Here, I would like to declare myself as a traveler. Last night, I came through the list of 50 places to visit before you die according to BBC. Honestly, the places in the list are the places I have wanted to go in my whole life. I have been to some of them and they are awesome and have different uniqueness.
Why do I love traveling?
Well, why NOT??? I think all people should love traveling since you can see so many different cultures in the world (the ones that you can accept or can't), how great God has created humans and earth, and most importantly you can try to understand the way different people from different places around the world think.
Anyway, I would try to group these 50 awesome places according to their geographical locations.
