Since I was younger, I have wanted to travel the world and see all of the breathtaking places that the world has to offer. This is known as "wanderlust". Recently, this dream has grown and I've found myself realizing that if I had the money I would take some time off from school to just see the world. Unfortunately, it really is not an option for me right now, but that will not stop me from looking at all the places I want to visit, so here five of the many places I want to see in my life that you should too.

1. New York City at Christmas Time

As the city that apparently never sleeps, New York City has so much to offer. Go to a taping of the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, finally see Wicked on Broadway, go ice skating and see the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center, and walk through Times Square.

2. Australia

For anyone with a love for animals, Australia is the place for you. Go to Kakadu National Park and Blue Mountain National Park and see the Great Barrier Reef (before it dies).

3. Canada

Canada is home to so much natural beauty you can not find everywhere in the world. Go to the Montreal Botanical Garden, Banff National Park, and Vancouver Aquarium and see the polar bears in Churchill, the Northern Lights, and the Niagra Falls.

4. Ireland

Full of so much culture and a rich history, Ireland has so much to see. Go to The Cliffs of Mohar, Killarney National Park, and Dublin Zoo. Walk on Grafton Street and see the Aran Islands, the Ring of Kerry, St. Stephens Green, The Rock of Cashel, and Blarney Castle

5. London

London has something for everyone. Young or old, rich or poor. See the London Eye, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Tower of London, the view from the Shard and go to the SEALIFE London Aquarium, Madame Toussauds, and the ZSL London Zoo.

Traveling, I think, is one of the best things you can do in this life and I hope that one day I will get to see all the places I want to and I hope you do to.
