Best Places to visit before I die!

Almost everyone has a list of places they have dreamed of visiting one day. I for one, have a list of places I want to visit before I die. To be honest I struggled to make this list because there are so many beautiful countries in the world. If I am to list all the countries that I want to go to, then this blog will be super long. So, I decided to list only the places I want to visit before I turn 50. The list below is in alphabetical order:

Iceland

Ever since I signed up on Instagram, I have always followed people who post photos and reels about this country. Cold as it may sound, it is not always icy in Iceland. Like any other European country, it also has a summer season. Its summer is short, but it is enough time to enjoy the scenic views of massive glaciers, hot springs, lava fields & thrilling landscapes with volcanoes. It will cost a little bit more to visit this country during summertime, but I am sure it will be so worth it.

It is Full of historical castles, beautiful countryside, breathtaking hills, and a dramatic coastline. Another PLUS why this country made it to my list, is that WILD CAMPING is not illegal here. The new ruling of making wild camping illegal in Dartmoor made Scotland the remaining country in the UK that allows people to roam and enjoy sleeping under the stars. You probably already know what my itinerary will be. I will be wild camping from Montrose hike across to Plockton. How did I come up with this route?

Asia’s Pearl of the Orient. My motherland! It is one of the most exotic countries for tourist destinations in the Southeast Asian region. The Philippine archipelago consists of around 7,640 islands. It is surrounded by many astonishing beaches, tropical forests, volcanoes, and diving spots. It is sad to say as a citizen of this country I am not able to see its beauty. It was very unfortunate that I must work in another country for me to afford to travel around my homeland.

Most tourists will opt to go to popular places like Boracay, although I want to go to Boracay someday, it is not at the top of my list. Here are the top places I will visit in the Philippines.

Is your favourite place on my list? Some or maybe all the places listed here are also on your list. Probably the difference amongst bucket lists is the reason why we want to go there in the first place. It does not matter what your reason is, what matter most is that you pursue your dream. Like I always say, we only live once, so LIVE YOUR LIFE AND YOU LIVE IT NOW! Follow your dreams so travel and live.
