, it's something I have always wanted to do.
9. Learn to drive, I have had a few lessons so far but I am no where near ready to take my test. I hate having to rely on lifts, or public transport all the time. 
10. Be happy and successful, did that sound cheesy? Yep? Thought so. But by the time I am 30 I don't want to be unhappy or unsuccessful, whatever I end up doing, hopefully I won't be. 

What would you like to achieve before you get to a certain age?
