Ever since I began college and the travel bug bit me, I had a few places that I dreamt of visiting. It wouldn't be surprising that Macchu Picchu figured first on my list. Why Macchu Picchu? Well, I learnt about Macchu Picchu in the 5th grade in school and it completely filled me with awe. I remember the first time we bought a PC at home and got an internet connection, I immediately searched for images of Macchu Picchu. Being a history buff is what got me going about Macchu Picchu. Well, it still remains on the to do list.
Varanasi, formerly known as Benaras intrigued me after reading a book in the 4th grade called "Kim" if I remember correctly. Pictures of the "ghats" and the Ganges fuelled my interest of visiting Varanasi. And yes, I made it happen and had a chance to explore Varanasi in the summer of 2012 and there was something that drew me to the place. Not the cleanest place on earth and not a place I would like live in, but there is a certain charm about the place that keeps you there longer that you planned and so it happened with me. I have fond memories of the place and the people I met, locals and travellers alike. I can never forget the Englishman Jan Kornas, Jessica the Australian and Olivier the Frenchman and of course my travel partner, my cousin Carmen from Canada. Good times with great people
The Angkor Wat! What a place! Its a place I could keep going back to. Located a few kilometers off the Cambodian town Siem Reap, scattered through the jungles of Cambodia are the beautiful, majestic temples and ruins of Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, Bantey Serei to name a few. Cambodia, will always remain close to my heart. I have the fondest memories of the place However, I shall talk about Cambodia in another post.
I have a few more dream places on my to do list, them being Morocco, Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia, Morocco and Namibia. Of course, I won't limit my travel to just these. The world is out there to be explored!.
