Truly Amazing Places You Must Visit
Wall papers XL

With Fall beginning, we begin planning on what places we want to visit for the next vacation. With so many places to go see, how do you pick just one? There's so much to consider when planing a vacation; is it a lot of hiking, are you going visit museums or art exhibits, do you plan to do both, what do you even do while on vacation? While the plans are still unclear of what you would like to do, here's some truly amazing places you should consider visiting.

1. The Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia

The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef and contains an abundance of marine life and even has over 3,000 individual reef systems. When visiting this breathtaking beauty, you can enjoy experiences including; snorkeling, scuba diving, aircraft or helicopter tours, bare boats (self-sail), glass-bottomed boat viewing, semi-submersibles and educational trips, cruise ship tours, and so much more.

2. Antelope Canyon, Arizona, USA


A quick side note, that is how the typical scene in Upper Antelope Canyon looks like. That is 100% real, that is not a painted picture. This is one of the most visited slot canyon in the Southwest because it is easily accessible and the most publicized. The price for entering the park and visiting the Canyon might be a little steep compared to other parks, but it would be absolutely worth it.

3. Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia

Within this heavily forested national park, there are 16 crystalline lakes that flow into each other through a series of waterfalls and cascades. There are wooden footbridges and pathways that snake around the edges and across the water. It takes about six hours to explore the lakes on foot, but you can slice two hours off by taking advantage of the park's free boats and buses which depart every 30 minutes from April to October. If you don't want to spend six hours hiking, the upper lake section can be completed in about two hours, and then the lower section takes about three. Unfortunately, swimming is not allowed at the lakes, but it is still an amazing view.

4. Venice, Italy

Venice is the perfect city for travelers who are seeking a unique city experience. There are canals that run through similar to roadways which are a wonderful way to see the beautiful city around you while traveling. Some great spots to go to are; the Rialto Bridge, Teatro La Fenice, Saint Mark's Basilica, and Gallerie dell'Accademia.

5. Highlands, Iceland

For years, the interior of Iceland was basically inaccessible, now the mountain roads Kjölur and Sprengisandur and the untouched wilderness of Iceland's mountainous centre is currently open to the public. They suggest cautious exploration by foot or 4x4 vehicles during the summer months. I won't go into too much detail about this because a lot of the names are pretty hard to explain, but one of the best attractions is being able to see the northern lights, which are absolutely spectacular.

Of course, there are endless possibilities to go out and visit, I personally loved seeing Banff National Park in Canada. But these were just five spectacular places to consider visiting in your lifetime. Some are probably more pricey than others, but they are definitely worth seeing.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
