These places involved a bit more of a active attitude.

Whenever you decide to go explore the world and be a independent traveler, make sure you hit these places. Take a camera, sketch pad, energy, water and a positive mind space! Enjoy expanding your bucket list with these 10 amazing places:

10. Rocky Mountains, Canada

Oh hey look! It is our home and native land, Canada. You can not deny that our Rocky Mountains are beautiful!

Canada, Eh!
Canada, Eh!

9.  Tianzi Mountains, China

Do these  mountains remind anyone of the “Hallelujah Mountains” from the famous James Cameron film, Avatar? They are not only tall and beautiful, but seem extraordinary and so out of this world. Almost as if they do not exist!

I can’t decide which version is more worthy to stare it. Regardless, is it not a place you just want to make your screensaver?! For all you Kardashian fans out there, they vacationed as a family here! (I can definitely see why!)

6. Margaret River, Australia

Ahh, a photo that seems to capture the essence of Australia in one photograph. On a serious note though, this place looks flawless. Some good tunes, good people, shades, sun screen and you are set to hit the beach!

5. Banaue, Philippines

I’m not used to seeing so much green all in one place! But who in Canada really is? Visiting the rice fields of Banaue would be such an amazing change from the dreading winter whites we face in Canada!

4. Wineries of Morocco

Even though most of us are underage, that doesn’t mean we can experience the enriched culture within the outskirts of Morocco! For all we know, squishing grapes may the most thrilling thing we’ve ever experienced!
