Five Hyped Cities to Travel in 2019
My goal is to travel to thirty countries before I turn 30. I'm 26 now and I'm nearly there. I love travelling, whether it's just a day out in the city or a village nearby, it's nice to discover local quirks. It's by travelling that I realise how lucky I am to live in the area I'm in. I may not drive, but I have direct trains to London, Birmingham and a lot of the other major cities in the UK. My hometown is also close to Bicester Village and the Costworlds which I didn't realise until recently very popular tourist destinations. This year I've been on two cruises: one around Norway and the fjords, and the other around France and Spain.

My Disneyland “Must Ride” List
Disneyland, the happiest place on earth—and most expensive. Well, maybe not most expensive. I’m sure we can all agree, though, the tickets, food and merchandise from Disneyland cost way too much. And yet, we buy all of it. What’s the reason? People don’t go for just the rides, they go for the experience. They sit down with their family and friends to watch the Pixar Play Parade and Fantasma. Personally, I’m more of a ride girl. My family and I don’t waste time watching firework shows and taking pictures with Mickey and the gang. We get as many Fast Passes as we can and hit all the best rides. Our record was 85 rides in four days, which includes our daily four hour naps. Since I’m so into the rides, I decided to make a list of five Disneyland rides that you won’t want to miss. Here it is, my Disneyland “Must Ride” list:

5 Great Things to Do in Santa Fe, NM
Santa Fe is a vibrant and truly historic city in northern New Mexico. Most people think of Native American pottery or silver and turquoise jewelry if they think of the City Different at all. Santa Fe is so much more than those things, though, with a history and culture all its own. Blending Spanish, Mexican, Native, and modern American ideas isn’t easy, but Santa Fe seems to do it easily.
