What’s a country that’s at the top of your bucket list?

From as far back as I can remember, I’ve always dreamed of visiting Paris, France. In my daydreams, it’s a bleak, rainy autumn day, and I’d make a quick trip to a nearby café for breakfast, settling into a seat by the window to watch the damp, luminous streets glisten beneath the soft, cloudy skies. I’d have a warm croissant and sip tea while getting lost in the pages of a good book, taking my time before eventually making my way back to my suite overlooking the Eiffel Tower.
There’s something so charming, alluring, and almost dreamlike about Paris. Perhaps it’s the way I’ve seen it portrayed in movies or the way it’s been described in the books I’ve read, but the city has always held a certain magic for me, one that makes it feel like a place straight out of a dream. I imagine a quiet kind of romance in its rainy streets, its little cafés, and the warmth of a slow morning spent with nowhere in particular to be. It’s a feeling I’ve carried with me for years, and one that has kept Paris at the very top of my list of places to visit. I hope to experience it for myself someday, and I pray that the reality of the city will be even more beautiful than the idealistic picture I’ve painted in my mind.
