“Santorini is one of the places that every inhabitant of the planet must see before they die”, “The Clackamas Print” newspaper listed Santorini in a list of ten places to see. Below find the other top destinations:
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 Jose, 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.
