1. Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia.

Top of my list: Salar de Uyuni is the largest salt flat in the world. 40 000 yrs ago, it was once part of a gigantic prehistoric lake but has since dried, leaving behind this desert of salt which stretches for as far as the eye can see.

Bolivian miners harvest the salt in piles, working from morning to evening.

When it rains, a perfect mirror is formed, reflecting the sky in one of nature's most beautiful paintings. There, u can also see colored lakes, flamingos, geysers, islands and rock formations.

U know what... i'm so jealous of all these travellers' photos!!!!!!

2. Patagonia

Patagonia to me, is the closest i will ever get to no man's land. It is situated at the southernmost tip of South America and often referred to as the end of the earth. The landscape is harsh with mountains and glaciers. I once read in a magazine that standing in Torres del Paine, u could well be the first person who has ever stood there.

I'm really hit by wanderlust... :(
Though there are tentative plans to make our way to South America next year, they are not firm yet. There's always that niggling thing called work that cant just be put aside. But there's something so young and free in just carrying all yr belongings on yr back and stepping on foreign soil, marvelling at the wonders of nature.


3. Iceland

For the magnificent landscapes and the whole scandinavian experience

4. Hawaii

For the volcanoes and the culture plus the fact that i can learn hula dance there. There's also no other place like Hawaii, no matter how commercialised it's become.

5. Hokkaido

I love Japan and lavender ice-cream and crab. Plus this great northern land allows us to see the famous aurora borealis without having to go to europe!

6. Croatia

Wanted to go there since i was 21. Think it's one of the most beautiful places in Europe, with its walled city, medieval charm and emerald sea.

Thats all i can think of at the moment... who knows, i might read yet another travel mag and fall in love again... but i promise myself i must see these places before i say goodbye to the world.
