…Places I Want to Visit

  1. Santorini, Greece – I hear it looks just like the photos. I recently learned that Santorini is extremely crowded and the restaurants cater to tourist palates (big thumbs down!). Friend said she liked Milos much better.
  2. Grand Canyon – I love road trips and have traveled through or lived in most of the 50 states, and I have even flown over it several times, but I still have yet to visit this national wonder.
  3. Vietnam – In grad school, I studied abroad in Bangkok for 8 weeks. Vietnam was just a short trip from there, but there was so much to see in Thailand, Vietnam would have to wait!
  4. South Korea – This is my motherland. There is a saying that as we, Koreans, get older we begin miss our country of our birth. I wasn’t actually born there, but I do feel a greater tug as I get older.
  5. Tuscan Countryside, Italy – I know, so cliche. In college, I backpacked across Europe and fell in love with Italy. I loved everything about it—the landscape, the people (and their zest for lift!), the culture, and of course, the food. The only thing I didn’t like was the lack of transparency and consistency when it came to currency exchange.
