My 13 wanderlust locations

I've been a nature enthusiast, lover of vintage items and structures, and admirer of beautiful little towns ever since I can remember. And despite having several places on my Bucket List that I already wanna visit, there's another shorter list of places I would really love to visit and hope to visit as soon as I possibly can.

1. Abandoned Light House - Talacre Beach, North Wales

This lighthouse is said to be "a great relic of a bygone era." It is commonly known as 'Point of Ayr' and was built in 1776, and then decommissioned in 1883. It is just over 63 feet and I'm completely enchanted by it's immediate location and rough looking exterior. I've admired lighthouses ever since I first watched Pete's Dragon as a child, a 1977 Disney classic. So when I saw this lighthouse whilst scrolling on Pinterest I just knew I have to see it and one day I hope to do just that.

2. Libreria Acqua Alta - Venice, Italy

Libreria Acqua Alta is thought to be the most beautiful book store in the entire world. With stacks of books all the way up to the ceiling the book worm in me thinks it has found heaven. The name of the store literally means 'Bookstore of High Water' as it is prone to floods, this sort of makes the store even more intriguing to me as I am quite the adrenaline junkie and it would be extremely exciting for me to get flooded into an amazing bookstore, like my perfect little apocalypse.

3. Ponferrada Castle - Camino De Santiago, Spain

This captivating old structure and historical monument resides besides Sil River and is completely surrounded by mountains and greenery. These two things alone are already rather intriguing to me as a lover of beautiful scenery, throw in an old castle with tons of historical background and I want to be there ASAP! The castle was built upon a pre-Roman fort within the early 13th century and hosted the Knights Templar, an ancient Catholic military order whom were most active between 1119 to 1312. This being another brilliant reason to visit this beautiful location, I love me some cavalier history.

4. The Giants Causeway - Ireland

This place is one of the most recognised UNESCO world heritage sites due to the fact that it originated millions of years ago from volcanic and geological activity. And although it's brilliant to know about the more realistic and historical information of things, I prefer the mythological story behind this location. It is said to have been used by a giant named Fionn Mac Cumhail, where he would leap from step to step resulting in transporting himself all the way to Scotland. And I love the idea of this being a 'thing' (despite knowing it isn't), but only because it reminds me of the Roald Dahl classic children's book The BFG.

5. Walters Wiggles - Utah

Walters Wiggles is located in Zion National Park, I found out about this place in a YouTube video by one of my favourite vloggers, Julien Solomita, when he visited the park for his series on Waffsicle, Last Minute Trips. I did a little research about the location and came across the wiggles. I was instantly filled with the desire to travel down the cliff on either a bicycle or a moped. But then with some further research I realised the width of the trail was not wide enough, so I settle with the challenge of climbing all the way to the top. And I am aware that Zion has quite a lot of historical background and the hike through the canyon mut be really satisfying and thrilling, and I do love hiking. But, my main desire at the moment is to be (one day) able to say "I made it all the way up to Angels Landing."

6. Gullfoss - Iceland

This iconic waterfall is fed by the second largest glacier in all of Iceland, and has a 32 metre drop. I've heard that when the weather is nice and the sun is out you can see a rainbow right above the falls, but the rainbow isn't the only reason why I wanna see the waterfall. I would also love to see it because Gullfoss is also called "Golden Falls", and this is because the water plunges down three step staircases and it apparently, actually looks golden when it does so. I would love to witness a "golden" waterfall for myself.

7. Moraine Lake - Banff National Park, Canada

Not only is this place based at Banff National Park, a beautiful place to hike through, but the Moraine Lake is also commonly seen on the default backgrounds of Windows computers. The trail itself up to the lake is called Rockpile Trail, and it is approximately 300 metres long, and it has an elevation change of about 24 metres, so, not only is it beautiful, but I also love a challenge. Another reason I would LOVE to visit this place is the fact that you can canoe on the lake... can you imagine canoeing on a Windows 10 wallpaper.

8. Prespa National Park - Macedonia

Prespa National Park is spread between Macedonia and Greece, making it an incredibly huge reserve. Not only is it a beautiful location to hike and adventure through, but it is also home to hundreds of wildlife:

• 60 Species of mammals

• 270 Species of birds

• 23 Species of reptile

• 11 Species of amphibians

• 21 Species of fish

20 of which can only be found, and are native to this area alone. So, not only a great place for me to have a beautiful experience, but also to see a variety of amazing creatures in their natural habitat.

9. Mougins - French Riviera

This beautiful village surrounded by forests is found high up on a hillside behind Cannes. Besides it's attractive environment, the reason for me wanting to visit Mougins is the fact that several of well known artists settled here. Artists such as Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau, Fernand Leger and many more. In fact at the Museum of Mougins hosts original antiquities from Picasso himself. Not to mention that the museum also has several ancient Rome and Greek art and history which I really love and highly appreciate.

10. Andalucia - Spain

This beautiful hill top is traditionally an agricultural region that is rich in culture and identity. In fact, a lot of Spain's phenomenal culture actually derived from this location, especially bullfighting and flamenco dancing. Now, the reason why I would love to visit this place is because, this is apparently the place in which Picasso was actually born. Besides, their coat of arms has the figure of Hercules on it, and I love me some Greek Mythology.

11.The High Tatras - Slovakia

Just look at this picture, need I say more? Well, considering you've probably been reading this far I guess I do. The High Tatras is home to a copious amount of rare and endemic animals and plants which I am always down with. And those mountains you see back in the distance, they're used in the winter for the sport as Slovakia is a well known place for winter sports, such as skiing, snowboarding, and ski-alpinism (which is a mix of cross-country skiing and mountaineering). But I genuinely just wanna go for the animals and the view.

12. Eagle Hawk Neck - Tasmania, Australia

This thin strip connects the Tasman Peninsula to the Forestier Peninsula and it was once guarded by a chain of dogs. The dogs used to prevent conflicts from escaping prison settlements. Cause as a lot of you may or may not know a long time ago Britain used to keep a large amount of their prisoners in Australia as they're prisons were beginning to fill up. But part from the history I mainly just want to visit this place, firstly because of that Arch, and secondly it's known for several shipwreck sites.

13. The Botanical Garden of Copenhagen

This garden us extremely unique to its location and is based right in the centre of Copenhagen. It is part of a Natural History museum and the grounds include conservatories, a herbarium, a library and a plant shop. It hosts Denmark's largest scientific collections of plants, most of which are threatened to become extinct. The glasshouses themselves also have some history to them as they were only built in 1874, and the grounds and gardens were first established in 1600.
