Ibiza, Spain

       Ibiza is a small Mediterranean island off the coast of Spain. It is world renowned for having an array of activities for people of all ages and with all sorts of interests. As far as the younger generations are concerned (mine included), Ibiza is known as the party capital of the Mediterranean. Known as the birthplace of electronic music, the steady pulse can be heard and felt once the sun sets and the nightlife scene takes main stage. During the day, Ibiza is recognized for its pristine beaches with crystal clear waters and picturesque coves. The sunny hours offer the opportunity to visit the local markets and stroll through the cobblestone streets and quaint local restaurants.

       Ibiza is a must see on my European to-do list. I cannot wait to experience island life in a completely foreign culture.

Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia

              Plitvice Lakes National Park is the oldest national park in Southeast Europe and the largest national park in Croatia. The park consists of 16 interlinked lakes and a large forest surrounding them. There are boardwalks and pathways traversing through the incredible scenery, allowing visitors to get an unobstructed view. The lakes glisten radiantly in colors of turqouoise, blue, green, and gray and change constantly due to the quantity of minerals and organisms, as well as the angle of the sunlight.
   
             This place is a top priority on my list of places to go and things to see. I can just imagine how peaceful and serene it must feel to be there in person. I also have an interest in photography and I am sure I will get some incredible shots in such a beautiful place.
