After reading over the book, “1000 Places To See Before You Die” by Patricia Schultz, it has broadened my perspective when it comes to places I would like to visit before I die or another thing to mark off my “Bucket List”.

An interesting historical fact about Corsica is that it is the birth place of Napoleon Bonaparte. Per Wikipedia, Corsica is also known to be a “hiker’s paradise” which I enjoy doing on my vacations. With Corsica’s rich Mediterranean climate, it makes it the ideal place to be able to travel to virtually all year around.

With Yasawas being one of the most popular travel destinations in Fiji, the beach at Nalova Bay on Nacula Island offers white sanded beaches leading into a clear lagoon deep enough for swimming and...
