Wanderlust (n) - a strong desire to travel

Hello Ditsy Eyed people, first things first.. you have to help me come up with a new name for you all (suggestions in the comments). 

So I'm sat at home after along day and I'm just thinking about travelling places. I've always wanted to travel around even since I was little and I think I'm used to moving house and moving around quite a bit as I've done more than the normal amount of moving around than an average 15 year old girl would do. I've moved house quite a few times so i guess I'm just used to moving and travelling around, I know moving isn't exactly like travelling the world and I have only lived in one country but you get the point. 

So I'm just sat here now thinking about the future and what places I want to go and visit and maybe even live in. Now I'm not just talking about in England but in lots of different countries, I'm getting to the age where at school we have to think about our future and what we want to do and the only thing I can come up with is travel, I'm not rich and don't have enough money to travel so these all just seem like hopes and dreams right now but I'm hoping to take a year or 2 off of work when I'm older and just travel around to places. 

Recently, I have been making a lot of things I want to do lists and bucket lists on my phone and I've realised that most of these things are to visit places and go to specific places in the world. Some of these I know are very very unlikely to happen but some of them I am hoping with all my heart that they do happen. So I just thought that I would share some of these places with you today, if you are like me and get over excited about visiting new places and seeing beautiful pictures of places that sum up paradise then this should be your place to be right now. 

As I said, I do have a bucket list of places I want to go on my phone but I cant share all of these places as I could write a whole book about how amazing the photographs look and how beautiful the places are as I have 83 places to visit (and counting) so far on the list. So these are just a few places which look beautiful and I'm hoping I visit someday in the future. 




This is a gorgeous place called Santorini in Greece. Ive never been to Greece but just looking at these photos makes me want to go now! I just love the plain white buildings with a splash of colour every now and then, the clear blue sea looks so lovely and I just imagine sitting on the beach with the waves slowly washing up onto the golden sand, and of course the sun beaming down during the day (I know a lot of places are hot but England isn't so this is like a dream). I saw Santorini on a website where I was looking for bucket list ideas and I saw this wonderful place and just fell in love the moment I saw it. If you live here you are so lucky so go outside and just breath and enjoy all that is around you. 





If you aren't in love with this place then I seriously don't know who you are but why and how? This place is so beautiful! Its the Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia by the way and yes these are REAL photographs, they aren't photo-shopped or anything.. these places actually exist. I can imagine going here and just feeling relaxed and hearing all of the waterfalls and the wildlife that is there would just make me feel so calm, I cant even explain what I would feel if I ever went here but I think I would most likely stand in the same spot for about 5 hours just looking at one of the trees that is in front of me.. i would probably need about a month just looking around these beautiful lakes just to make sure i didn't miss anything and make sure I took it all in. 




This is the Glacier National Park in Montana. I've seen these pictures so many times (i just keep searching up pretty places and this always comes up) yet I am still amazed ever single time I look at them of how breathtaking this is. If you live anywhere near this but haven't been to see it then what are you doing? Go now! If I was here I wouldn't need any technology (which is a big thing for me) and I would just lay down and enjoy everything around me. This is truly one of the most stunning places I have ever seen. 



Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls I give you the Antelope Canyon, USA. I'm unsure of where exactly this is in the USA but its amazing. I remember my dad used to have a picture of this as his background on his computer and I never actually believed it was a real place, now I know it is. This isn't my normal type of place that I would like to go to but this just looks so peaceful and beautiful that I couldn't resist putting it on my places to go bucket list. If any of you have gone to this then I envy you so much because this place is beautiful. (I realise I'm using the same words a lot here such as beautiful, stunning, calming etc. but I'm not sure how else to say what I'm thinking... yay to my wide range of vocabulary).



Wow. This is the magnificent Carrera Lake, Santa Cruz in Argentina. As soon as I saw these pictures I mind-gasped (gasped but in my mind so my family wouldn't think I was weird for gasping at a laptop) but seriously, this place just makes me want to go and swim in it right now. These waters excite me a lot and I know that sounds really strange but unless you have been to a beach in England then shh because beaches here are dreadful. Also I know this isn't a picture of a beach but its a picture of the sea or lake or whatever so that still counts. I'm not one for swimming in the sea or in lakes but this just makes me want to dive right into it now. 


Well, that's it for today. But who knows I will most likely do another blog post which is the second part to this... I still have 78 places to show you. If you liked this post please leave me a comment saying you liked it or you want more or even with a smile face.. I'm not fussy. If there's any places you recommend for me to check out (pictures of the place.. sadly I couldn't go there unless they were 5 minutes away from my house) I LOVE looking at beautiful places to visit and it might make it on the second post about this, who knows. Also tell me what other posts I can do as I'm not sure what to write about at the moment so ideas would be great. 

Hope you liked this blog post,

  2. Croatia is a lovely place to travel to, also Italy I think is amazing. Before I went to Uni I went backpacking for 2 months around Europe and it was amazing. Don't let yourself think you might never get to go travelling just work hard and if you want it badly enough you can make it happen :) Elle x

    1. That sounds amazing. Italy is on my places to go bucket list so many times and a certain town (or village.. not sure) in Italy is the place i most want to go to in Italy. I also want to go back packing around Europe. Thank you for the encouragement :) Sophie x
