"I would go to Greece because I have always been interested in the culture, history and the food. I haven't traveled as much as I would like to, but I love learning about new people and experiencing another culture."
"I'd travel to the Scotland Highlands. You could throw a rock and hit the ruins of an old castle. The history and folklore are so rich there, as is the food. I'm an explorer and a history buff, so hiking throughout those regions would be a dream."

I will cover the remaining 40 states in the USA until I go on an international trip. I also want to travel to Europe, it's my dream country. I know I won't to able to cover the whole of Europe in one trip. First I will cover Greece, Switzerland, and Croatia. I want to live there for a month and experience the cultural heritage.
