DREAM TRIP 5: BORA BORA

If there is ever a dream trip - it’s Bora Bora! Bora Bora Island lies right in the middle of the South Pacific ocean and is the most favored French Polynesia island. What makes this island extremely special is that Bora Bora was contrived by a volcano millions of years ago. It is also encompassed by the coral reef which makes this little island incredibly gorgeous and wonderous. Bora Bora makes a dream trip because it's situated within a remarkable lagoon which entices many travelers far and wide. Its stunning landscapes, beautifully warm climates, white sands and blue waters makes it an incredible destination. It is a paradise island which attracts many travelers and honeymooners alike. One specific breath-taking attraction is Mount Otemanu which emerges from the sea like an emerald jewel. It is a sight to behold and a must-see if you venture out to Bora Bora. Planning a dream trip? seriously consider this fabulous island.

DREAM TRIP 6: ITALIAN RIVIERA

The Italian Riviera is one of the most exquisite places to take a dream trip in Europe. The Italian Riviera stretches from the Ligurian sea on the Italian/French border to the border of Tuscany. Along this short but stunning coastline, pretty villages line the coastal strip that make the Italian Riviera one of the most attractive places to visit in the world.

The Riviera is a slice of heaven and a favorite for local Italians to venture to with good reason. Our favorite village on this wonderful stretch of coastline is a small but robust fishing town that goes by the name of Portofino. It is one of the most charming and gorgeous villages in Italy and is well renowned. Even though modest in size - it packs a punch in style, beauty and is effortlessly chic. Attracting a wealth of celebrities, yachts and dapper travelers - Portofino earns its right to being the most popular and sought after dream travel destination within the Italian Riviera.
