Niagara Falls
When I get a chance to visit the north east coast, I’d love to make a stop at Niagara Falls. The falls can be accessed from both America and Canada, but my mom tells me the best view is probably from the Canadian side. The entire experience of Niagara Falls isn’t complete without taking a ride on the famous maid-of-the-mist boats!

Island of Socotra
The Island of Socotra is geographically isolated off the horn of the African continent. Although I probably won’t be able to visit this unique island in my lifetime, the otherworldly Dragon’s Blood Trees and other 700 extremely rare species of flora and fauna are endemic, found nowhere else on Earth.

Antarctic Glaciers
The coldest land mass in the world is also the least touched by human activity. Antarctica’s dramatic, white landscape, as well as the unique wildlife, make for an unforgettable journey. However, as the oceans around the continent grow warmer, Antarctica’s massive coastal glaciers are quickly melting into the sea.

Taktsang Monastery in the Kingdom of Bhutan
The Kingdom of Bhutan is the last remaining kingdom in Asia. Taktsang means “tiger’s lair” and hangs on a cliff high above the Paro valley. A trip to visit the monastery means climbing the slope on foot or by mule, something that would probably exhaust me in a couple of hours before I will ever reach the kingdom.

Dogon Village in Mali
The Dogon is an ethnic group that lives in Mali, Western Africa. The village is characterized by living structures of unusual architecture with pointed straw roofs used for storage of grains, food, clothes, jewelry and money.

Petra
Petra is the fabled rose red city and the earliest Nabataean city in south Jordan. The solid red sand stone buildings are unlike anything that I’ve have ever seen before. If I ever decide to travel to Jordan, then Petra is at the top of my priority list!

Grand Canyon in Arizona
The one mile deep Grand Canyon is a steep-sided gorge carved by the Colorado River in Arizona. The powerful sources that cause an impact on the Grand Canyon is erosion by wind and water. My mom has probably visited the Grand Canyon a handful of times already and I have yet to see the site for myself. Perhaps the next time I take a trip to Las Vegas I should plan a trip to see the canyon!

Machu Picchu
This mystical place is located at 2300 meters above sea level and is known as Peru’s great spot to divinity. People of Machu Picchu feel that they are the creators of god. This place offers you strange forces of nature that permit the individual to attain a contrary cosmic state.

The Great Wall of China
The Great Wall is one of the seven wonders of the world and the travel icon of China. It is also the only man-made object visible to the human eye from the moon! I got the chance to walk on the Great Wall in spring of 2006. It was truly a memorable experience!

Aurora Borealis
The Aurora Borealis, also known as Northern Lights, is the destination that’s highest on my list of places to see in my lifetime. Aurora is a luminous glow of the upper atmosphere which is caused by energetic particles that enter the atmosphere from above. The Aurora Borealis is at its most dazzling from December to March when nights are longest and the sky darkest.
