Everyone’s got a top 10 list: TripAdvisor, 1,000 Things to See Before You Die, Conde Nast Traveler, The New York Times, Viator… I’ve decided to create my own. Having escorted groups to 7 continents, traveled to 130 countries, sailed on 126 cruises, and visited 38 US states, I consider myself to be well qualified for this task.
Today I want to share: Malori’s Top 10 List for Scenic Beauty (OK, I had to go with 12)
There are so many amazing places on this earth that are so beautiful, being in any one of them actually takes my breath away. I have been so fortunate to have had several such experiences. And let’s face it, since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we may all have different places that excite and inspire us. For me, it’s where the snow covered mountains meet a body of water, be it a sea, a lake an ocean or a river.
With many places, an entire region or even most of the country is so spectacular, it would win a top spot on my list, but I went with the more specific destination, just in case you should decide to visit… I promise, it’ll be so worth it!
