Mount Roraima, On the triple border between Brazil, Venezuela and Guyana.






Mt Roraima is  is the highest of the Pakaraima chain of tepui plateau in South America.  I found out about this place by stumbling upon a photo of it and only recently realised that it is where UP is set which just makes me love it even more.  It is amazing just to look at the photos so I would love to experience how it would feel to trek around the place.

The Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia.






It is safe to say that I am not a fan of Bridges and I can not swim, I don't think that that would be a problem here though with everything being so scenic and just, from what I can imagine, overwhelming.  This place is like Giethoorn, I have just wanted to be here from the second I saw a photo of it.  There is so much to see here from numerous lakes, rivers, waterfalls to wildlife and natural wonders.  I can't wait to be able to post my own photos of this amazing place.


Giethoorn, The Netherlands.

"The Venice of the Netherlands"




These photos show how charming this little village is.  It was once a carfree village with nothing but boats and canals, however now there are bike paths and the canals become quite busy due to it's attractiveness to tourists.  I loved this place since I found out about it and will definitely visit it one day.


The Perito Moreno Glacier, Lake Argentino, Argentina, South America.





These pictures speak for themselves this is both fascinating and breathtaking.

Machu Picchu, Peru, South America.


Machu Picchu in Peru is on the list of places I would like to visit because it just looks so interesting and different to anything I would ever have visited before.


The Inca Trail looks so beautiful!

Fota Wildlife Park, Co. Cork, Ireland.







Fota Wildlife Park is somewhere I have wanted to go for a while in Cork and can't wait to visit it within the next year hopefully :)


Giants Causeway, Ireland.


The Giants Causeway is a formation of basalt columns in Northern Ireland.  It has been declared a world heritage site and a national nature reserve.  I want to go here because it's so close by and it looks beautiful.
