Day 8: A place you've traveled to

Traveling is one of my favorite things. Sometimes I wish I could just be a nomad, drop everything, and travel for a living. I have been to so many places that I love and want to visit again, however there are also so many other places that I never been but wish to go!
I have traveled all over the United States. New York City, and really New England in general is so much fun. I don't think I can ever get enough of visiting NYC. And then of course I love the beach. I am luckily to make it to Florida at least once a year. Even with all my traveling I have never made it to California. I hope this will be remedied in the near future!
Although I enjoy traveling throughout this country nothing compares to traveling abroad! My first trip outside of the United States was to Russia. Since then I have visited England, Italy, Mexico (several times), Canada (several times), Barbados, and Aruba.

I love Europe. I love the culture, the buildings, and the history.
This is obviously the Coliseum in Rome. I loved absolutely everything in Italy...however, seeing this in person simply blew my mind. So much history and so many stories happened in this place. I loved getting off of the subway, stepping outside, and seeing this directly in front of me! I also took the tour and got to go inside, which was amazing.

This is Windsor Castle in England. I not only loved touring this place but also the trip there. There is so much beauty to see and it never really does it justice until you have been there in person. I also saw my first show on this trip...Les Miserables...so good!

Although this is not a picture I took personally, I just
love it! This is of Florence, Italy. I only spent a day here and hope to visit again one day. The museums, food, and market were wonderful. 

As I said earlier I am also a huge fan of the beach. There are not many things more relaxing than the beach, the sun, and a good book. Luckily beaches are little more affordable to visit regurally, as opposed to Europe.
This is Baby Beach. Coy and I went to Aruba on
 our honeymoon. This beach sits on the northern part of the island and is so clear, calm, and peaceful. One of the most beautiful beaches I have ever laid my eyes on!

 This is from my resort in Cabo, Mexico. I love going to Mexico, and actually have another trip planned there in less than two weeks. Like I said before, there is not much better than this setting!

This is also from Cabo. Last time I was there I did a day long snorkling trip. We also went by this...the famous Arch of Cabo. Although it is not something I would want to sit and stare at all day, it so unique!

This was taken on our honeymoon. This is called the Natural Pool. It is surrounded on all sides, except for one by the ocean. The waves crash over, but when they are not it is peaceful, clear, and beautiful. We thought we would be adventurous and rent our own jeep to get down to this pool. Not the best idea, because we almost died several times on the several hour drive to this place. But once we made it was totally worth it. Next time though, I think we will opt for the guided tour!
