Where I'm Hoping To Travel To In 2015

A new year is an opportunity for new experiences and travelling to new destinations. There're quite a few countries I want to visit for the first time this year as well as those I want to return to. I'm yet to book anything but I'm hoping that I can make it to at least three of these countries. 

Jamaica

It feels like it has been far too long since I was sprawled on a beach with a good book and a fresh coconut. With some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean I think Jamaica is a must for 2015. Renowned for it's wildlife I'd love to spend some time snorkelling and exploring the island. I'd probably come back the size of a house though having stuffed my face with jerk chicken and saltfish, I absolutely love Jamaican food!

United States

I've been to the states three times previously but have always visited the East Coast.  This time I want to head West, taking a road trip down the coast. I'd want to begin in Seattle and make my way down past Portland, San Francisco and Big Sur before eventually ending up in Los Angeles. Maybe I could even sneak in a quick trip to Las Vegas!

Amsterdam

Amsterdam has been on my travel wishlist for quite a while now and seeing as it's only an hour away by plane, I can't believe I still haven't been! I'd love to visit for a weekend, spending some time in their famous museums and taking a boat up the canal.

Canada

My ultimate goal for 2015 is to move to Canada for a year on a working holiday visa. I'm looking at leaving in October but the visa are yet to be released. Apparently there aren't many and they run out quickly so I have to be prepared to apply at any moment! The goal is to travel from Toronto, taking in as much of the Canadian scenery and experience as much as possible before I reach Vancouver. I'm hoping to spend the winter working in a ski resort before volunteering on a farm somewhere in the summer months.

Sri Lanka

After spending an amazing two weeks in Thailand last year, I'm desperate to get back to Asia and see more of it.  With stunning beaches and dense jungle, this island is incredibly diverse and there's a lot to see and do here. I'm hoping to climb Adam's Peak, see some leopards in Yala National Park and go whale watching in Mirissa.

Iceland

One of the most popular destinations in 2014, I'm still yet to visit Iceland and experience it's wild, natural beauty. Seeing the Northern Lights would be a dream come true but I'd also settle for seeing 'The Great Geysir', soaking in a hot spring and taking a dip in the blue lagoon.

Ibiza

I'm in serious need of a girls holiday and where better to soak up the sun and enjoy some wine with your friends than Ibiza? I really enjoyed my last stay here but this time I'd like to do a little less drinking and a bit more exploring of the island known as the 'White Isle'.
