5 Jaw-Dropping Places You Have to See

The world is a beautiful place. The mountains, the oceans and everything in between, all have something unique about them that makes them beautiful. Maybe you're most peaceful while gazing out at the sea, or maybe you find solace in the crisp air after hiking to the top of a mountain. One thing we can all agree on, is there's something beautiful out there. This earth has so many vast, untouched places, that it's hard not to day dream about going out and getting lost in the world.

Here is a list of 5 beautiful places your wanderlust can lead you to:

1. Ice Lakes, CO

This obviously has to come first on the list for me. As a Colorado native, and someone who has personally experienced the Ice Lakes, I can vouch that this is a special place indeed. The air, the scenery, the water- everything comes together to create this magical mountainous escape. If you're lucky enough to visit this place, you'll agree that it's one of the most special places on earth. The hike to the lakes is a plus, too.


2. Santorini, Greece

Greece has many beautiful areas, but Santorini is one of my most favorite. This city sprung on the side of a cliff offers beautiful views, wonderful sunsets, and a classic taste of greek life. Santorini is home to the black sand beaches which are a must see.

3. Eilean Donan Castle, Scotland

This place is still on my "I-don't-want-to-call-it-a-bucket-list Bucket List". It looks like a breath taking place to experience, and the lush green mountains are enough to make me want to run away there right this minute. Scotland is one of the most beautiful countries, and if you get to see and experience it, consider yourself very fortunate. It's definitely a place worth visiting with its rich history and customs.

4. Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany


Germany is another country on my not-so-bucket-list. My family hails from Germany, and it's always intrigued me. Getting to see where my family is from would be an amazing experience, but that's not the only reason to go. Everyone can appreciate the beautiful places in Germany. Rothenburg ob der Tauber is one of those beautiful places. It would be a treat to explore this exquisite place.

5. Yosemite Valley, USA

Yosemite is a classic. The mountainous terrain make for beautiful hikes, wonderful camping, and it's a definite on this list. The beauty found in Yosemite is unlike any other. It's been on my bucket list for a while now, and its easy to see why. Many people flock here throughout the year to explore, and it'd be well worth your time to visit.


Whether you like the tropics, or you head for the mountains more, there's something beautiful out there for you. Go, find it, get lost. Enjoy everything this crazy, wild, joyful, beautiful world holds for you. Explore.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
