The Madagascar Chamaleon This little guy was found on our canoe trip when we were sailing down a river in the southwest part of Madagascar.  I joined a tour in order to see the Avenue of the Baobabs and Tsingy Stone Forrest.  We stopped to relax at a water fall and when we sat down to eat we not only found this little guy climbing on our food, we also found a family of Lemurs playing in the trees.  The amount of diversity that can be found in Madagascar is just amazing and the up to 80% of species that can only be found there is a reason to visit on its own. #africa #madagascar #chamaleon #animals #cuteanimal

The tourist attractions in Iceland start and end with Reykjavik.  The largest city inIceland hosts 2/3 of the country’s entire population.  Culturally unique to any place in the world; parties last for hours into the night, the people and surroundings make it feel cozy and quaint, great museums and arts district, and an opportunity to sample whale and to indulge in some disgusting sea creatures.

Throughout the various arrondissements in Paris during the holiday season, classic carousels are set up for those looking to remember the carefree days of their youth.  Those looking for the best of the bunch will want to check out the ones close to the Eiffel Tower and the Hotel de Ville, but if tourist crowds aren’t your thing, there are plenty of others in smaller neighborhoods whose charms and locals only vibe will grant it a special atmosphere that will count as the first special moment of many on your trip.

Stonehenge One of the best tourist attractions in England! Built by the ancients of Britain and ruined by Chevy Chase in the movie European Vacation, this landmark’s purpose has still not been completely found.  Some claim its purpose is to determine the movement of the sun and stars and others feel it is a religious.  Whether either or both are true, make sure not to jump on any of the boulders because that will be an expensive repair bill.

Peru Countryside From Walk To the Inca Bridge Possibly the second most popular tourist attraction in Peru after Machu Picchu.  The walk ends at the famed Machu Picchu.  I took the train but many people enjoy taking the trail to explore the countryside and follow in the footsteps of the Incas.  Definitely worth it if you have the time and love hiking.

Sunset in the Galapagos Islands I’ve seen my share of amazing sunsets and this Galapagos Islands sunset probably is in the top five. Being able to witness these spectacular sites day in and day out on the MS Grace Yacht with Quasar Expeditions was definitely something else. This was on one of the first days of our trip while touring around the entire Galapagos Islands complex.

The things to do in Ottawa are often overlooked by the more popular cities of Montreal and Toronto. The capital of Canada is often neglected but many people don’t realize what an amazing city it truly is. A great place to check out is the Rideau Canal. There you can take boat tours throughout the many waterways that line the city to get a different perspective of Ottawa.  In the winter the Rideau Canal turns into the largest skating rink in the world, which reaches miles away to cities nearby.

If you are travelling to Northern Ireland, the chances are that you have already heard about the Giant’s Causeway. It is not only one of the main tourist attractions in the area, but also one of the greatest Natural Wonders in the entire United Kingdom. The Giant’s Causeway is by geographical definition, a natural formation of basalt columns that were formed roughly 60 million years ago as the direct result of a gigantic volcanic eruption in the area.  #europe #UK #northernireland #giantscauseway #naturalwonder #touristattraction

Municipal Theater, Rio de Janeiro When I was in Brazil, I found a great place to stay in a neighborhood in the center of downtown Rio de Janeiro called Cinelandia, a redeveloped arts district.  I had a fantastic view of the municipal theater which is one of the most beautiful architectural buildings in the city. The building is designed in an eclectic style, inspired by the Paris Opéra of Charles Garnier. The outside walls are inscribed with the names of classic Eurocentric & Brazilian artists.  See more at wanderingtrader.com #southamerica #brazil #riodejaneiro #municipaltheater #greatview

Terracotta Warrior complex The world famous Terracotta Warriors (otherwise known as terracotta army) can be found at the Ancient Capital of Xian. Each warrior is unique because every terracotta clay statue is modeled after a different soldier.  The soldier’s had to model for the sculpture or face death. The Terracotta Warriors were an infamous rumor along with other claims that the Ch-in Dynasty (where the word China comes from) created a tomb complex under a mountain that contains China in miniature with molten lead rivers and all the famous sites of ancient China.  When unearthed, this will be the archeological wonder of the 21st century.  This is one of the China activities that you will not want to miss.
