Top 5 Countries I Would Like to Visit

I am a huge fan of traveling. I have been traveling ever since I was little with my family’s southern gospel group.

We have sung in many different states such as Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Arkansas, and even got to sing on a cruise ship to Mexico when I was 5.

I also love to go on vacations with family and friends, so travel has become very important to me.

There are so many other countries I want to visit but here is just my top 5:

1) Australia

I have done so much research on Australia that I have so many places I want to visit.

The National Parks look stunning, the cities are full of rich culture, amazing food, shopping, and beautiful beaches. I have always loved the beach and in Australia they have some of the best beaches in the world.

I have always had a fascination with the country and the culture and what sparked it was when I was little. I was a huge fan of The Wiggles if you know who that is, which you probably do.

There is an episode where they meet up with Steve Irwin and they go to the Australia Zoo and since then I have always wanted to travel there.

I’m also a huge coffee person and all I hear about is how good the coffee is in Australia, so I have high hopes for it.

I bought a national geographic book that came with a giant map that I hope to plan out my future trip. It will probably be one of the longest trips I will ever take.

2) South Korea

I became a fan of K-pop music since 2017 but I didn’t really know the artists as people I just really enjoyed the music, then quarantine happened. One thing led to another, and I was hooked.

Next, I got into K-dramas which made me love the culture even more. It made me really appreciate the language even more and the beautiful places they filmed these shows at.

I started to research places you could visit and found amazing architecture, beautiful art, gorgeous towns/cities, delicious looking foods and so much more.

If I ever got to go to Jeju Island, it would honestly be a dream for me it looks beautiful. I am also a huge café fan and I found out they have them everywhere, so that’s very exciting for me.

It seems like a magical place to visit and just soak in amazing culture. I have many friends who would also like to visit South Korea so maybe I will get to go with them one day.

Let’s just say, it became one of my top 5 places to visit at least once in my lifetime.

3) Israel

I was born and raised in a Christian household, and it is still a part of me today. Israel is a place I have been wanting to travel to since I was in middle school.

The idea that I could go and visit these places that I have read about in the Bible for so long was hard to wrap my head around. Even now it seems crazy.

I can walk where Jesus walked and that just makes my brain go a million directions.

I know that you can walk the steps He took when He got nailed to the cross and I’m going to be honest, I will probably cry like a baby if I get to do that.

There are so many sites to see tend I have also heard from different YouTube channel vlogs to Israel they have good food there.

My grandma had also traveled to Israel many years back and since she died when I was about 2 and a half, I felt if I went on a trip to Israel, I would feel closer to her.

Getting Baptized in the Jordan River would also be cool since my grandma was even though her wig fell off and the pastor had to run after it.

4) Japan

Japan is high on my list because as a person who watches anime and loves Nintendo, it had been a dream to go.

I grew up watching Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon and then I didn’t really watch it again until 8th grade, and it hit me like a truck.

My friend had invited to me to anime club because she didn’t want to go alone so I went with her, and I came out a HUGE anime fan ever since. I have even been able to go to two comic cons with friends.

After, I wanted to learn more about the country and its people, and I wasn’t disappointed.

I love the architecture, the history, the art, the traditional clothing, the food, and so many other things.

They have so much to do, one of my favorite things I have seen is that you can go-kart around Tokyo. I found out about this while watching a TFIL video when they traveled to Japan.

5) New Zealand

I have always been a huge fan of TV and film, and because of my dad I became a huge fan of Lord of the Rings.

I saw so many Lord of the Rings tours which would be one of the most amazing things ever for me.

They have an amazing hobbit town that I want to visit and feel like I am in the movie. The funny thing though is I think when I go, I will look like a giant compared to the house since I’m 5’7.

Road trips are also a thing that I would like to do in New Zealand as well as Australia in the future.

On a road trip you can cite see, find cool places to stop, and enjoy the nature around.

The food seems very tempting as well I just won’t drink the alcohol since I don’t drink.

I would also like to learn more about the culture there, they have a lot of culturally rich experiences for tourists which make me so happy.
