Beautiful Coastal Areas I wish to Visit

Summer time is vacation time! This is the best time of the year to spend a holiday. No need to wear thick winter jackets, no winter shoes and boots and most of all no freezing cold weather. Did you already book your summer vacation? Yes, I do but sad to say not in any beach somewhere in Europe. I wish, I am lying and relaxing now in one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Here are some of the beautiful coastal areas I wish to visit in the future.

Estonia

Spending a coastal holiday in Estonia can be a beautiful experience. Since it is a country that has over 1500 islands, for sure you can find a lot of beautiful beaches there. You might want to relax for a spa break in its biggest island, Saaremaa and have a sightseeing in its well-restored medieval castle in its only city, Kuressaare. You can also enjoy some outdoor activities like hiking, cycling and sailing. Visiting Estonia's summer capital, Parnu can be a highlight for your holiday. How about watching the film festivals in Tallinn? I believed visiting Estonia with all its charm and beauty is well-worth it.

Just a reminder, as guests and visitors in a certain place, we must also think and consider about responsible tourism. In this way, we will learn to respect the culture and tradition of a certain country. Lastly, we will also learn to take care of our environment especially our Mother Nature.

Boracay

It is an irony for me visiting other places in the world but still was not able to visit one of the beautiful beaches in my home country. Boracay is an island in the Philippines. It is voted by the BMW Tropical Beach Handbook one of the best beaches in the world in 1990. It is also the world's number one tropical beach in 1996 by British publication TV Quick. Imagine how beautiful it is!

My three sisters and my brother had the chance to visit it again last March 2011. I envied them and how I wished that I was there too!

Mauritius

Do you know where to find Mauritius in the map? It is a small tropical island located in the Indian Ocean, southeast of the Seychelles and east of Madagascar. This is a perfect place to visit because of its nice tropical weather all year round. You can find here white sandy beaches and the warm, turquoise water in Indian Ocean is simply great for swimming. Accommodation in Mauritius varies from wonderful villas to apartments, hotels and private rentals. There are also a lot of activities to do while spending your holiday in Mauritius. How would you like to tour around with quad bikes or maybe go deep sea fishing? Hiking and trekking can also be an awesome experience especially when seeing the breathtaking views of the mountains, forests and rivers.

Places To Visit During My Spring Vacation 2011

It is always my dream to travel around the world. That is also one of the reasons why this travel site is created. I wish to travel in the Baltic Region of Europe, the coastal areas in Mediterranean Sea covering 21 countries, 4 regions and and 3 territories and some other interesting countries in this planet.

I will be having a short spring vacation starting April 15. I found a cheap holiday package last February and immediately booked the trip. Included in that cheap trip are breakfast, dinner, 3-star hotel accommodation, trips to different places and the transportation.

Here are some of the places that we will be visiting:

Cinque Terre in Italy

It is a very popular tourist destination. The Cinque Terre is a rugged portion of coast on the Italian Riviera. It is called as "The Five Lands" and composed of five villages, the Vernazza, Corniglia, Monterosso al Mare, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. It is included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Site.

I am quite excited to see the beautiful landscape of Cinque Terre. I hope we will have the chance to do some coastline hiking trails there.

Monte Carlo, Monaco

Don't you know that Monaco is the second smallest independent state in the world after the Vatican? Also be informed that Monte Carlo is not the capital of Monaco but it is a government district.

Monte Carlo is very famous for its casino and its prominence. Some of the sites to visit include the Monaco-Ville, Monaco Cathedral,the Prince's Palace, La Condamine, the Grimaldi Forum and many more. I will see if I can try my luck in Grand Casino. For sure, my friends will!
Cannes, France

This place is included in my travel wishlist. It is one of the best cities of the French Riviera and one of the best social hubs in Europe. It is very famous for its Cannes Film Festival which is held every year. Some of the must-see include the Old Town,Palais des Festivals, La Croisette, the Port, Covered Market and a lot more.

This place is also famous for its luxury boutiques and designer fashion. Don't forget your credit cards when visiting this beautiful place.

Other place that we will also be visiting are Nice, Blumenriviera, San Remo and Menton. I am quite excited for this trip. For sure, I will share here some images when I am back. Time for me to pack my luggage.
