  • Adventure is worthwhile. –Aesop

To travel the world is a dream many aspire to achieve. With the modern age of airlines, flight has made seeing far-flung countries a closer reality for many. Either to get away from it all for a short while or as a means to seek better opportunities. We daydream of reaching areas that excite our senses from the tales we hear. Here are a few places just waiting to be explored.

Singapore

Let’s start with somewhere close to home. Just nearly four hours away by flight, Singapore is one of the top premier destinations in Southeast Asia. Acting as a melting pot for several different cultures, you’re bound to find a unique experience in any of its districts.

Sydney, Australia

Fancy a trip down under? Australia is an exciting place filled with natural beauties and the alluring draw of its vast outback settings. Learn about the rich history of the Indigenous hunter-gatherers and find exciting trails and nature paths to explore on your own. Plus, there are several unique animals that stand out and are worth seeing in the country’s wildlife sanctuaries.

Paris, France

What about a romantic getaway to the City of Love? One look at the stunning Eiffel Tower is sure to create lifelong memories with a loved one. Or perhaps a day of admiring the arts over by The Louvre to enrich one’s soul?

London, UK

The clock is ticking, or perhaps that’s just Big Ben beckoning you over to visit London. Feel like royalty as you walk around Buckingham Palace or feel smooth like James Bond as you roam around London’s streets. Fancy yourself a serving of fresh fish and chips? Just drop by the nearest pub and wash it down with a generous pint of beer.

New York City, US

Finally, why not end it with a bang with the city that never sleeps? New York City, as we all know it, is the place where dreams are made. With every block, you’re likely to encounter a hole-in-the-wall establishment or a speakeasy of sorts where locals gather. Perhaps enjoy a slice of N.Y.’s finest pizza from the many restaurants gracing its streets. Or just take a moment to marvel at the view of the Statue of Liberty after taking a morning stroll down Central Park. As the classy Sinatra once put it, “If you can make it there, you’ll make it anywhere.”
