Traveling is a life necessity to become more culturally rounded. This opens new doors and opportunities to seeing beautiful places and meeting beautiful people. Sometimes, the hardest part about traveling is deciding on a destination. Here are five places that are not only visually gorgeous, but hold undiscovered wonders for you to see:

1. The Turks and Caicos Islands

I took a trip to Turks and Caicos a few months ago and it was one of the best vacations that I have ever been on. I stayed at the Beaches resort and the island was amazing, filled with welcoming, kind-hearted people. I would recommend this island to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation with crystal blue waters.

2. Nashville, Tennessee

I also recently took a trip to Nashville. Even if you are not a huge fan of country music, this places is filled with incredible people and musicians that will make your life genuinely happier. Southern hospitality is indeed a real thing.

3. Verona, Italy

This is an excellent destination for people looking to explore the wonders of Italy while getting a chance to picture the settings in “Romeo and Juliet”. Verona is exceptionally beautiful with amazing architecture, art, and restaurants.

4. Dublin, Ireland

While right on the coast of Ireland, Dublin is filled with exciting things to do, great beer, and incredible humans. There are magnificent museums to get fully submerged in Ireland’s culture and to get a sense of the country’s history. Dublin Castle is another amazing sight to see that played a large role in the nation’s history.

5. Sitka, Alaska

For those of you are fans of Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, Sitka, Alaska is a must-see on a travel destination list. In addition to the fact that this was the setting for the romantic-comedy The Proposal, Sitka is the home to beautiful mountains overlooking breathtaking waters. Without a doubt, this is a place to see.

Overall, traveling is the key to life. Take the opportunities not to just be a tourist, but to learn about the people and this history. Not only will this bring you bliss, but the feeling of true contentment will set in as you see all of the beautiful and amazing things that this planet has to offer. Let your inner compass take over and start filling up that passport.
