“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.”
I have always loved the thought of travelling. The idea of going somewhere new, not know anyone, and just getting lost. I have done some travelling but no where near as much as I want. As a PR student it has become apparent that this practise is very broad and is applicable to a wide variety of job opportunities. I am only in my first year; but at this point I would love to be able to get a job after school that combines my love for travelling with the practise of PR. Below are a list of places that I have been and places I would love to go. Take a look and enjoy!!!
PLACES I'VE BEEN . . .
For those who don't know, when I was in grade 11 I went on a school trip to Europe. It was outstandingly beautiful; sometime I wonder if I took that trip for granted but then I remember all the fun I had. It was really great and hopefully not just once in a lifetime !!
Oh, and I did do a blog post about my advice for those interested in going to Europe.. Check it out!
BELGIUM
This was my favourite place that we visited on my school trip, it was so old and so pretty!! It was just so mystical, with all the old buildings and cobblestone roads.. I would love to go here again.
GERMANY
If you like history particularly of the World Wars. Germany is the place for you. As a Canadian visiting Germany it was amazing to take tours of the trenches and visit Vimy Ridge. Any partiotic Canadian should definitely visit Germany.
FRANCE
Paris is outstanding. This is the most beautiful place I have ever been. The history here is so rich. I could spend days upon days getting lost in the streets. Although, it does loose some of its magic because of how fast pace and busy everyone is there. I expected to be walking down the streets French music playing, people walking along, a place where everyone is in love. I was wrong! Although, a good way to escape the hustle and bustle of the streets is finding the nearest park. The busy seem to avoid these parts and their parks are gorgeous.
AUSTRIA
If you want your breath literally taken from your lungs you must visit Austria. The Alps were absolutely stunning I have never seen such green grass and blue waters. How amazing would it be to build a house in the Alps. It's decided. I'm building a house in the Alps. Imagine waking up to this everyday...
A couple of months after I returned from Europe my friend invited me to go to Florida. Being in high school at the time and having a somewhat disposable income, I decide to go. We stayed and visited Disney land and it was really a lot of fun! But, I don't know if it is because I had just returned from EUROPE or what. But, it didn't live up to what I thought . . .
FLORIDA
As magical as the wonderful world of Disney was. . . I wasn't a huge fan of Florida. Especially the HEAT. But like I said I was secluded to one area of Florida, so who knows..
PUGWASH
Nova Scotia's hidden gem. Pugwash is a beautiful place that I absolutely love. Home of my Daddy! I love going there in the summer!
I have also been to New Brunswick, Quebec, and PEI. While on the way to Nova Scotia and visiting.
PLACES I WANNA GO . . .
ITALY
If anyone has seen Eat, Pray, Love then you may know why I want to go to Italy. Everyone here just seems so laid back and the food is amazing.. Or so I hear...
SHANGHAI
I have heard so much about Shanghai. I would really love to go and experience the drastic cultural change.
SCOTLAND
I have family in Scotland and would love to go and see the "homeland". I just hope my liver can keep up.
ENGLAND
I am not a huge fan of the rain but I think I could survive. You wanna know why..... THE MEN. Watch out Robert.
CALIFORNIA
I just want to sit on the beach and ride my bike.
CHICAGO
My sister Ali has inspired me to want to go here.. 21st birthday?? I think so!!
AUSTRALIA
Who wouldn't want to go to Australia.. Life just seems so much easier out there...
ALASKA
Not only is Alaska beautiful. But I feel like the environment and the people there would just be so homey and small town which I find very alluring..
And there you have it! At the moment these are the "few" places I want to visit. There really are so many more places I want to explore but these are my top!!
So I have not got the opportunity to blog in a little while being so busy with school and work . . . But I wanted to share something with you all that I discovered a couple weeks ago and love.. The HAIRBOW! Its just so pretty! I will be posting a video on how to create this look very soon! So stick around . . .
John Bender, Duckie, Blane McDonnagh, Ferris, Llyod Dobler and my personal favourite Jake Ryan. The decade of the "Rat Pack", big and feathered hair, blue eye shadow, neon, and legwarmers. Although I do agree with the big hair; what is it about the 80's; especially the movies that compels us so?
Over the course of my Christmas holidays it is safe to say that I didn't have much of a life. What did I do instead you may ask? I watched a colossal amount of both amazing and horrible 80's movies... And I am here to share my favourites with you, as well as possibly shed some light on why we are all so taken with these movies, well at least why I am!
The first 80's movie that I was ever introduced to and completely absorb by was The Breakfast Club. My sister had suggested I watch it, but I never really listened to her until I stumbled upon it watching tv one day. And it was then in that moment that The Breakfast Club struck me with all its glory. John Hughes; the ultimate 80s writer/producer. In this movie Hughes attempts to understand high school stereotypes by throwing a group of students in detention on a Saturday. Remember if you mess with the bull you get the horns. This movie examines the life of The Princess, The Jock, The Brains, The Basketcase, and The Rebel. Ahh, The Rebel. John Bender.
My other three favourite 80s movies are Say Anything... ,Pretty In Pink and 16 Candles. Call me a hopeless romantic but I can't help but love how in each film two unlikely individuals end up falling for each other. Sure, there is always some drawn out trial as to why the two main characters can't be together. But you always know going into an 80s movie they'll eventually end up together. How can a simple gesture like throwing ones fist in the air over excitement of being with a girl be so romantic?!?!?!?! . . . I digress; in the majority of these high school love stories, it goes a little something like this.. The high school stud ends up falling for a girl who is completely opposite and maybe not be all that popular. Simple. A story that has been overly redone many times. So why do we love them so?
I think at the end of the day what we all love about 80s movies is the impossible romances they project and the lengths at which these characters go to be with one another. It leaves us wondering; why can't I get swept away on a lawn mower or why can't the guy I like stand out my bedroom window with a stereo blaring one of my favourite songs . . . 80s movies give us some sort of false hope and longing for these unimaginable characters to somehow appear in our lives and sweep us off our feet. I don't know, maybe there are guys like that out there (thanks a lot Easy A). It's a vicious circle... But, until that day comes I guess we can resort to laying around on a rainy day and falling even more deeply in love with these famous characters and the romantic gestures they present in order to get the attention of the girl.
In case you haven't seen Easy A. Which you all should have; I think Olive said it best. . .
"Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason. But no, no, John Hughes did not direct my life."
Below I have provided a list of my favourite 80s movies that I hope you all get the chance to check out!
