I absolutely love traveling. In my 15 years, I've been abroad several times: Thailand, Vietnam, Türkiye, Cuba, Abkhazia. My dream is to visit every place on earth. But most of all, I want to visit: Paris, London,Greece, Italy, Switzerland, and the USA.

Reasons why I want to go to Paris.

1) I want to see the Eiffel Tower with my own eyes, especially in the evening when it's lit up.
2) I'm dying to try croissants, which are famous all over the world.
3) I can say that the trip was influenced by my childhood cartoon "Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir." Watching it, I imagine myself in this country.
4) I also want to visit the Louvre: to see Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting, "Mona Lisa," and other works

The reasons I want to go to Greece:

1) History lessons and many encyclopedias have imbued me with a love for this beautiful country. I've always been fascinated by the gods: Zeus, Hades, Hera, Hercules, and others.
2) The Acropolis of Athens, Olympia, and the Palace of Knossos are all connected to the gods and history. I could discuss this topic at length.
3) Furthermore, Greece is the setting for all the events of one of my favorite cartoons, "Hercules."

Reasons why I want to go to Italy:

1) In history, I also liked the topic of Colosseums, battles, and warriors.
2) Campania. This city is famous for its active volcanoes, one of which is Vesuvius. The region's most famous landmark is also connected to a volcano: Pompeii. Everyone knows what happened to that city.
3) Besides the buildings and nature, I want to try real Italian pizza. After all, this dish was invented by Italians, and only they know all the ingredients.

Reasons why I want to visit London:

1) Castle Combe. This medieval-style village. I absolutely adore this style.
2) Buckingham Palace, where the Queen lived most of the time; the Harry Potter Museum, Madame Tussauds, the London Eye, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, and the National Gallery.
3) The River Thames is located in the very center of London. You can take a boat ride along the river. A must-see is to visit the Harry Potter filming locations. I've seen all the movies and am still rewatching them.

Reasons why I want to visit Switzerland:

1) Mountains, waterfalls, lakes with crystal-clear water.
2) Cottages in fields amidst mountains and lakes. All this creates the feeling of being in some fairytale land.
3) Paragliding. I absolutely love flying, and trying paragliding would definitely not be a mistake.

Reasons why I want to visit the USA:

1) It's the land of opportunity.
2) Hollywood. Many places have been used as filming locations for movies that are still famous today.
3) The US is the home of my favorite cartoon studios: Disney, Pixar, and Nickelodeon.
4) The Statue of Liberty. One of the most beautiful statues in the world with a rich history.

I have one little dream: to visit Disneyland. As far as I know, it's not only in the US, but also in France, Japan, Türkiye, China, and Hong Kong. I hope that someday I'll see this place in person, which I've dreamed about since childhood.

After my adventures in countries far from home, I'm overcome with homesickness. Less than two weeks have passed, and I'm already missing my parents, my home, and my pets. I think moving to another country would be hard. Yes, I'll be able to come home, but life already feels different.

I'm not old enough yet, so my parents won't let me travel to another country alone. My older sister, Lyuba, and I often talk about the future: what jobs we'll have, where we'll live. Before I turn 18, I want to travel only with my sister. If that happens, it will be the best vacation I've ever had.

Among all the countries in the world, several stand out as having the safest life. Namely:Iceland;Singapore,Switzerland;Qatar;New Zealand.UAE;Ireland;Austria;Denmark;Japan.These countries are not only safe to live in, but also very beautiful.

There are places in Russia I want to visit. Not many, but still.

1) Murmansk Oblast. I'm not a fan of the cold, but I'd do anything for the Northern Lights. It's amazing that such a beautiful phenomenon can be seen in Russia.

2) Katun. The main river flowing through the Altai Krai and the Altai Republic. It looks like an ordinary river, but its bright turquoise water is truly astonishing. That's why I really want to visit there at least once.

3) Lake Elton, Volgograd Region. Surrounded by a ring of snow-white salt, Lake Elton is also called the "golden bottom" because algae make the body of water shimmer with every color of precious stones: from gold to pink and bright indigo. The lake is so shallow that you can literally walk on it: the average depth in summer is only 5 cm. This makes it a wonderful opportunity to take beautiful photos with reflections, creating the illusion of walking across the sky.
