1. Mole, Haiti
You're probably asking yourself why on earth would I want to go to Haiti. Are you looking at that picture?? It's absolutely gorgeous. Haiti holds a special place in my heart and ever since going there on a mission trip two summers ago, I really want to go back. I want to go back to Mole and Mar Rouge and visit the kids in the orphanages. Creole is also such an interesting language. It's sort of a mix between French, English, and Spanish. It was really fun going to Haiti, because I had taken two years of French in high school so I could sort of understand the people. I met so many amazing kids and got to spend an entire week playing games and singing songs with them.
2. London, England
I actually would be perfectly fine visiting anywhere in the UK, but I have always wanted to go to London. Big Ben is one of my favorite pieces of architecture to draw and I would love to go see it in person. I want to ride in a double-decker bus, visit the Buckingham Palace to see my good friend Queen Elizabeth, and visit a pub (or a few pubs). I am in love with British accents, and I love their iconic red telephone booths. I also would love to visit the English countryside, I hear the air is very fresh there.
3. Dublin, Ireland
The thing I love about Ireland is the fact that it's so green. I also like that they're mostly red-headed, I like people with red hair. I've always joked that when I grow up I want to move to Ireland and become a sheep farmer. It really doesn't sound like a bad idea. I would love to go visit old castles and small Irish villages. I've also always dreamed of getting married there...
4. Portland, Oregon
I have family who lives in Portland and Silverton, Oregon. I love how there are so many trees, and the air is so fresh. I haven't been there in a while, since we don't get to visit family very often, but what I remember about it I absolutely love. I've always wanted to live in the upper west coast area because you have ocean to the west, mountains to the east, Canada to the north, and Disney Land just a few hours away. Don't even get me started on the climate... I am in love with rain. I don't need sun (as I get burnt so easily) but I will always love the cloudy and overcast days. The reason I love Portland is because it's such a cultured and art centered place that I really feel like I could start an art career there.
5. Barcelona, Spain
Don't judge me, but the first time that I decided I wanted to go to Spain was when I watched the Cheetah Girls movie. I want to go see the Spanish style architecture with their unique designs and all of the different colors. From what I've seen, Spain is a place full of life. I want to eat food and learn how to salsa dance with a tall, dark, and handsome Spaniard (joking) (sort of).
6. New York City, New York
I want to go to Times Square and be in the middle of all the bustle and people. I want to ride in a taxi and go to a multistory Macy's. I want to spend Christmas in New York, with the snow and giant Christmas tree in Times Square. I want to go ice-skating in Central Park. I could never live in a big city, because I do like my peace and quiet, but I would really enjoy visiting.
7. Japan
I'm not entirely sure where in Japan I would like to go, but I just know that I want to go. I've always been inspired by Japanese art and architecture. My absolute favorite thing about Japan are the cherry blossoms. This is one of the places where I really just want to go be immersed in their culture and to learn their ways of life. This picture was taken at Mount Fuji, so I probably would visit there eventually.
8. Sydney, Australia
I think that I would be happy going to just about anywhere in Australia (except wherever there are venomous snakes and large spiders). Swimming in the Great Barrier Reef would be an amazing experience, as would visiting a large city like Sydney. The landscapes are gorgeous, and I really enjoy Australian accents.
9. Fairbanks, Alaska
I'm not exactly sure why I love cold climates so much, but I think staying in a lodge in the Alaskan mountains and being able to kayak on a lake like that would be amazing. I'm not much of an outdoor person, but I think I could definitely handle a trip with a view like that.
10. Lofoten Islands, Norway
Last, but most certainly not least, I would someday like to travel to Norway. My ancestors from my dad's side of the family come from a long line of Norwegians. I think the landscapes are beautiful, and the climate seems to be exactly what I like. Ever since I was a kid (when I watched the Disney movie Brother Bear), I've always wanted to see the Northern Lights in person. The Oslo Opera House, home to the Norwegian Opera and Ballet, is another place that is definitely on my list to visit. If I could live anywhere outside of the United States I would probably choose to live in Norway. The towns and their architecture are beautiful, and the landscapes are painting worthy.
