10 places I want to go before I die

        I have big dream of travelling. If I were a millionaire, I would rather spend half of it travelling rather than buying stuff. Ouh yes, I love backpacking travelling, living in a moderate hotel and a street-walking trip rather than the luxurious tour. I love street walking since it allows me to blend it with the environment and makes me feels like one of the people there. Besides, with the tiredness and sweat, it is really satisfying, so much. Much more adventurous with me have to figure out the map by myself, asking people surrounding and being in the lost state is actually much interesting and expensive experience rather than sitting in the bus trip listening to the tourist. Well if I'm already old and unable to walk so much, then only I'll go for group travelling.



          It may be possible for some rich people to go to those fantastic places now, but never me. Completely impossible. Thus, I shall start to build my dreams now so that once I possible, I'll just skip the building part and start to the top of the mountain. So, lets start :)

10. Carribean Island
 
      This island might sound familiar especially regarding with the Pirates of the Carribean. I chose this island never about the movie, but yet about the beach, and the colourful woody houses in the island itself.



The colourful woody hut is the main attraction of this island. Its cute tho. 


9. Las Vegas, Nevada USA

          I want to be here is because I want to feel the nightlife excitation here. Plus, with jazz and blues clubs with awesome performance from many talented artists. Oh yes, saxophone beats too. The nightlife here is something that you cant find on any other places (as what I heard from movies, webs and people). 

Dont you think the nightlife here is so catchy? I love neon lights.


Ouh M&M world! Sugar rush!

8. Istanbul, Turkey

          Istanbul, Turkey is the main attraction especially for the Islamic or Mediterranean architecture. The art is so beautiful with the floral design that can be seen on the Blue Mosque walls. The bazaar the is also lovely and unique. I am bazaar lover cause I can see the daily life of people over there. It such a colourful area and busy too. 


The fine art.

The lights are so stunning.

          How I wish I could see all the beautiful colourful lights.

7. Positano, Italy

          Hey! I wanna go to Italy!
          Positano is a small village on the hills surrounded by the blue sea ocean. I was amazed by its cute houses facing the sea that is so medieval looks. It might look so crowded but to me its fantastic architecture on the slope of the hills. The streets are vintage and romantic. 


Look at these medieval houses. Arent they cute enough?
The vintage laneway.
          
6. Prague, Czech Republic 

          Do you know that Prague is one of the place with wonderful architecture? It is a city of culture and arts. The castles are with classic designs which become the main attraction of Prague. At night, the lights are all over the castles and bridges, romantic.


Colouful buildings.

The Castle. Remember Beauty and the Beast? ;)

5. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

         Brazil? Huh why Brazil? Hey let it be. The reason why I wanna go Brazil is, for the statue of Christ, and the carnival samba parade. In 2007. the statue of Christ was once named as one of the seven wonders of the world. It is located in Corcovado Mountain and also one of the tallest statue in the world. The statue is facing the whole Rio de Jenairo city which makes it as the main attraction for people to come here. It also symbolizes that the city is completely protected by the Jesus.


        Rio de Janeiro is popular with its carnival samba parade or also known as Brazillian carnival. It is a festival being held 46 days before Easter. According to Wikipedia, Rio de Janeiro's carnival alone drew 4.9 million people in 2011 with 400,000 being foreigners. Thus, it is a must go annual event!

The parade. The lights are so stunning.

One of the samba girl. Nice feathers!


          Also, not forget the streets. Yes, I love streets.


If you remember, Hulk 2 was shoots here. And the faces are so fantastic, with the cute houses. 

4. Rome, Italy

         Who doesnt want to go Rome? One of the important city in the world with a great history. As everyone knows, Rome is top with its fine art of statue and the Colosseum. Beside, Rome has a great street view. The streets are so lovely and vintage, of course. 

The Gladiators.


Ouh a very peaceful street. 

Can they have this cute street concept here in Malaysia?

3. Paris, France 

         Yes, I love romance. Paris will be the choice of my future honeymoon place (awwwww xD). As equal to other European countries, I would like to go to Paris because of its beautiful antique amazing architecture with a flood of lights at night, the Eiffel tower as the main attraction of Paris, and also the Notre Dame de Paris, a cathedral with a very nice design and art with various colours. It reminds me of my childhood memories, the hunchback of the Notre Dame.  

Love landmark, hmm?


The lights are amazing. I could die of super amazement. 

The Notre Dame Cathedral 

Also known as the gothic cathedral.


Notre Dame creatures.

Completely remind me of this classical Disney story


2. Venice, Italy 
         The tourist movie made me dying to go here. Very vintage and classical match with my taste, I'm a vintage person by the way. Sitting in the gondola in the evening touring all over the Venice, is my dream. The architecture is superior and incomparable with others.

The Grand Canal
Amazing spot for a lunch


OMG  what a perfect night with a great performance besides the canal! Such a paradise!

1. Santorini, Greece
   
           The first place that I'm dying to go is Santorini, Greece. It is an island at the southern Aegean Sea. The houses are cubical and white. The white colour is came from the volcanic ashes and the white are fantastic! My desire towards going to this place is extremely huge and it is my number one dream in travelling. This place are full with streets that are vintage and classical. I am totally a street person and this place suit me. The house are with verandas that are my interest, veranda is my favorite part of house architecture. Besides, its facing the ocean and sunset can be viewed directly from the veranda. Oh how I wish I could stay here. 

Amazing Santorini! 


See at the verandas, it is completely amazing, and so cute. Im dying of amazement!

Romantic <3
The wide blue ocean is fascinating. I can sit and stare for the whole day  the God's beautiful creation.


I want to have a dinner here. Perfect for a candle light dinner ;)

          I want to go here so badly. I will work very very hard in order to fulfill my super dreams. Santorini is my aim, followed by others. I might use my money to buy materials and other super expensive stuff like shopping for clothes and make ups. But, I prefer to travel, because experience is something that you cant exchange with money, and people cant steal or imitate your experience. Once you travel, you can have a lot of perceptions towards other people culture. Widen up your mind, and look at the same thing but in the different angles. Also to mention, the food. People may eat chicken as en example, but the chicken may be eaten in different ways and styles with different ingredients and flavor. Try to think and look at other things in different ways.

         Travelling is not about luxurious trip like you going to London and snap a picture of you holding a dozen of shopping bags and brag and proud of you spending a lot of money shopping something expensive and branded that is unavailable in your country. However, travelling is an activity in which you can get to look at the panorama, weather, culture, lifestyle, food variety, and be a part of the citizens. Blend in with the environment will makes you temporarily become one of the people and feel grateful of the existence of different type of people and culture in this world.

       Therefore, one day I would like to be one of the good backpacking traveler with maps on my pocket, tracking the pathway to get into the destination. Streets walking is a must, and get to know with the locals for more interesting facts. Because, watching Samantha Brown in Passport to Europe is not enough. 

        Have a nice day everyone! :)
