One of the things that you hear a lot is "I can't wait to get out of this town." If we are honest not many people actually "get out" out for very long. They go to school for two or four years but come back with a new love and appreciation for their little town. They have a new understanding of the world and how it works and know that the little town they came from is the perfect place for them.
Others after the first taste of freedom can't get enough. They want to see everything, go everywhere, and explore every corner of the world. These people have wanderlust, a traveler's heart.
A friend of mine who has had the chance to travel more than me (Jealous) "Traveling is like a blind date with a book. You don't know what genre you have stepped into and none of the chapters are numbered.
So what are some of the best places to travel?
1. Guinness Storehouse, Dublin Ireland
The most famous brewery in Ireland, they have an interactive experience where you learn all about how the brew is created before heading to the gravity bar. Bottoms up!
2. Venice, Italy
Want to get away from the all the noise of a city but still want the history and the sites? Head for Venice! No cars, no roads just water, history and good food.
3. London, England
A city that has risen and fallen from famine and war and even burned down. Who knows maybe you can catch a glimpse of the little prince or princess.
4. Skaftafell Ice Cave, Iceland
To all of my spelunkers out there what could be cooler than exploring a cave made of ice? The best part? You could go back each year and explore a new cave. Each year when spring comes and ice rivers melts, a new cave is formed or an old cave is changed.
5. Paris, France
The city of love sigh, ok now that we are passed that. There is so much more to see in this city than the media shows you. So many historical moments occurred here, so many great people were born or died here. I wish I could travel back in time and meet well everyone, just to live one day of the high life and the low.
6. Foteviken Museum, Sweden
Who wouldn't want to go to a museum that had a Viking long ship and a model of a Viking town?
7. Berlin, Germany

8.Great Wall, China
Created originally the Great Wall was created to protect the Chinese empire from invading Mongols. It became a symbol of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's power. Now? People all over the world travel to see this great structure that can be seen from space.

11. Sydney, Australia
P. Sherman
42 Wallaby Way, Sydney
