If you won the lottery tomorrow, where are you travelling to?

The lottery has been a big topic recently because the total payout made it all the way up to the billions!  A question amongst the travel community has been, if you were to win the lottery, where would you travel. 

1. South Africa

My first thought when I saw this question is hands down. I would go to South Africa.  South Africa is on my list not only because of Nelson Mandela, but because there are so many different aspects to South Africa. You have penguins, mountains, beaches, safaris and history.  There is something for everyone. South Africa would definitely be the first place that I would want to visit. 

2. Japan

The second place that I would travel to is Japan. I'm. very interested in going to Japan because of the technology advancements, landscape and customs. Last year, my students introduced me to a show where the kids in Japan walk around and they are complete tasks .... independently. The kids were sometimes as young as two years old. This definitely piqued my interest and made me wonder about the culture and the safety of the of the country. The history geek within me is also interested in seeing the remains from World War 2 and the infamous cherry blossoms. 

3. Senegal

African Renaissance Monument

 One of the main reasons that I went to Jamaica was to visit Emancipation Park and see the Redemption Song sculpture. One of the main reasons that I want to go to Senegal is to see the African Renaissance monument. I'm also very interested in Senegal because it was a key place when it came to slavery. Senegal was a major base for European slavery with Goree island containing The House of Slaves and the Door of No Return. There are a couple of sites and experiences that I would like to partake in Senegal. While there are often deals to various locations in Africa, I have not been able to find any deal to Senegal. So, Senegal is one of those places where I'm just going to have to suck it up and pay the full price. Winning the lottery would definitely help with that. 😄 

4. Singapore

I really wanted to go to Bali and some kind of way my computer went to Singapore, and I ended up going down a rabbit hole. Once I dug myself out, Singapore was added to my list of places that I would go to if I suddenly became rich.  Singapore has some of the cleanest cities in the world ..... the WORLD Craig. The country also boasts the worlds best airport ..... the WORLD Craig.  I have read that Singapore is also a foodie's dream location and yall know how much I love food.  If win the lottery next week just know that a trip to Singapore would be high on my list. 

5. Australia

Number five on my list would be to visit Australia. I really want to go to all the continents. Right now. I have visited at 4 (Africa, South America, Europe and North America) out of the 7. So, a trip to Australia would definitely be key. Now in a rare occurrence, Scott's aka GOING had a deal to Australia that truly was a once in a lifetime deal. However, the dates for the deal coincided with the deal that I got for Paris. So, I missed out 😠. I'm so sad about that. It was from Miami to Australia for around $800 roundtrip which is a big deal because tickets, especially from Florida to Australia are very, very expensive. Previously I have looked into flying to California first and then going to Australia which was more affordable but still pricey depending on the time of year. So long story made short, I missed out on that deal. Therefore, if I were to win the lottery (first I have to play 😂) these are the places that I would travel to first. 

Where would you go? Let me know.
