Ah traveling. The one thing almost everybody dreams of. Having been in New York, Paris and Morocco (All 3 feature on the list) I can easily say that it was an experience I won’t ever forget, and neither should you.
From the colours in Morocco, to the concrete jungle of New York, to the romantic and beautiful Paris, every single place in the world is unique. Traveling lifts the spirit and opens your eyes to explore something unbelievable which stretches past the edge of your imagination. You won’t believe what you can discover out there. Living in South Africa, which is extremely diverse (come visit!), I can drive 100km in any direction and experience something most people never ever think exist. To me that is the joy of traveling, and to help you being your traveling “career” I have got a informative list from Awcbee, “Ten Places You Must Visit Before You Die”
Here’s the top 2 places to visit before you die:
2) Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro
With the nickname “The Marvelous City,” there’s little doubt why Rio de Janeiro makes the list! Clear, turquoise water, white, sandy beaches and a great tourist friendly atmosphere will never make you want to leave. Check out Ipanema Beach for great surfing and even better sunsets!
Be sure to plan your trip to coincide with Carnival to experience Rio at its best. With the world’s largest Carnival celebrations you’ll find great food, spectacular samba music and the marvelous spirit of Rio! Put some time aside to visit Corcovado, the mountain gracefully looking over the city; a 38-meter statue of Jesus overlooks the entire city and it is prominently featured, no matter where you are!
1) Tokyo, Japan
At the top of the list, we find, mega-metropolis Tokyo. With a population of about 12 million people, the “Eastern Capital” is really a city that never sleeps. You have to be an early riser to catch the action at the world’s largest wholesale fish market; activity in the market all but ceases by 11 a.m.. Be sure to catch the auction starting at 5 a.m., which is perfect for jet-lagged tourists.
Later on in the day, visit the Imperial Palace, home of the Emperor and his family, for a glimpse of lush gardens and beautiful buildings. Don’t miss Mount Fuji. Although not in Tokyo, it can be seen on a clear day! Take some extra time to visit the extraordinary sight If you’re brave, take a hike and join the few who have conquered the mountain!
I’m encouraging you to check out the entire list from the link above, you won’t regret it!
