Priceless Places

I am obsessed with travel, there are so many places that I hope to visit during my lifetime. Heres some of the most beautiful and extraordinary destinations in the world!

#1 Maldives:

Picture this, a private villa stands over clear, crystal blue water... Ending your days with orange sunsets that make you hungry for local citrus juice. Only the best gourmet room service and a masseuse are on call to avoid any unnecessary trips from your porch and the only thing to make you want to leave is the breathtaking coral reef and underwater creatures that demand a scuba session for a proper introduction. 

Could you imagine? A beautiful villa to yourself, watching the sun rise and set while surrounded by ocean water and aquatic life.  This is only one, of many breath taking destinations in the world.

#2: Cinque Terre, Rio Maggiore, Italy

The village, dating from the early thirteenth century, is known for its historic character and its wine, produced by the town's vineyards. Riomaggiore is in the Riviedi Levante region and has shoreline on the mediterraneans golf of Genoa, with a small beach and a wharf framed by tower houses. Riomaggiore's main street is Via Colombo, where numerous restaurants, bars and shops can be found.The Via dell'Amore is a path connecting Riomaggiore to its frazione Manarola, also part of the Cinque Terre.Riomaggiore is the most southern village of the five Cinque Terre, all connected by trails. The water and mountainside have been declared national parks.

I can't imagine a more beautiful town, with all the colors and simple houses it is simply irresistible! Someday I really hope to travel around the world to see all of the most beautiful sights.

#3 Glass Beach, California 

Imagine, walking over thousands different shapes, colors, sizes of glass. In the early 20th century, Fort Bragg residents threw their household garbage over cliffs owned by the Union Lumber Company onto what is now Glass Beach, discarding glass, appliances, and even vehicles. Locals referred to it as "The Dumps." Fires were lit to reduce the size of the trash pile.The California State Water Resources Control Board and city leaders closed the area in 1967. Various cleanup programs were undertaken through the years to correct the damage. Over the next several decades the pounding waves cleaned the beach, by breaking down everything but glass and pottery and tumbling those into the small, smooth, colored pieces that cover Glass Beach.

I really hope to visit this beach, mostly because the beach is my sanctuary. I am obsessed with the sound of the waves crashing, the taste of salt water, and mostly the feeling of sand wedging itself between my toes. This beach would be absolutely amazing to visit, not only because of the glass but because it evolved from a dump sight into a tourist attraction!

#4 Glow Worm Cave, New Zealand

Just picture, thousands of twinkling lights surrounding you and making the slightest noises. Boating through a cave of priceless lights and sounds of water dripping is amazing. The glow worm, Arachnocampa luminosa, is unique to New Zealand. Thousands of these tiny creatures radiate their unmistakable luminescent light as our expert guides provide informative commentary on the Caves' historical and geological significance.  Marvel at Mother Nature's light display as you glide silently through the starry wonderland of the Glowworm Grotto. Meander underground along the Waitomo River and gaze in silence at the myriad of glow worm lights that make up the Glowworm Grotto. As you enter this galaxy of tiny living lights, you'll immediately experience a serene ambience and be fascinated and intrigued by tiny glowworms that light your way.

Fortunalty, I have had the honor of visiting these amazing caves, my mother is from New Zealand so we go back every year and  once we went on a surpass drive down to the glow worm caves. The caves were absolutely mesmerizing, the entire time I was so busy focusing on the magical lights, so I couldn't quite take any photos.

#5 Venice Italy:

This is both a cause and a consequence of depopulation: many small business, mom and pop stores, like handicraft stores, bakeries, small businesses, etc., are little by little closing down, swept away by big unpersonal chains established just for the huge tourism stream, or by stores filled with junk souvenirs or fake Venetian masks..

It is a catch 22, because due to high prices, most tourists prefer to sleep in Mestre, and even bring with them their box lunch when visiting Venice during daytime. It is undestandable, but that way Venice often ends up to get more drawbacks than benefits from tourism.

Venice, is a town that is currently drowning in its water, Venice is so unique and exiting! Hopefully, I can travel there when I'm a little older!
