Venice, Italy



Once in Venice, St. Marks Basilica is hard to miss and trust me, you don’t want to. St. Marks Basilica was built several hundred years ago and has become a tourist attraction as well as a place that locals go to find peace. St. Marks Basilica is known for its gothic architecture which features numerous columns, arches and spires which help support the churches’ 5 domes. Although this alone seems beautiful, the true beauty lies in the golden mosaics that line the walls of the church.

Geneva, Switzerland

Another huge reason to travel to Geneva is the food. When you think of Swiss food, Chocolate automatically comes to mind, then the well-known Swiss cheese. That’s not all the country has to offer when it comes to food. The countries food is known to be extremely rich and tends to use a lot of cream ingredients which can be difficult for someone with a weak stomach. Once you get past that, you will have some of the best meals you have ever had. One of Geneva’s top dishes is called rösti which is grated potatoes fried on both sides and then formed into pancakes.

Introduction


If you've been to Disney World, you know the ride I'm referencing when I say "It's A Small World." Well, that's pretty hard to believe considering we live in a world that has 196 countries which seem to be light-years away from the privacy of our own backyards. People have become so wrapped up in the busyness that surrounds their own lives that they forget to stop and realize what a beautiful place the world actually is. This is where I come in. I’m going to show you how stepping back from your crazy schedule, even for just a few moments, can open your eyes to the beauty that this world encompasses.  Each day, I will show you a new city located somewhere in this world, hoping to enlighten you on what the world truely holds.
