She
May be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She
May be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day
She
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

Everybody travel for different reasons or purposes and being a student/personnel deeply involved in the field of travel and tourism, we are constantly stimulated by THE ONE question: What attracts a person to travel/choose a particular destination to go to/visit?
Well, I always say this and that is i can only speak for myself.
I travel because certain destination(s) intrigue and invoke my interests with their deep culture, people and history, it makes me wonder at the past and remind me to cherish the present more so than ever. Some destinaton(s) 'wow' me with their beauty and I want to share beautiful moments with certain special someone(s), some destination(s) seems to be oozing with fun and laughters that I know my friends and I will enjoy each other(s)' company and some destination(s) are great to escape to (for a short while) wi th their serenity when life gets you down. Some destination(s) may attract and intrigue friends of mine who are looking for company and I would be happy to join (since i like the idea of travel and tourism so much).
As such, below is MY list of Top Ten (must-go) travel destinations: (Anybody wanna join?:) Not in order of Preference 'xcept destination no.1 Greek Parthenon (Giclee Print) 01. Greece (Esp. Mt.

The Old Guitarist, 1903
If thou must love me, let it be for nought Except for love's sake only.
Do not say, I love her for her smile, her look, her way of speaking gently, for a trick of thought that falls in well with mine, and, certes, brought a sense of pleasant ease on such a day.
For these things in themselves, Beloved, may be changed, or change for thee- and love so wrought, may be unwrought so.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
