Travel Curiousity...

1) What are three places you are dying to visit, and why?

2) What is the favorite place you have visited, and why? (no reasons that are sentimental, aka I got engaged there, etc...I want a reason why you would recommend this place to someone else...)

1. South Africa (I love nature, animals, rustic and raw settings)

2. New Zealand ( I'm not sure why, exactly, I just do)

3. Nepal (A Girl I met while traveling in Italy was traveling the world, and she said Nepal was the most breath taking, plus you know that book you reccommended me to read)

1. My favorite place ever visited is still Costa Rica. Nothing (not even historical artifacts and big churches and awesome food) could take away from the natural beauty of black sand beaches and the rain forest.

1. a. Vietnam. I took a lit class on Vietnam War literature in college, and it got me really interested in the country.

1. b. Russia. Maybe it's because of growing up during the Cold War where Russia was this evil place where you just didn't think about going, but I've wanted to visit there for as long as I can remember.

1. c. Italy. I've been to Poland to experience that side of my heritage, but have somehow never been to Italy, and I think I would love it.

2. Prague. I remember my first night there, looking over the city from the top of a hill near Prague Castle and Strahov Monastery (this view), and thinking, "Wow. This is the most beautiful place in the world. I'm sure I'll grow used to it, though." But it never stopped being that beautiful.

1. a) barcelona: i've been to lots of places in spain but not barcelona, and i love spanish culture.
b) australia: i have wanted to visit ever since i saw the facts of life go to australia. i like going places that are similar to the us in some ways (like language) and seeing what else is different.
c) paris: i want to ride the big ferris wheel. i have a thing for ferris wheels.

2. madrid. the whole time i was there i just got the feeling that there was so much going on, so many different little neighborhoods, and that i was only scratching the surface. also i like sangria.

1. spain, greece. been to a lot of european countries but those have, so far, been excluded from my trips. I need to go there! I love seeing the history and architecture and beauty in other countries.

2. can i put 2 places here? a. switzerland. it's amazingly beautiful, colorful, clean, fresh-looking. every person i interacted with was genuinely polite and kind and it was my favorite foreign country i've visited so far! b. grand canyon. if you've never been, you gotta see if from the perspective I did the very first time I visited the place: inside! The first time I was there I was on a hiking trip and we hiked down the canyon (taking out time and loving it, took 2 days) and camped out a couple days and then hiked back up. it was physically exhausting and amazing. Plus I was 16 and with all my friends and we laughed and played and really had the best time ever. good memories. I really want to do it again. Both of these places gave me some of the most amazing pictures ever.

1. India, hands down. I have trouble explaining why - my soul just wants me to go.
Malaysia. I am fascinated by this country.
Tuscany. I want to drive up the coast in a small adorable car and drop in on adorable towns.

2. Budapest. Early summer, cheap, and beautiful. Easy to navigate, and everything I wished it would be. Almost tied with the Rheine valley in Germany, which was also beautiful beyond measure.
