3 Places I Want to Visit

 I love traveling. I think it’s so fun to learn about how people live in different parts of the world and even other places in the US. Today, I’ll be telling you all about 3 places I want to visit in the near future.

The first place I want to visit is Salzburg, Austria. This is number one on my bucket list. My grandma, who has since passed away grew up in this beautiful city and moved to America after WW2 because she fell in love with an American soldier from Kentucky. I’d like to visit the birthplace of Mozart, the Salzburg Cathedral, check out the coffee shops/boutiques and take pictures of the beautiful mountains. The picture I’ve attached below is the Bavarian mountains surrounding Salzburg.

The second place I would like to visit is Santorini, Greece. I want to sit on the beach and watch the sunset drinking wine. Using trip advisor, I figured out that I can go on a wine-tasting tour, which is right up my alley! I would also like to see all the cats TikTok has told me live there. I also want to see the Santorini volcano, I’ve never seen a volcano before. This destination spot is also very picturesque and to me, a must-visit. If I’m feeling brave, I might even snorkel in the clear waters. However, getting trapped in an underground cave, or my air running out while I’m underwater is one of my worst fears. The image I attached below is from Pinterest.

The third place I would like to visit is Los Angeles, California. I’ve already been to Las Vegas, which is my favorite city and have yet to enter the state of California at all. In Los Angeles, I’d like to see the Griffith Observatory/Park because it’s supposed to be a phenomenal view and I love hiking. I’d also like to see the Santa Monica Pier/Beach and the original farmer’s market. My brother got to play with the ONU marching band on the pier and has told me it’s a must see. While Los Angeles is a big contrast from the other places I want to visit, exploring American cities is also a fun past-time for me. The beautiful picture I’ve attached below, I found on the Fodors Travel Guide for Los Angeles.

    That is a super cool backstory for wanting to visit Salzburg! I just looked up pictures and I can see why it's so appealing. I would also like to visit Greece sometime too, my grandpa is from there.

    Salzburg is on our list for possible places to visit on our honeymoon! Santori was also on there but we removed it because it has become very expensive and touristy. I have been to LA, cannot say that I am a fan of LA. I went with my mother in law to visit the hospitals and network with doctors at the major hospital systems. I was not a fan of the prices of food or the traffic. Our breakfast of 2 salmon bagels, a coffee, and fruit bowl was $100.

My Birthday Weekend Recap

 My birthday was March 21, which was a Tuesday. The week prior was Spring break, so I decided to go to Kentucky for a weekend trip with my boyfriend! The first part of our trip was in Loretto, Kentucky. We drove about 6 hours, after waking up at 7:00 in the morning. We finally made it to our destination, where we were able to get a tour of Maker’s Mark bourbon distillery. As soon as we got there, I was in awe of how green the landscape was and how many cows and horses I saw grazing in the fields. I even saw baby lambs! Attached below is a wonderful view of the grounds. We got a full explanation of how bourbon is made. It starts with a mix of grains (corn, barley and rye). The mixture must be made up of at least 51% corn. This mixture of grains gets yeast and water added to it and then gets placed in a vat to let the yeast do its job (fermentation). Once it’s ready, it gets strained and then distilled (meaning it gets purified by heating and vaporizing). The next step varies between...

The Video Games I Played As A Child

I recently read a statistic that said 40% of the people in the world play video games. I am one of those people. As a child, I played video games with my three younger brothers. Our favorites were Mario Kart, Wii Sports, Lego Star Wars, Clash of Clans, Hay Day, and Tiny Tower. To this day, I still play Hay Day and Tiny Tower. We were extremely competitive and hated to lose. I think that video games have a lot of pros and a lot of cons. Video games allow people to connect with one another and bond over a shared interest, they can help pass the time when there’s nothing else to do and they teach determination, even when some levels are hard to beat. However, it is easy to spend way too much time playing video games and it can even become an addiction. Having a balance is very important. I used to play video games on the Wii and Xbox, but now I stick to mainly mobile games. This is because I can play them anytime or anyplace, as long as I have Wi-Fi or data. I’ve played Hay Day my entir...
