Lately, I have been obsessed with the idea of travel. With my first taste of moving to a new place (Florida) and living on my own, the idea has been growing deeper and deeper inside of me. I read plenty of books and twice as many blogs and Pinterest articles, and all of these have something in common: a new destination to add. A friend from high school recently traveled to Europe over her winter break and it just added fuel to the fire. So without further ado here is my top 10 list of my next adventures:
1. Croatia
The places to see:
Korcula, birthplace of Marco Polo, the island is gorgeous
Plitvice National Park
Hvar, a popular tourist island, known for its old 13th century structure and culture
Dubrovnik, said to be THE spot to visit in Croatia, can’t argue with those who have been there, done that! Also, after Google searching it, it is one of the prime spots for filming in Game of Thrones. Kings Landing is filmed and set in Dubrovnik. Sold.

I am more than ready to begin to travel. Although it takes a ton of research and money, I can’t help to think that this will be a huge part of my future. Pinterest helps fuel this love and I wanted to post a few links to the page for future reference of when I check this out later on.
