Some of the top dreams on my bucket list include traveling to various parts of the world, both in and out of the United States. Here are just some of the many places I want to travel to before I die.

1. Santorini, Greece

When someone asks me, “If you could travel to one place where would it be,” Santorini, Greece is always my answer. From the beautiful architecture and landscapes of the towns and houses, to the breathtaking sunsets (that I’ve seen on Instagram), Santorini looks like a dream vacation.

2. Ireland

Being from a huge Irish family, Ireland has always been on my “must travel to” list. It may not be a tropical destination, but exploring various castles and pub-crawling through Galway sounds just as exciting!

3. Australia

Besides going for the very attractive Australian accent, Australia has to be, from what I’ve researched about it, one of the most breathtaking places in the world. Personally, I think visiting various beaches and hanging out with some kangaroos would totally be worth the sunburn my Irish skin would get.

4. Africa

From going on an African safari in Kenya, to having dinner with an incredible view in Cape Town, Africa easily makes the top five places I want to travel to before I die.

5. Niagara Falls

I’ve had many friends and family go to Niagara Falls and talk about how incredible it is, so I’ve always wanted to see how beautiful it is in person.

6. Costa Rica

My favorite animal is a sloth, so knowing Costa Rica has sloth sanctuaries makes me want to visit this beautiful country so much more.

7. Various National Parks (Across the United States)

When I was in high school, I did a project on the Maldives, located in the Indian Ocean. Besides the crystal clear water and the white sandy beaches, what really interested me about the Maldives was the fact that it has an underwater hotel!
