Chile, Argentina

Another location that I'm dying to visit is Chile, Argentina. Aside from the city's beautiful features, unique culture, and interesting history, Chile has a lot to offer. The Andes Mountains run through the city creating tourist activities. You can hike the mountains and make excursions to different places on the mountain range. To make an extreme vacation out of a trip to Chile, you could always go skydiving! 

Chile offers different types of skydiving. I would love to be able to do this in a location so gorgeous. The city is beautiful and the scenery from the sky is breathtaking! Imagine looking down onto the colors of the city and admiring the enormous mountain range. A couple seasons ago, on the TV series "The Amazing Race", contestants had to go skydiving in Chile. Although they were scared at first, they said it was fun and really enjoyed doing it in a place like Chile. Here a few pictures of Chile and the views from skydiving.

Hamilton Island, Australia

Hamilton Island has always been one of my dream vacation spots. This is the definition of paradise. Its crystal clear water, white sand beaches, tropical weather, and beautiful scenery has drawn my attention. This is a great place to go for an unforgettable getaway. It's extreme activities include snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, surfing, and getting to hold and pet two amazing animals: koala bears and kangaroos! It is also a beautiful place to spend your days on the beach relaxing. Hamilton Island is located off the northeast coast of Australia in Queensland.

Interest

My love for travel started at a young age. I went on my first plane when I was still under the age of two. I had never had trouble flying which was a bonus. I could never wait for vacations! I loved visiting new places and seeing all the cool things each location had to offer. My first international flight was to Central America in fourth grade. Today I have been there seven times, to Europe twice, Canada multiple times, and to six Caribbean Islands. Not to mention countless trips within the US. I'm always looking up new cool locations I'd like to visit. Here you can see some of my dream vacation spots. Enjoy!
