Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Completely agree on these places! Stunning locations. New Orleans (for it's vibrance) and Isle of Skye (for its serene vibe) are already on my existing list of 'places to visit' and I fully intend on going at some point in the near future.

Okinawa island of Japan is so fantastic the sand over there is naturally shaped as stars.... They even gift them to us a remainder of that place or simply as a gift for your friends..!

Looking at these photos really want to travel!

Beautiful photos. This earth of ours is so amazing!

Rumbur valley of Pakistan is more beautiful then it actually looks in the picture! There are so many more....

Veliko Turnovo, Bulgaria! It's a magical piece of history!

Its spelled Colombia, not Columbia

I love to trouble. How nice if I can travel for three months. But since we don't have summer break, it's quite inconvenient

Travel*

Reykjavik, Iceland, yes yes and yes you should totally go there! And all these places look beautiful and sound exciting
