Turkey, the crossroads of Europe and Asia, is how it all began. And what better place for a European and Asian little girl like me to start my travel adventures than this?

Why Greece? Because of the perfect climate, the breathtaking landscape, the high level of hospitality, the healthy and tasty cuisine, the safe environment, the unique ancient sights, the frequent air connections, and much more.
Why Scotland? There is something for everyone to fall in love with. Imperfection can be beautiful and ruined castles are. Learning to seize the moment, like the sunshine after the rain. Getting lost in a breathtaking, wild and unexplored landscape. Remember that Scotsmen are not English. You will have to learn a new language in a new land.
Why Lapland? Because of the Aurora Borealis that can be viewed on more than 200 nights a year. This one single thing is worth one thousand reasons. And because children know that Rovaniemi is home of Santa Claus and reindeer.
Why Iceland? Because of the Northern Lights and summer nights. For its natural landscape and unique wildlife. But also because of waterfalls, volcanoes, and glaciers. Furthermore, the Blue Lagoon is unmatched in the world for its incredible beauty.
Why Norway? Because of its spectacular nature: mountains, fjords, lakes, glaciers, and rocks. Tromsø is famous for the Northern lights and Svalbard for Polar bears. Furthermore, Norway is great for skiing, skating, dog sledding hiking, fishing, and cycling.
Why Japan? Japan straddles both the traditional and ultra-modern, high-tech cities versus breathless natural landscapes. Finally taste the real sushi and tempura of the fabulous Japanese cuisine. And because this is the best place to get "lost in translation".
Why the Western United States? Because this is the land of dreams. It is a true melting pot. The food, not always healthy, is surely delicious. The Western United States offers breathtaking scenic views. And because it is great to experience the American way of life.
Why Tierra del Fuego? Because it is the end of the world. It is Patagonia all in a nutshell with national parks, lakes, rivers, and immense untouched land. Even more, Ushuaia, the southernmost town on earth, is the starting point to cross to Antartica.
Why Australia? Because of its natural wonders with deserts, tropical forests, canyons, and white beaches. It is a surfers' paradise. Australia is the land of kangaroos, crocodiles, and white sharks. And because of the fascinating lifestyle of the Australian people.
