My Top 5 Favorite Places



Fairly simple.

What are my Top 5 Favorite Places that I have traveled to (in no particular order, FYI)?
***side note - I took each of these on my trips

1.
Kwambekenya, Kenya
I went to this small village on a mission trip that completely changed my life.
I have never met people so beautiful and so joyful amidst such poverty, hurt, 
and hopelessness.  It it still a dream of mine to one day return to the village that 
changed my life and taught me the true meaning of joy.






2.
Cancun, Mexico
I love warm weather.  That was the beginning of my love for this place.  To
be able experience such warmth, especially when it was so cold in the Midwest, 
was such a blessing.  The beaches are extraordinary; beautiful, white, soft 
sand, warm beneath my toes.  The noise of the ocean is incredibly calming
to me and I have found a lot of solitude near here.







3.
Stillwater, Minnesota
I first visited Stillwater when I was a freshman in college.  Stillwater is 
such a beautiful, quiet town.  It honestly just warms my heart whenever
I go there because I always feel so at home.  The main street is adorable
as well, and has one of my favorite restaurants there - Leo's Grill & Malt Shop.







4.
New York City, New York
I have only been to New York City one time and I had a great time.  I definitely 
encourage people to visit at least once in their lifetime and while I had fun, I
don't think I could ever live there!  The lights, the busyness is fun for awhile
but not the life for me - like I said though, it's a place that I think everyone 
should get the chance to visit!






5.
Belize City, Belize
I know I already wrote several long blog posts on my trip to Belize this 
summer, so I will keep this brief.  I enjoyed my trip, the people I went with, and
the opportunities I had while I was there.  This is also another place I hope
I get to go back to again someday.
