let's see the world & never look back...

so as i was sitting in my new fave cafe here in madrid journaling (faborit, it's a better version of starbucks in my opinion), i began to think about the different places that i would like to travel to. it's still very surreal to me that i'm in spain right now, but i know that this is only the beginning of my travels around the world. originally, i have given myself 12 years to achieve this, but i'm pretty sure that i can do it in ten years (that's when my passport expires!)

in no particular order, here are my top twelve...

1. sydney, australia - not only do i want to go to the opera house, but i also want to throw a boomerang, hold a koala and see a kangaroo too. =]

2. paris, france - the city of love and romance. i want my photo in front of the eifle tower and to people watch while snacking on crossaints.

3. london, england - this seems like a pretty simple one, and achievable like the rest but there's something about the english culture that i find very intriguing. i also want to have tea with the queen *a girl can dream right?*

4. capetown, south africa - this needs no explanation whatsoever. the motherland, period.

5. hong kong, china - just seeing pics from my friends who have studied there, it just looks like it's poppington. and being a business major, i want to embrace the professional culture there as well.

6. tokyo, japan - like hong kong, the busyness of this culture seems very captivating to me, and i want to experience their transportation system there as well (the bullet train? i think so...)

7. egypt, africa - another one that needs no explanation. the pyramids, the history...just seems too good not to be on the list.  

8. mexico - yes, i know it borders the U.S., but i don't just want to go to cabo, cozumel or puerta vallerta, but the historical sites in mexico city, guadalajara and monterrey.

9. central america (jamaica, el salvador, costa rica, panama) - i know it's a long shot squeezing all of these places into one, and forgive me if i'm wrong for that. i just think that they are all beautiful and have very rich culture. island hopping will be necessary.

10. south america (peru, argentina, chile, columbia) - another beautiful country full of culture. i love the spanish culture even more after being over here in spain and i want to learn about another perspective of it by going to these places.

11. rome and florence, italy - the fashion, the monuments, the gelato. what else more is there to say?

12. india - let me just first say that i love bhangra and bollywood #boom. secondly, vividness and boldness of indian culture interests me a lot. lastly, the tahj mahal.



i'm going to try to remain a college student as long as i can so that i can be able to go see a few of these places *LBVS* -- who's coming with?

what are some places that you would like to see?
