Three Things Thursday: Around the World

There hasn't been much to report as of late, so I figured I would post some photos of places where I have traveled. I love to travel. I enjoy exploring the world and experiencing different cultures. I haven't gone overseas nearly as often as I would like, but I am hoping that Jarrod and I will be able to in the future.

So, for today's "Three Things Thursday," here are three international cities that I loved visiting:

1. Florence, Italy

Florence is, by far, my favorite city that I have visited. If you are ever planning to travel to Italy, you must make a stop in Florence. I would absolutely love to live there one day. It is unbelievably beautiful and has a vast amount of sites to see, such as the Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo and Michelangelo's David.

2. Placencia, Belize

A little town in the southern part of Belize, Placencia is extremely peaceful and relaxing. It is quite small and the locals are so friendly. Jarrod and I went here for our honeymoon, and I think it was the perfect spot to vacation. There are a number of excursions you can do, such as tour Monkey River, scuba dive, explore Mayan ruins, zip-line through the rainforest and cave-tubing. Or you can relax on the beach and drink pina coladas. Either way works!

3. Willemstad, Curacao

Curacao is a Dutch colony off the Venezuelan coast. Not many people have heard of this island. There isn't a whole lot of sights to see, but Willemstad is so beautiful and there are tons of shops and beaches. My favorite part of this city was the architecture and the floating bridge.
