Hey Guys!
After travelling to Brussels for a city break I got inspired to travel a lot more and see more of the world while I can, so I decided to create a wish list/bucket list of places I want to visit in the future. I haven't travelled to a lot of places as my family tend to go to Lanzarote every year for our vacation, so I haven't seen many other countries around the world. I hope that in the future I can visit these places and make up for what I haven't seen so far :)
Seoul, South Korea
I've wanted to visit Seoul for so many years and every year I would look at going but its so expensive to fly and its an 11 hour flight so I've kept putting it off until I know I can have the best possible experience! As I've learnt more about the city and what it has to offer I'm desperate to go on a trip. There are so many different foods to try, and different districts to visit that offer different aspects of the South Korean culture. I have a few Korean friends who have recommended different types of areas to visit and the best places to shop and explore. I want to explore Hongdae for the night life, karaoke, bars and street performers. Myeongdong for the shopping and buy some of my favourite Korean products like face sheets, lip tints, pore sheets and BB cushions ♡ Other than the really popular places for shopping and eating the palaces are number one on my list! Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace and Deoksugung Palace are three of the most popular among tourists and locals and also the Namsan Tower is among the popular destinations on my list ♡ There are so many dishes to try as well such as Samgyeopsal- Gui (Korean Pork Belly BBQ), kimchi jjigae, pork bulgogi, bibimbap and tteokbokki ❤ If I could visit Seoul it would be a dream!
Tokyo, Japan
As you can tell from the list so far I want to travel to a lot of Asia's main cities haha! I want to go to all the popular touristy places first so that I get a feel for the country and can feel comfortable not knowing the language :) Being in a city where there are people visiting from all over the world will make it easier for me to settle and explore knowing I don't need to speak the language. What attracts me the most is the food and unique cafes! I love the busy and constant city lifestyle, so visiting cities first is the best method for me personally :) In Tokyo the streets are so busy and there are different restaurants at every corner and for me I love that hectic and busy atmosphere! Some places I would love to see is the Imperial Palace, Imperial East Gardens, all the different gardens, Tsukiji Fish Market, Tokyo National Museum and definitely Shibuya!
Maui, Hawaii
I've seen so many beautiful photos and videos taken in Maui and it looks incredible! The perfect holiday destination :) I've always wanted to go to Hawaii since watching Lilo & Stitch when I was younger and been attracted to the idea of great weather and lots of beaches! Now I've seen YouTubers visit themselves and shown the beauty through their videos it has really encouraged me to visit and try out the great food, beaches, meet the locals, watch the whales and visit the Haleakala National Park. I would be living a childhood dream visiting Hawaii ❤
Hong Kong
I've wanted to go to Hong Kong for as long as I can remember and it is mostly for the food haha! But there are other reasons I want to visit :) I would spend most of the time trying out different street foods and experiencing different types of cuisines but other than that I would love to see a few temples and the Tian Tan Buddha, Temple Street Night Market, the Clock Tower, The Peak to see the great views and the Avenue of Stars! I would love to go down all the hidden streets of Hong Kong to try proper homemade and authentic Chinese food! One thing I'm going to be eating a lot of is Dim Sum haha ♡
San Francisco
San Francisco
There are many places I want to visit in America but considering how big it is and how many cities and states there are I will probably only have the opportunity to visit two or three and San Francisco is one of them! It seems like such a beautiful city! It has so much to see and offer and as its North California you can travel down to Los Angeles and pay a visit there too :) Of course the most famous sight to see is the Golden Gate Bridge but there are so many other places that I want to visit like Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, Pier 39, Aquarium of the Bay and try out their cable cart system ♡ two of my favourite YouTubers Weylie and Wah (WahlieTV) used to live in San Francisco and from watching their vlogs it did encourage me to look into visiting, so maybe in the future after uni I'll get the chance to visit!
Paris, France
I've been to Paris before back when I was in Year 8 at secondary school but I would love to visit again! When I went in year 8 we didn't stay for long and we visited the very iconic and popular places but this time I'd love to visit some more historic places such as Versailles, the Notre Dame, The Louvre, Catacombs of Paris and get a better vibe of the city! When I went with school we couldn't go off on our own and wonder round, so this time I'll be to go at my own pace and see exactly what I want to see ❤
Barcelona, Spain
I've visited Spain many times on holiday with my parents and family but we have always gone to Nerja, 45 minutes east from Malaga and never to the popular cities! So, I would love to visit Barcelona and explore the city instead of the beach towns I'm used to. Barcelona seems like such a beautiful city with great weather! Why would you not want to visit haha! I really want to see more cathedrals and churches as the ones I've seen in Nerja are beautiful ♡ and the architectural buildings look stunning, so I'm sure if there was a city tour you would get the opportunity to see a lot of great places that are well known for tourist attractions such Park Guell :)
Rome, Italy
My family have always wanted to go to Rome for a family holiday but its a bit expensive than our usual vacation to Lanzarote so its a trip we will have to save up for but there is so much we want to see and locations we want to visit! Some of our family members have been before and from the photos it looks incredible, so its definitely on the list for the future. We would definitely have to see the Colosseum, Pantheon, the Vatican Museums, Trevi Fountain and Borghese Gallery as they seem to be the top places to visit when in Rome :)
Berlin, Germany
Berlin isn't at the top of my list but there are a lot of places in Berlin I would like to visit such as the Berlin Wall Memorial, the Old Palace, the Zoological garden, German Spy Museum, the Friedrichshain park and the many historical locations around the city! I would only go for a short city break as I'd be able to visit most places within a couple of days :) If I was to go around Christmas I would definitely go to the Christmas markets and freeze in the cold temperatures haha!
St Petersburg, Russia
I've watched so many programs and movies which have been filmed around St. Petersburg and it looks incredible! I've always been interested in visiting Russia but its not a place any of my family have visited before and I wouldn't know where the best cities to go to are but I know that going to St. Petersburg wouldn't be a mistake, it has the Hermitage Museum, the Winter Palace, Saint Isaac's Cathedral and the Palace Square and the architecture of the buildings are amazing! They are all so grand ❤ There are a lot of city tours that take place where you go around most of the well known places and get to hear about Russia's history and about it being an imperial capital for 2 centuries. I probably wouldn't visit in the winter as I don't think I could cope with the extreme cold temperatures in Russia haha but any other time would be incredible!
I have a very long list of places I want to visit and hopefully I'll get to travel to them all but for now I'll settle for one!
Where do you want to travel too? Let me know in the comments below ❤
See you on Wednesday my lovelies!
