1. New York
City - While
I’ve never been
there (except to
the airport),
New York City
makes this list
because of how
famous it is.
New York is
everything we
see: on
television, in
music, media,
the news … it’s
all we ever hear
about. So this
city is
definitely a
place to visit,
even if it’s
just to see what
all the fuss is
about.
2. Madrid,
Spain -
Madrid is one of
the most
historical and
beautiful cities
in Spain in my
opinion. You’d
be crazy not to
drink a glass a
sangria and see
a flamenco show
while you were
there, too. It’s
all about
soaking in the
culture because,
in Madrid, it’s
abundant.
3. Florence,
Italy -
Florence is my
favorite city in
the world
(BEFORE it
became a scene
in the second
“Twilight”
movie). There’s
something about
Florence that is
both mysterious
and romantic,
you have to
actually go
there to see
what I mean. And
while some say
it’s overrated,
another one of
my favorite
places in Italy
is of course,
Rome, because of
all the history
and the
Coliseum, which
is surreal once
you see it in
real life.
4. Nice,
France - The
city of Nice has
castles from the
15th century
that you can
actually walk
through; it will
blow your mind.
5. The
pyramids in
Egypt –
‘Cause you just
gotta see ‘em!
6. Santorini,
Greece -
Greek culture is
SO interesting
to me, and the
city of
Santorini is
supposedly one
of the prettiest
in the country.
I think this
makes the list
simply because
of the culture
you will find
there.
7. London,
England -
London has been
in so many
movies it’s not
even funny …
even then I
think it’s still
worth seeing
with your own
eyes. (Maybe
even hang out
with Madonna or
Gwyneth while
you’re there.)
8. Frankfurt,
Germany -
Because who
doesn’t love
lederhosen and
lebkuchen?
9. San José,
Costa Rica -
The people of
Costa Rica
(while still a
second-world
country) are the
happiest people
you will ever
meet. Must do’s:
zip-lining,
horseback riding
(on the beach!),
white water
rafting,
rappelling and
snorkeling.
10. Sydney,
Australia -
They say
Australia has
the most
dangerous
species of
animals in the
world, but I’d
still love to
visit because it
would be so
different from
the ordinary.
Hopefully you
could pick up an
Australian
accent while
you’re there,
too. |
