Shimshal Lake, Pakistan

I don’t know about you, but for me, all of the countries ending with ”stan” are high on my bucket list. Often when I tell someone that I want to visit Pakistan people don’t get it. But how could I not want to?

Greenland

Like I’ve already mentioned, I’m dying to go to Iceland.

But I don’t see anyone going to Greenland. And why not? If you haven’t done it already, then now is the time to add Greenland to your bucket list.

Where the pink waters meet the white sand. Don’t believe this is real? Actually, the reason for its coloring is a tiny marine microorganism that contains beta-carotene. Nothing extraordinary.

The Crater is also known as thedoor to Hell” (suits him well). It was introduced to me a couple of years ago by my brother who is dying to go there as well.

Danakil Depression, Ethiopia

Similar to the Darvaza Gas Crater, the Danakil Depression is called ”the getaway to Hell” or ”Hell on Earth”. Well, if this is Hell, then I don’t think that Hell is a bad place to be.

Am I the only one wanting to go to ”Hell”?
