A to Z Challenge: D-Day

Hello Everyone,


Its D-day, and today class we're going to learn about Denmark. 

I want to visit Denmark because there is so much history in its land. Literary history is particularly prevalent there. A little story about the prince of Denmark's reaction to the murder of his father, you may have heard of it, Hamlet? The Little Mermaid also is thought to have taken place in Denmark, as Hans Christian Anderson, the writer/collector of the fairy tales like the Snow Queen, Thumbelina and The Emperor's New Clothes also hails from there. As an English student, I would love to see around where a literary hero lived and walked.

A to Z Challenge: Oh I do like to be beside the C-side....


Hello Everyone, 


Its time to consider C, and where I am going today for the A to Z Challenge. And the dial lands on... China. 

Now, a lot of places I want to visit are based on the fact that I know someone from there, or someone I know visited it and recommended it. This time it is the latter, and surprise surprise, it was my Dad. He goes to China for his work, and every time he comes back with all these stories about the things he did and saw, and I want to do and see these things too. 

China made it onto my list because it is a completely different culture from anything else in the world. There are so many sights to see: the Great Wall of China, the Terracotta Army, the Palaces, and of course baby pandas. Cuteness personified. All the authentic Chinese food sounds lovely too. I might just go on a ride down the Li River too. There are so many things to do, a backpacking student would be in absolute heaven, and they don't even need to leave that one country.

A to Z Challenge: B is for....

Hello Everyone, 


The second day of the A-Z Challenge has come, and I am Busy considering the Bahamas on my Blog (haha, I'm hilarious aren't I?).

The Bahamas are a cluster of Islands off the coast of Florida. There are about 30 inhabited islands, but there are 700 islands altogether. You could do an entire holiday or travelling there. A romantic getaway, spa trip, whatever you want, its gonna look gorgeous. Even if you love history and sightseeing, you can do something under those umbrellas.

It looks like Paradise to me. You can go snorkeling, deep sea diving and rock-climbing. I may not seem like it all the time, but I do love being active and trying out new activities. Although I do have one main consideration: I must be able to take pictures. I have gotten better at doing it while things are moving and having quick reactions to snap the instant reactions or things I'm doing.

Any way, one of my top places to visit would be the Bahamas, definitely for about a month or so, just to get in the perfect amount of sightseeing,outdoor activities and relaxing on the beaches of Paradise.

A-Z Challenge: A


Hello Everyone, 


Today is the first day of the A-Z Challenge 2015. I am going to be bogging for 26 days out of April's 30, with Sundays off for good behaviour. My theme this year is Places I want to Travel to (check out my the theme reveal here). 

Today's letter is A, and the country is Australia. I want to visit Australia for personal reasons. One of my oldest friends moved there about a year and a half ago, and I'm pretty keen to see him again. He lives in Adelaide (another A) in the south. Lots of pretty beaches and sun for me to relax in, along with beach-side bars too. 

I also have family elsewhere in Australia, so visiting them would be fun too. Of course there is also Sydney and all that entails to see the Opera House etc. 

Another reason to see Australia is a little island off the coast of Australia called Tasmania. One, I want to see a Tasmanian Devil. So if not in Tasmania, where else am I going to see one? Two, I want to see my Dad's old stomping ground of George Town, a tiny little town in the north of the island where he lived for a few years. It also has some pretty nice hiking trails.

So Australia is on my A-Z list to visit.
