So, here are the top 10 places you decided to dream about in 2020, hoping to visit in 2021. Here’s hoping you can visit them all very soon.

1. Borders, St. Elizabeth Jamaica

Borders, St. Elizabeth is one of my favorite spots in Jamaica. Most people will go to Montego Bay, Negril or Ocho Rios, but the south coast of Jamaica which is where Borders is located is a hidden gem of my island home. It is also close to where I grew up in the parish of St Elizabeth It’s a place where you can get local food freshly made or dug up everyday, or plucked from the ocean. The local are friendly and the food is good. It’s more than good.

Borders is located on the border of the parishes of Westmoreland and St. Elizabeth on the A2 highway which is on the southern coast of the island.

I visited Romania a few years ago and fell in love with it all over again. My first time there I had only been to Bucharest, but this time I had a chance to visit a lot more of the country including this fort deep into the country. I think you’ll enjoy your visit when you do get there.

4. 45th Parallel Marker, Torch Lake, Michigan USA

I’m a little weird with the travel things that fascinates me, but so are a some of you :-), as you also liked the 45th parallel. But, you have to admit, it its kind of cool :-).

6. Holland Bamboo, St. Elizabeth Jamaica

When you check out Borders above, you should carry on down the road a piece as they say in Jamaica to Holland Bamboo. The parish of St. Elizabeth has so many gems. Don’t miss this one.

7. Hobbs, New Mexico USA

Here I am in a Stock Car. They race these at nights nearby.

For some reason, I always wanted to go to Hobbs, NM. It’s a quaint town and its all about oil. There are derricks everywhere and if you want to get away from people and be with nature, this is perhaps the place.

8. Fiumicino, Italy

Most people who go to Rome flies into the airport that bears the name of this city, Fiumicino. But they never visit the town. Instead they head straight to Rome. But, you should take a little time to explore Fiumicino. I promise you, you won’t be disappointed.

9. St. Ann’s Head, Pembrokeshire, Wales United Kingdom

St. Ann’s Head, Pembrokeshire Wales

Guarding one of the Atlantic entrances, to Wales, the Lighthouse at St. Ann’s Head is a sight to behold. The views are breathtaking, there is a coastal walk and the wind will take your breath away. It’s totally worth visiting.

10. Mile Zero, Singapore

The Fullerton in Singapore sits at the start of Singapore, hence the name Mile Zero. The mile marker literally starts counting here.
