Bora Bora, Tahiti

        Although I have never been to Bora Bora, it looks like one on the most beautiful places in the world. Not often are white sand beaches, crystal clear blue water, palm trees, and a relaxing/quiet environment found in such tropical place.

        Many social attractions such as jet skiing, boating during the gorgeous sunsets, island tours, shark feeding, and snorkeling are offered in Bora Bora.

        Bora Bora also includes unique bungalows located on the surface of the lagoon. Often times the flooring has small surfaces where you are able to watch the tropical fish swim underneath. The bungalows feature a balcony, view of the sunset, breakfast delivered by canoe, and a vision of the clear sky and water. This is a link to the Four Seasons Resort. Four Seasons

      The culture of the French Polynesia is well displayed on the island tours. The island can be explored either on a guided tour, or by simply driving around the island on your own. The interior can be seen on tours like the nature guide, safari guide, or while horseback riding. 

        Snorkeling and diving is one of Bora Bora's most exciting experiences. Since the water is so clear, seeing the marine life is not a problem. Gigantic manta rays, variations of brightly colored fish, and coral are only a few things you will see. 

       Bora Bora, Tahiti is one of the most exotic vacation places in the world and has so many cool experiences to offer!

Rome, Italy

        Italy in general has always been the place I dream of visiting. Rome especially has some of the most famous monuments in the world, and attracts people from all different places. When visiting Rome, it is said that seeing the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Vatican, and the Pantheon are just a few must see places.

        The Trevi Fountain symbolizes the power of nature and to many is considered lucky. Throwing a coin over your shoulder, and into the fountain supposedly means you will eventually visit Rome again. The Colosseum is a great taste of the Middle Ages, and is a wonderful way to experience some of Rome's history. The Vatican tour allows you will see rooms of art, cultural and religious aspects. The Pantheon was the first temple built for the people of Rome, clearly showing Roman culture. Rome is also home to one of the most expensive shopping streets in the world, Villa Vento. Here is a link to an interactive map of Rome. Map of Rome

        While dining in Rome, Italian favorites are located on every corner. Many restaurants provide outdoor dining and have great views. Meat, red sauces, pizza, and pastas are a large part of the cuisine. The pasta courses, as well as many of the desserts are often the highlight of the menu. Experiencing the food of Rome is often very convenient for tourists. 


        The capital of Italy sure has a lot to say for it self. Italian culture and history are abundant in Rome, and seem to make for a beautiful experience at the same time. Spending time in some of the oldest parts of the world would definitely make for a great trip!
