What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why?

What place in the world do you never want to visit?

I’m going to go ahead and flip that one and ask instead: what places are on my bucket list?

I’m a rebel. Embrace it.

Easily, my number one choice is Egypt. Because… Egypt.

Ramses the Great. King Tut. Cleopatra. The rich tapestry of gods and goddesses in ancient Egyptian mythology.

I could go on, but what could be more fascinating than a civilization as enduring and mysterious as ancient Egypt—one steeped in history, power, and mythic resonance?

Greece comes in at a very close second, honestly for many of the same reasons.

I guess I’m just a mythology geek.

Ares. Aphrodite. Zeus. Perseus. The Odyssey. Sirens.

As an aspiring author, there’s something about those stories—the scale, the drama, the humanity of the gods…that inspires me to do better and never really lets me go.

If time travel were an option, I’d be first in line to meet Homer. The mind behind those epics? Unreal.

Then there’s Rome, Italy.

A civilization whose ruins still echo through everything—how we see the world, how we define art, how we tell history.

And I’ll stop there.

(Probably not…)

There are so many places I want to see in my lifetime. I know I probably never will—but I can dream.

Okay, I warned you. I lied.

One last thing.

I’ve traveled many places in this magical world—just somehow managed to miss all of those.

Unfortunate, really.

I’ve been lucky enough to visit Canada, Jamaica, France, Italy, Germany, and Hungary more than once. I’ve eaten ostrich in Canada, frog legs—and even brain—in Budapest, all before graduating high school just days after my seventeenth birthday.

And yet somehow, I’ve seen more of the world than I have of my own country.

I’d like to change that.

Someday, maybe I’ll get the chance.
