I have always longed to see the world. South America is full of gorgeous mountains, waterfalls, diverse foods, amazing city skylines, and an incredible history. This continent just south of us holds many of our world's most beautiful gems. Being able to see any of these places would be a worthwhile trip for anyone. Whether you want to eat street food in Colombia, take a picture at the salt flats in Bolivia, or any other of the beautiful cities in South America has something for everyone.

La Boca is a barrio or neighborhood in Buenos Aire where the streets are lined with color and life. While here dance the tango, eat Carne Asado in the world's best steakhouses, and walk up and down the streets of the beautiful neighborhood.

3. Salt Flat , Bolivia

For the photographers of the group, this is the best destination to see. The salt flats reflect the light and demonstrate nature's true beauty. The largest flat is named Salar de Uyuni located in the southwest corner of Bolivia near the Andes Mountains. While this trip does take a bit of a journey to reach it is worth it!!!

4. Medellin , Colombia

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
