10 places I want to see before I die.

Thailand
This has always been my dream destination. The beautiful white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, history, cheap shopping and wonderful cultures and people have always appealed to me. All the different activities one can do and sites one can see are a dream for me. Hopefully I will be visiting Thailand at the end of the year.

Dubai
Just seeing the airport during a stop between plane changes, was enough to tell me that Dubai must be fabulous. That and stories from friends and ample YouTube videos have told me that Dubai has so much to offer. Since everything is pretty much manmade you can find almost anything you could imagine. The worlds tallest building, an indoor snowboarding/skiing slope and the worlds largest aquarium are just some highlights. All this, along with beautiful beaches, camel rides and belly dancers, make this country both rich in wealth and culture.

Poland
I have wonderful friends there and am extremely interested in the history of Poland. I would also love to visit places such as Auschwitz. I find it to be an incredibly interesting country with so much history.

India
I find the culture fascinating and beautiful and the customs and traditions enthralling. With so many different festivals, whether you are there for the Holi festival in February/March or Diwali in October/November it is bound to be both exciting and breathtakingly beautiful. With so much to see and do... India seems amazing. Plus, who would not want to take the perfect instagram picture in front of the Taj Mahal.

Turkey
A country that spans across two continents and seems a perfect combination of East and West... Turkey seems delightful and chock full of history. Not to mention that one of my favourite foods, doner durums (basically a shwarma), are the speciality in Turkey. I have always heard so many interesting stories from my dad about his travels through Turkey and thus have always found it appealing.

Greece
This beautiful marble filled haven with its gorgeous beaches and a library full of history. From the stunning beaches of Mykonos, to the beautiful mountainous areas, the infamous Athens and all the wondrous stories it holds. Greece seems like the perfect combination of old and new.

Croatia
Before leaving on my previous trip I did a bunch of research on places to visit. One blog that I read listed 10 of the most beautiful natural sites/places to visit. Five were in Croatia. Since I am quite an outdoorsy, nature girl I think I would love Croatia.

Prague
When I picture Prague, I picture a beautiful cobblestoned city that has somehow stayed beautiful and escaped the destruction that affected its neighbours... although I may be wrong. The Czech Republic as a whole seems wonderful and I have heard that the Czech people are incredibly welcoming.

Brazil
My mom has always wanted to see the Rio Carnival and thus I have found an interest in it too. The culture seems incredible... festive, colourful and vibrant. Plus 60% of the Amazon Rain Forest lies in the North of Brazil so one has the opportunity to see that too.

Alaska
I do not really enjoy winter or just cold weather for that matter, but for some strange reason I find Alaska rather appealing. It seems like a winter wonderland.
