Girls and their list – that’s what they say, no?
Well, I’m no exception. I love making list. And scraping things off of them. I really do. So, other than my bucketlist of things to do, I also want to take you on a trip around the Lonely Planet’s “Ultimate Travel”-list. It’s a book my boyfriend got me for my last birthday. In it the Lonely Planet has explained their list of the 500 best places to see and they ranked them.
It might be one of the best gifts my boyfriend got me ;-).

So down below you can find the World’s top 500 – and those I’ve already seen are (yes) scraped through! When I feel the need to it, I’ll also give my humble opinion ;-).
If you want to have some more (professional) explanation about the 500 places, buy the book! It’s recommendable.
