This is the thing i enjoy the most. Travelling the world around and seeing lovely places. I used to make a list of places which I would never like to miss out on in a lifetime. A lot of this has been modified over time as some alternatives on list were visited. These are the seven things that are on top of the list currently. They may not be Seven Wonders of the World, but certainly great places.
1. Watching Midnight sun at Helsinki…..
This is on the top of the list for a while. It would feel incredible to see the sun right up in the sky and watch the clock say it’s 12 at night. Plus they say European summers are great. And then watch the sunset at 1 in the night. Seems crazy while just thinking. Actually may sound so cool.
2. Great beaches is South-Africa.
Cape town, Durban or be it any other, they are the coolest beaches in the world. Just want to be there to watch the beautifully blue coast, and the water sport that come with it. My friends argue that Mauritius is on top of the beaches list, but since I’ve visited it, it doesn’t figure here. And surely Goa doesn’t even come close.
3. Disneyland California
This is one of the big dreams. Watching your childhood cartoon characters coming alive is so great. The Mickey mouse, Donald duck, Alladin, Pinnochio,Dalmatians and so on.One way that it is different than other amusement parks such as Essel World, Ocean Park(Hongkong), Lotte-World(Seoul) is that it has a theme. And it also showcases a parade of all Disney characters at the end of the day.
4. Niagara falls
It may not be the highest or biggest waterfall in the world, but is one of the most beautiful waterfalls on earth. Canada on one side and America on the other. What a splendid way to separate two countries!! The view at night is even more fantastic as artificial light falls on the waterfall according to themes. A hotel with a waterfall view for the night will cost a fortune but is certainly worth it.
5. Super-star Virgo
Or for that matter any three of Singapore Star-Cruises will do. What a way to take stress off for 3 days. I’ve never been in any boat for longer that 5 hrs(dat was kerela backwaters..) but this surely is fun. With friends it would be even better. After seeing Titanic for so many times, cant resist without going on a Star Cruise.
6. Sand-dune surfing near Dubai
This is again one of the things seen on discovery channel that seemed irresistible. Previously Ice-skating used to be here on this list, but after Leh and Switzerland, enough of ice, sand surfing is better. Some of my friends going on trip this year might do it in Rajasthan though. Bit jealous about it.
7. Watching Fifa World cup final newhere.
The best is for the last. This is infact a resolution made by some of us friends in school that we’ll watch the football world cup final, or atleast semifinal in 2018 wherever it is in the world and no matter who is playing and how much it costs.

hi,well nice list there..but nothing beats being your loved one!the place doesnt matter then
sorry abt that..i ment being with ur loved 1.keep blogging
I cant believe that watching the Titanic inspires you to go on a cruise.. lol thats irony
And no. 7 is just everyone's dream... but i'd settle for a champions league final (with Chelsea in the final)
@Pratiksha..
yeah right lonavala with your loved one is better than going alone to disneyland. But then going with friends is equally enjoyable.
@Brett..
Refer to first part of titanic, the hugeness and facilities onboard. Not the latter half.
And Champions league final with Chelsea in it sounds cool but it may just be an rare event. Hope it isn't that rare.
hey why not the second part? It would settle the issue:a great place, and with your loved one:)
Anyways on a serious note one thing that really comes out of your blogs is the fact that your ambitions are always in a race. Nothing better. Keep the visions alive, keep blogging!
Really cool destinations and must say good choice.
Some of my choices.

Ice Skating in swiss(chuck out sand surfing.Ice is cool).
