Inspired by some beautiful photo’s I found while browsing Pinterest, which is quickly becoming my favorite social platform, I thought it would be a great idea to start off with a post on the most beautiful places in the world.

Unfortunately I haven’t visited all of these places but they sure are on my bucket list as of now:) And although I know it would take probably more then one lifetime to visit all these places, it’s nice to have dreams… Ps: besides time there’s the financial issue as well;)

Anyway, not being able to go visit all of these locations doesn’t mean we can’t be amazed by the beautiful pictures of those that were! And if you’d like to mention some of your favorite places, feel free to contact us!

Here’s a list of the most awesome and must-visit locations in the world:
