EUROPE

Of course everyone wants to visit Europe!
All over Europe theres so much history and romance :)
My parents really want to visit Europe... but as everyone knows... ITS PRICY... When I have my airline job! I will make sure that my parents and MYSELF! go to Europe :)
I want to visit all the historical sites and ride those two story buses.
Drink wine while eating pasta, spaghetti, and pizza.
All that would make the trip perfect :)
Just when will I go? I hope soon....
I think everyone should visit Europe for the experience :)

SOUTH KOREA

One of the places that I always try to visit every year is Korea.
I love visiting Korea for couple reasons,
ONE.  I don't have to pay for hotel!... Because I have my family and friends living there :)
TWO.  Korea is so big! There is always something new to do and I always discover new things to do.
THREE. Food is CHEAP! Like no joke.... AND SO GOOD
Last year I went Korea in March 2013 for 2 weeks.  It was freezing cold!!!! I thought it would be a decent pretty weather because it was spring... I didn't feel like going out or hanging out with friends...
This year I am actually going Korea in May 2014 for a whole month! SO EXCITING!!!  I hope the weather isn't so hot because its summer.. I heard that Korea can really get humid and sticky....
A Couple of places that I really want to go is the DMZ!! and Itaewon!
Itaewon is a place I go when I miss the american ways :)
There are so much american people becasue the military base is near there... I think....
Some times when I visit Korea I get sick of the korean language and the people... 
Maybe I was just missing Home... <3

MALDIVES ISLANDS

On Instagram, I follow "wonderful_places".  And they always post a picture of Maldives.  I meant to write about Maldives before but it seem like I posted too much beach spots in my blog.  But I think its time to bring back the beautiful beach spots!
I have never heard of Maldives personally, I only found out through Instagram.  I'm sure, not a lot of people hear about this place either.
All I know is that the beaches are SO PRETTY! I would say that all their beach spots are like Lanikai to me... the crystal light blue water...
Maldives has a lot of snorkel and diving spots.  Couple of them I found are,
     HP REEF, this place has all the colorful corals and fishes.
     BANANA REEF, in this spot they say that, you can find the rare banana fish.  The reef is called banana        reef  because the reef is shaped like a banana! I thought that was funny.
     MANTA POINT, at this place you can swim, snorkel or dive with a bunch of MANTA RAYS! cool!!!
I guess what really caught my attention is the HOTELS or RESORTS.  You can just jump out of your balcony and straight into the ocean.... That is the perfect life....

GIZA, EGYPT

It amazes me how the pyramids are built.  Especially the largest pyramid, The Pyramid of Khufu.
Probably took years and years!
However, whenever I hear the word Egypt, I automatically think of The GREAT SPHINX.  You may also know that pyramid as the one with the lion body and human head.  I remember seeing it in some cartoons when I was little...
There are about 138 pyramid in Giza alone... Imagine how many there are as a whole...  All theses pyramids were actually built as tombs for the pharaohs.
When I go to Egypt I really want to ride the CAMELS! And play with the sand!  I think they have a camel ride tour of the pyramids! EXCITING!!!

NEW YORK

First of all I want to visit the city of New York! All the flashing lights!

I had a chance to go with my middle school but I went to Florida instead because of Disney! I think New York would be a better experience now that I am an adult.  I will probably go shopping most of my time there...

Of course, visit the statue of liberty.  And go up to the crown! But the access to the crown is limited, so make reservations way before you go!

After visiting the city. I really want to visit the Niagara Falls!  I don't really know the history and all the information on Niagara Falls but just by looking at the pictures, it looks pretty incredible...  There are some cruises at the bottom on the Niagara Falls! Which is pretty crazy.. You get really close up to the waterfall.  

There is also a hotel "The Tower Hotel" It looks over the Niagara Falls.  All day and night you can just stare at it from your room!  Pretty scary how high the hotel is though... But an awesome view.

OKINAWA, JAPAN

Since its SPRING! I heard that Japan has the prettiest cherry blossom trees! My friend is actually in Japan and sent me a picture! I'm missing out...
My next trip is actually going to be Japan! In winter though.. BUT I'll get to see snow :)
While in Japan I really want to go to Okinawa, Japan! There is seriously only one reason why I want to go there... The OKINAWA CHURAUMI AQUARIUM!!! There's Whale Sharks at that aquarium!!!! Those animals are HUGE!
I found out that Okinawa Churaumi aquarium is to be the largest aquarium in the WORLD! Until Georgia Aquarium surpassed it... Which now makes me want to visit Georgia now!
Other than the aquarium. Okinawa is an island so it is similar to us, who live in Hawaii.  Since its an island, Okinawa has tons of beautiful beaches!
I can't wait to go in the winter! No matter how many times I look at the pictures of the aquarium, it always amazes me how big the whale sharks are... Everyone needs go visit!

AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND

During High school.  Polynesian men were always a GREAT eye candy!  My friend said that there are a lot of Polynesian men in New Zealand! So that is one reason why I NEED to visit New Zealand :)
My friend showed me a picture of a player for a New Zealand Rugby Team and  his name is Sonny Bill Williams...HOTNESS... That's all I have to say....
Another plus is, people in New Zealand have an ACCENT! <OM....G> Their New Zealand English is similar to Australian English! Beautiful....
Also the Maori language and culture is a big important part of New Zealand.
Other than the people!
New Zealand has a lot of exciting things to do for fun!!
There's Skydiving! I bet the view is GREAT! I've done skydiving in Hawaii! It was alright.. Its good that I did it! Instead of running away... But I swore I'll never go skydiving again...O.O   But the view was also GREAT in Hawaii.
There is also Bungee Jumping! AND! Sky Jump or Walk! That is where you walk or jump off the Sky Tower in Auckland, New Zealand! Pretty intense! But that's next on my bucket list!
Lets hope that its less scary than skydiving...

SINGAPORE

Working in a hotel, I've met a lot of people from Singapore!

I first want to say I LOVE THE ACCENT! 

I believe that they have their own language... Singalish? <not sure>  Pretty cool! But it's similar to British English.

Singapore has about 63 islands! Its located in southeast Asia.  In the pictures you can see that Singapore is very urbanized! Meaning Singapore has very little rain forest left.

But! Singapore is the BEST QUALITY OF LIFE in ASIA! and 11th overall in the WORLD! So if you are a city person.  Singapore would have everything there for you!

OH! One fact I found was that Singapore has a strict law for drug use! AND that is why they have the lowest rates of drug use in the world! That's incredible! 

One thing that made me write about Singapore is, I saw a picture on instagram and it was a hotel! The MARINA BAY SANDS HOTEL.  There is an INFINITY POOL! at the TOP of the hotel!  Its so cool! It must be trilling to be up there!

I really want to visit Singapore soon and experience the Best quality of life! I don't really know much about the tourist attractions that they have... So if there are any recommendations LET ME KNOW!

SANTORINI, GREECE

One of the places that would be perfect for a romantic and peaceful honeymoon.
Santorini, Greece is so beautiful... I was first introduced about Greece's beauty from the movie "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants".  It was either the 1st or the 2nd movie.
But what really got me to want to VISIT Greece is the show "Keeping Up With The Kardashions"

So I just wanted to tell you about what I heard about Greece and what makes me really want to go.
The Greek islands are grouped into clusters.  The one group that I'm interested in visiting is the Cyclades. The Cyclades consist of 220 islands! That is a lot!
The island I want to share is Santorini, Greece!
1) HOTEL. When I saw the hotels the Kardashions were staying in was absolutely beautiful!! I'm sure you would need to spend a lot of money on hotel like that... However, there is a period of time when Greece is really cheap and when they are really expensive. OH! and in your hotel room! there is a pool... A CAVE POOL!  That just makes it so much better...But I think if your going to visit GREECE! GO ALL OUT! I would..
2) HEAVEN. You can see that in Greece the housings and buildings are all basically white or a pastel color.  Also with some blue.  Plus the ocean...  Just looking at the pictures, it looks like heaven to me.. looks so pure...
3) BEACH. Since it is an island there is a whole load of beaches! Most of the beaches are nude beaches.  I thought that was interesting! You have to also go on the cruises! or like an yacht! The Kardashion show really made it look fun...
There is another island that I want to go is Mykonos, Greece.  All the islands seem the similar but between these two island I noticed from pictures that the land formation is different Santorini is more up in the mountains/hills and Mykonos is more on the lower ground.  But I know for sure! That both places have nude beaches!
I really want to know more about Greece! So if you have been to Greece and have any recommendations let me know!

OAHU, HAWAII

HEY!  

So I wanted to share the beautiful place where I call home. OAHU, HAWAII!

I am born and raised in Oahu and I love it here!  Well for most locals we think that its boring and we really want to get off this rock.  It is some what true.  But there is no place that I have visited that has fresh air like Hawaii does.  The weather is also consistent.  There are some times where its super hot but the winds helps us cool down.  And for the cold weathers... I don't know about you but I LOVE the cold weathers! It just rains and with those cold breezes.  Its the best when your at home and just cuddle up in your blanket and watch a movie.  
A couple activities I love to do in Oahu is
- BEACH <Of Course> Absolutely love LANIKAI BEACH its probably the prettiest beach in Oahu... Well to me it is :) 
- HIKING I try to hike everywhere.  One of the hikes I always try to make my friends go is the Willi Willi Nui Hike.  The main reason I try to make my friends go is because it is a challenging hike and I want to see them cry.  Like I did when I first went on this hike. -.- Other wise, its a really FUN HIKE. 
- FOOD 20 years of my life on Oahu, I have discovered really good food places.  There is one place! THE BEST PANCAKE! and OMELET! Its called BOOTS & KIMO'S!!!! <OM...G...> Its so good! but the wait is about 30 min - 1 hour wait... And it closes at 2 :(  ANYWAYS who cares! IT SO GOOD.... OH! and can't forget SHRIMP! Giovanni Shrimp Truck! MUST! there are two of them.  The one that everyone goes to is the ALOHA GIOVANNI SHRIMP TRUCK which is in Kahuku.  And there's another one the GIOVANNI SHRIMP TRUCK, that one is in Haleiwa.  Their both the SAME THING. Taste and everything is the same so either one is good.  
I think everyone in the WORLD! should come visit Hawaii.  It doesn't have to be Oahu but if your a city person I think Oahu would be the best.  The other island are just as GREAT! Its actually better!  They are very country and just a great place to just relax in peace. When you visit Hawaii and discover any interesting new things! LET ME KNOW! I know Hawaii has so much more to offer! :)
Anyways HAPPY TRAVEL!
