Some Of My Favorite Places
Èze France
Èze is a beautiful seaside village known for it's beauty and charm in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of Southeastern France. It has been dubbed a village-musée, or "museum village", since a small number of residents of local origin live here. Èze is located on the French Riviera, 4.5 km to the west of Monaco and 8.5 km to the northeast of Nice.
If you are able to make it, I highly suggest it! The views are absolutely breathtaking!
Kotor Montenegro
Kotor is a fortified town located in the Bay of Kotor on Montenegro’s Adriatic coast. It was founded in 5th century BC and is historically known as Cattaro. The medieval old town has multiple Romanesque churches, including Kotor Cathedral. It's also home to the Maritime Museum, where you can learn about local seafaring history. One of the local islands, Sveti Đorđe, features a centuries-old church.
The mountains surrounding the bay are amazing and unlike anything I have ever seen before. They almost don't look real, like they are out of a princess movie. Kotor has a mix of history and beauty - a great destination for everyone to enjoy!
Paris France
Paris is France's capitol and largest city. It is a global center for art, fashion, gastronomy and culture. The 19th-century cityscape is home to many crisscrossed wide boulevards and the River Seine. Paris has many landmarks including the Eiffel Tower, the Notre-Dame cathedral, The Louvre, Sacré-Cœur, Jardin du Luxembourg, Château de Versailles, Moulin Rouge, Champs-Élysées, Arc de Triomphe, and more.
There is something for everyone in Paris. Shopping, history, architecture, night life, etc.
Venice Italy
Venice (also known as "The Floating City") is the capitol of Italy's Veneto region and is built on more than 100 small islands. Venice does not have roads, it only has canals lined with homes, palaces, and . Piazza San Marco - the central square - is home to St. Mark's Basilica. Venice also has the famous Pointe di Rialto bridge.
Don't forget a gondola ride through the canals while you're there! It's an awesome experience and you get to see the beautiful architecture. And if you're a fan of shopping, Venice is known for it's leather goods.
Dublin Ireland
Dublin, Ireland's capitol, is located on Ireland's east coast on the River Liffey. It is home to Dublin Castle, St Patrick's Cathedral, St Stephen's Green, and Dublin Zoo. You can explore Irish heritage and culture at The National Museum of Ireland.
You can get full day tours from Dublin to The Cliffs of Moher - which I highly suggest! And don't forget to try out some Guinness if you can!
Panama Canal
The Panama Canal is a manmade 82 kilometer waterway that cuts across the Isthmus of Panama that connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. It is an essential trade route.
Cartagena, Columbia
Cartagena is the capitol of the Bolivar department, and the second largest city in Columbia. It is a port city on the Caribbean coast with a tropical climate. The walled Old Town, founded in the 16th century by the sea, has colorful colonial buildings and cobblestone streets. You can reach the following by boat: Isla de Baru, which had palm trees and white sand beaches, and the Islas del Rosario which is known for their coral reefs.
If you are able to, I definitely suggest going to the Port Oasis Eco Park near the cruise port! We were not expecting it and it was absolutely beautiful.
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Cabo San Lucas - or Cabo - is a resort city on Mexico's Baja peninsula, known for it's beaches, nightlife, and water activities. Cabo is rated as one of Mexico's top tourist destinations.
If you have time when you visit Cabo and are looking to do a little shopping, please visit The Glass Factory! They recycle glass bottles from restaurants in the area and make blown glass items with it. It was an awesome spot to tour on our visit to Cabo!
