Everyone at least once in their lives fantasizes about going to somewhere new and having a great adventure like the models in all the travel magazines. College students especially do this when we have been stuck in our dorms studying our brains out. It isn't hard or unjust to bet that I myself haven't caught myself surrounded by mountains of homework and daydreaming of hiking the Andes Mountains. With this in mind I came up with a list of ten places that I would love to go if I had the means and opportunity to go.

1. Alaska

- When people think Alaska they may imagine an artic wasteland but it is so much more than that it is a grizzly bear looking out on the horizon, a whale crashing through the surface, artic rivers flowing through forests, all while the Northern lights seem to dance over head. Who wouldn't want to go here?

2. Australia

- Australia is most known for its outback bursting with kangaroos and koalas. but it is also full of botanical gardens and parks. It has beautiful beaches that are home to the Great Barrier Reef and its capital Sydney is well known for its Opera House and aquarium.

3. Costa Rica

- Lush rainforests, tropical beaches, waterfalls, and seven active volcanoes- what more could you ask for in a tropical paradise? Costa Rica has all of this and is home to some cool animals such as sloths and the migrant home of many species of humming birds. Its name literally says it all. Costa Rica truly is a rich coast that is full of life!
