This is going to be a simple blog post, detailing the Top-10 places I’d like to visit in my lifetime. I will provide a quick synopsis as to why this country is on the list and what stands out about.
10. Australia- “The Land Down Under,” has captivated my interest for my entire lifetime primarily due to its wildlife and gorgeous scenery. Unfortunately, much wildlife and scenery has been destroyed due to ongoing fires but hopefully, the country is able to bounce back from these natural disasters and come back as strong and beautiful as ever before.
9. Russia- Put the tumultuous relationship with my country aside, Russia seems so fascinating to me. The designs of many of its buildings are out of this world. But the main reason I want to go is to interact with the locals and get their honest opinion as to what they truly think about the United States and why.
8. Lithuania- Jacob’s home country, it has now become a part of my bucket list since watching his video, “What is Lithuania?” It may be a small country but I know it contains big things on the inside, bigger than I could probably ever imagine. I also see a lot of simplicity here, especially in the capital of Vilnius. Put me down, I’m all for it!
7. South Africa- My goodness, what a mesmerizing location. If there was ever a place that was so out of my “bubble,” of life, in other words things that I am familiar with, this is it! From the culture, to the safaris to the wide open spaces you can practically find almost anywhere, this part of the world is a must-see for me and I need, NEED to go there one day.
6. Ireland- I have Irish heritage inside of me. I want to see what this country is all about. My alma matter, Sacred Heart University, had many courses offered in Dingle, which I didn’t take advantage of (not that I have any college regrets), and I feel that Ireland is a place where I am able to immerse myself with the locals so easily. From what I’ve heard and seen, the Irish are some of the most passionate and welcoming people you can find on earth and I’d love the opportunity to experience all of that first hand.
5. Germany- Another country that has really grabbed my attention. Its culture is so riveting that it sweeps me off my feet and makes me feel like I’m floating on air. I’ve seen a lot of pictures of cities and the foods and buildings and it all just jumps out at me, I cannot describe it.
4. China- Billions of people live in this country, and I’d be willing to speak with every single one of them. I think this would lead to an amazing adventure and would teach me so much more about life and how societies operate and differentiate with one another.
3. South Korea- A country that has really been appealing to me for the last three or four years, primarily because of its history. I’ve seen clips and pictures of its isolated brother country, North Korea, and just really want to get a sense of what Korean culture is all about. I definitely feel that this country will give me more of that than North Korea and I know it’ll surely be safer and legal.
2. New Zealand- About as far away from my hometown as you can possibly get. I heard that this place is full of surprises left and right and man does that sound like music to my ears. I really don’t know much about the country but that’s why it’s intriguing to me. I want to see what it’s made of.
- Japan- Japan seems like such a well-sophisticated society that I feel I can appreciate. From the people, to the history to its love and passion of baseball, I know for a fact that WHEN I visit this country, it’ll leave me struck and inspired.
