Your Summer Vacation Guide Part 1:
Where Should You Go?

For the Nature Fanatic

Does your perfect vacation include hiking, enjoying nature’s beauty, and taking some amazing pictures in the process? If you want to disengage from technology and just enjoy the outdoors, here are some ideal spots you may want to focus your attention on:

  Aogashima Volcano, Japan

Panjin Red Beach, China

Pamukkale, Turkey

Cliffs of Étretat, France

For the Beach Aficionado

For some of you, paradise is running freely along the shore as you take in the sea breeze, run your toes along the warm sand, and listen to the tropical trees dancing in the breeze. If this sounds like your cup of tea, consider these beaches:

Grace Bay, Turks and Caicos

Baia do Sancho, Brazil

Playa Paraiso, Cuba

Anse Lazio, Seychelles

For the History Buff

You need a story behind your vacation. What’s the use of visiting a beautiful destination if there isn’t a rich history behind it that you can spend all day delving into? If this is your thought process when figuring out where you want to go for vacation, check out these historic sites around the world that have a backstory behind every wall and floor:

Machu Picchu, Peru

Pyramids of Giza, Egypt

The Parthenon, Greece

Taj Mahal, India

For the Peace Seeker

If your idea of relaxation is escaping into isolation for a few weeks to really rediscover yourself and learn ways to derive peace from within, perhaps an interaction with monks and yogis in the world’s most breathtaking ashrams and temples is what you need. These are our recommendations:

  Angkor Wat, Cambodia

Himalayan Yog Ashram, India

Lama Temple, China

Ganges River, India

For the Fantasy Lover

You can never resist a good Disney movie, and you secretly wish you could be Disney royalty living in a castle. Although I can’t promise you guys a castle to live in, I can tell you some beautiful places that you absolutely must visit so you can finally fulfill your Disney dreams:

  Chillon Castle, Switzerland

Segovia Castle, Spain

Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany

Mont Saint-Michel, France

So we’ve completed the first step in coming up with our perfect summer vacation! I urge you to do your own research to come up with destinations you may like to visit, as this is by no means an all-inclusive list; rather, this is just a little something to get the juices flowing. Good luck figuring out your dream destination.
