Sardinia is everything that everyone loves about Italy (the food, the architecture, the weather, etc.) combined into one Mediterranean island filled to the brim with beaches and sea caves. One of the most popular countries that tourists love to go to during their vacations is Italy for all those reasons, so give this island filled with beaches a go this summer.

2. Chiang Mai, Thailand

Many people are interested in Asian culture, and Chiang Mai is one of the best places to experience their culture. Plus, it offers a truer sense of Thailand than many of the tourist traps in the country. It's one of the most gorgeous travel destinations in Southeast Asia, and is a cooler alternative to Bangkok, in both climate and general vibe. Chiang Mai is also home to the Elephant Nature Park, where you can feed, bathe, and play with elephants that have been rescued from abusive environments.

3. Basque Country, Spain

Basque Country is the home of lots of nature, art, and a lot of history behind the land. It's home to many beach towns, the Oma forest, and even many locations where "Game of Thrones" have been previously filmed (i.e. San Juan de Gaztelugatxe in Bermeo was the castle at Dragonstone). This is a must for anyone wanting some adventure this summer.

4. Wales, United Kingdom

The summer heat can be tiring after a while, so why not stop somewhere on the cooler side? Canada has the perfect weather during the summer, not being hot year round. Interior British Columbia has some of the most jaw-dropping mountains in North America, and is a great hiking site. It even has many handcrafted beer pubs that are to die for and everyone needs to try at least once.

7. Corfu, Greece

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.

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.
