I don't know about you but travel is always on my brain. When it is not in the forefront of my mind it is at least in my passing thoughts. To me travel is essential, like air and water are to live. There is just something about waking up in a completely foreign place that is addicting. So in an effort to try to fill the void of travel in my life right now, I decided I could at least pretend travel through researching the number one places I want to go once this pandemic is over.
Europe: Italy
Although the cities in the Amalfi Coast region may seem super touristy I promise you that there are still some hidden gems.

Honestly, I think this one needs the least explanation. Italy has so much to offer from its historic cities like Rome to the canals of Venice to the Amalfi Coast, Italy has it all. Not only is it on the top of my list because of its amazing variety of cities but also for the food. Food is really important to me and especially while traveling luckily, Italian food does not disappoint!
North America: Belize
Belize may just have the best beaches ever but you didn't hear it from me.

As someone who has been to Belize before believe me when I tell you that there is no place like it. The white sand beaches, beautiful turquoise waters and friendly locals all make Belize so special. There is also so much history and culture to explore in the cities as well and I can't forget to mention I highly recommend trying local food it is amazing!
South America: Peru
A beautiful day at Machu Picchu

I could just stare at this picture for hours trying to take in the immense beauty and magnitude of Machu Picchu that I can't imagine what I would do if I where actually there. But there is so much to do in Peru besides Machu Picchu. You can explore Lima and Cusco or if you prefer a more rugged adventure the amazon is yours for the trekking. I could go on for a whole paragraph about everything Peru has to offer so instead of just reading about it go experience it!
Asia: Thailand
Ha Long Bay needs no introduction as it has quickly become a popular spot among tourists.

Thailand has always been a country that in my opinion is full of mystery and unexplored places. Not only does it have stunning water views but the cities themselves are also beautiful. There is so much history and culture in Thailand that you could easily spend a week here. Thailand is at the top of my list because of its variety. Thailand has something for everyone!
Oceania: Australia
Australia's grasslands are some of the most beautiful and diverse ecosystems.

It is a country that is completely opposite in features and terrain from one side to the other. But, I couldn't think of a more diverse and interesting place. Not only is Australia secluded because of its geographical location but what stands out to me is the amount of wildlife it has. You can snorkel the Great Barrier Reef or go on a wildlife safari. I couldn't think of a cooler place to explore!
Now I'm going to go book a plane ticket, because why not!
