I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list. – Susan Sontag

Good day, dreamers and travelers! Have you always wanted to see the world? Got a long list of your dream destinations? I’d like to have a peek! To start the ball rolling, I thought I’d begin by sharing my list with you. So here are the places on earth that I’d like to visit and why.  (Note: Part I or V)

Europe

1. Norway

Why: I’ve never seen any other country with such a dramatic landscape (waterfalls, fjords, glaciers), seascape (lakes and beaches), and skyscape (Northern Lights and a preview of the Arctic territory).

2. Switzerland

Why: Blame Johanna Spyri for bringing us Heidi’s adventures while living in the snow-capped mountains with his grandpa.

3. Austria

Why: Pretty towns and plenty of opportunities to practice skiing. A beginner has to start somewhere.
