As I reflect on what I did for Spring Break I find myself highly disappointed that I wasn’t able to go anywhere extravagant or travel to some faraway land and come back with an enriching tale. Instead, I mostly laid in bed and tried to force my way through the enormous amount of work left to me by my professors. Though, this didn’t stop my imagination from coming up with detailed stories and things I would do if I had visited these beautiful locations. So here are five places I imagined I visited over Spring Break.

1. Scotland

From the moment the first “Harry Potter” movie was released I found that I was obsessed with the idea of visiting Scotland and immersing myself into the beautiful atmosphere and dynamics there. The first place I would start is in Edinburgh. I would explore the stunning landscape and Gothic architecture that can be found there. Compare the vestige of Old town to the architecture found in New Town. I wouldn’t stay in an expensive hotel or anything similar, not just because I don’t have the money, rather, I’d find myself staying in B&B’s so I could interact with the people and the truly integrate myself into the culture.

Next, I’d go to Glasgow. There I’d definitely try to get into the night scene. The immense music culture that is found there is probably just second to that of the U.S. and the deep fried pizza sounds pretty good too. Lastly, I’d visit Aberdeen. As a mellow person who would love to just take a hike or get away from the crowds, Aberdeen is the perfect place to have a peaceful moment to yourself and forget about anything that may be troubling you.

2. London

The first thing I’d actually do once arriving in London would be to try the tea and see what all the fuss is about. Though, after that, I’d head right over to Buckingham Palace to try and make one of the Queen’s Guards laugh. A little childish, I know, but what can I say it’s something I’ve always wanted to do. Then, I would check out the club scene, Proud Camden or the Roof Gardens, as it is probably known as one of the most iconic places in the world to party. Last, I would travel to the Portobello Road Market, Westminster Abbey, and finally Piccadilly Circus.

3. Italy

I’m not going to lie. My main attraction to Italy is the food. How can you not want to go to Italy and try the amazing cuisine served there? Besides this truly enticing factor, the architecture and culture found in Italy are truly one of a kind. I would most likely spend most of my time in Rome, visiting the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain and of course the Colosseum.

4. Brazil

Besides going to Brazil to see the amazing culture, beaches and people. I can’t help but be a bit basic when I say one of the main attractions pulling me there is going to the Brazilian Carnival in Rio de Janeiro.

5. Florida

Last, but definitely not least, I’d like to visit Florida, if only to satisfy the inner child in me by finally going to Disney World and Orlando Studios. There is no force on this earth that could keep me from going to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
