At the very tip top of my list is Machu Picchu. Ever since I can remember its been on my places to see list.
I would love to get the chance to take six months out of my life and hike the entire Appalachian Trail. Georgia to Maine, 2000 miles of backpacking. I've never actually backpacked before, but I grew up hiking and camping, and I think this would just be amazing.
Mount Everest and the Himalayas. I don't have the urge to summit Month Everest, but just to stand where that person is in the picture would be awe inspiring. Fun fact: Did you know the Himalayans continue to grow (4-10 cm/year!) as the Indian plate continues to crash into the Eurasian plate?
These are just a few of what I would like to experience, but all three have been on my mind lately. School started two weeks ago and I'm taking Physical Geology lecture and lab and have been immersed in plate tectonics and the landscape of our planet including mountains and how they are made. And I have found it all so interesting and fascinating. I have found my calling in life and it's the best feeling. I can't wait to take more geology classes and learn everything there is to know.
