Oh to travel the world!

How amazing would that be?

And I'm daydreaming and trying to work out how to make that a reality.  Every little piece of the world I see makes me want to see and experience more.

For now I'm going to reminisce over some of my favourite places....

The beach at Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

This was the first time I'd laid eyes on such a beautiful beach, where the turquoise blue of the sea clashed with the colour of the sky....

The mirage in Cape Verde

I couldn't capture it on camera but off in the distance we could see a pool of water, even though we'd just driven that way and knew it was just dry land.  

I love Cape Verde, it's like no where I'd been or imagined.  Just an island covered in sand dunes, with this wind that doesn't stop and the history and culture of African and Portuguese.

The Maasai Mara in Kenya

I could talk for days about the beauty and wonder of Kenya.  A place that will always remain in my heart.  I am also quite sure that I will never have a better holiday than this one.

The snow in Springfield, Massachusetts

 

Staying with my friends family, it was nice to see normal standard living in the states.

Everything in Istanbul, Turkey

There's something quite special and unique about this once-capital-city and it's one of my favourite cities I've seen so far.  

You stand there looking at a map and a local will say "You don't need a map, I can show you " and they will even walk you to your destination.  Lovely beautiful city, lovely beautiful people.  Also amazing roof top bars.

The beach at Ko Lanta, Thailand

My favourite island in Thailand.... it just had such a nice vibe.  Perhaps not as pretty as Ko Muk or West Railay beach but had much more to offer.

Sailing in the British Virgin Islands

Just beautiful... truly amazing experience.

Watching my sister singing at an open mic in New York

Subject heading says it all.  Proud of my sister :)

Travelling from Chicago to Santa Monica all along Route 66

Amazing to see the changing landscape whilst travelling from east of the country to the west.  Hearing the different accents, the different words people use and seeing a nice little slice of the USA.

The painted houses in San Juan, Puerto Rico

Just one of the most interesting cities in the world I've been to, with such beautiful beaches.  My only regret with San Juan is that I didn't stay for longer, 3 nights was not long enough!
