Departures the series

This is the show that started my urge to travel. Watch the quick intro and maybe you too will be inspired to check this show out.

Iceland

Another fascinating place I would like to visit is Iceland. The countries name alone is a paradox of its actual state. There aren't many places in the world where tundra surrounds active volcanoes that are topped off with rich green foliage. Iceland's culture is rich with Scandinavian heritage, and still carries on many old traditions lost to modern Scandinavia.

Here is a great picture of the church of Hallgrimur in Reykjavik.

Russia

Having a European background I wouldnt mind going back to Europe. You hear all the bad things about the country but there is so much history in Russia. It would be amazing to just see the thing Ive heard and learned about in school.

St. Petersburg Cathedral, Russia's most famous and most iconic church.

The famous Russian diamond Mines. That are dug in middle of cities.

Russia Red square, where to this date has very respectful military history. Even you can view Lenins tomb here as well.

CUBA !!!

Ive been to many beach destinaions such as the Virgin Islands and Hawaii but one place Ive heard is truely beautiful is cuba. Visitors are greeted with the sounds of salsa, crystal blue water and palm tree lined white sand beaches.  Cubas world famous cigars, exotic coctails are only a hand full of the many amazing things to discover.  It's going to be only a matter of time before the  American-imposed travel and trade barriers fall. No doubt millions will travel to Cuba when flights from Miami resume. Clearly, the time to go is now. Check out the short video clip on Cuba below.

ITALY!!!

I have done quite a bit of traveling in my life but always to a tropical getaway. I Have always dreamed of taking a trip to europe and Italy is at the top of my list for places to visit. How could you go wrong with a place that has so many things to offer. Im pretty sure I would gain a serious amount of weight fromm all the amazing food and wine. Rome, Venice, Vatican city and Tuscany are all places with so much history and from what I have heard are all very unique.

Growing up my interests in travel have always revolved around going some place tropical and on a beach. It is only in recent years that I have realized that there is much more to see in the world besides the typical tourist destincations. I have become far more fascinated with the different cultures and geographical diversity from around the world. Currently my main destination would have to be brazil. It has an ecosystem that is truly one of a kind, and the people have a very unique and different way of life from that of North America. There is also a great deal of ancient ruins and a history worth exploring.

My dream Vacation:

I would have to say being a golf fanatic I would love to play a round of golf at Augusta. The course is in Georgia USA, but its the best out there. Membership is only to the elite, you can be the richest person on earth yet you would not be able to get in. Below is a little video of the course.
