When it comes to traveling, I’ve traveled to many places in my lifetime. I have traveled to and through 38 of the 50 states in America and even visited parts of Mexico and Canada while I was at it. Since I live in the South Pacific region, I have had wonderful traveling experiences thanks to church mission trips, government youth events and school-related activities all over the Oceania region from Australia to New Zealand to Tonga to Fiji to Tahiti to Cook Islands and more.
It wasn’t until I studied art history with my Aunty Reggie Meredith at ASCC where I was introduced to the architecture, sculptures and art forms in Italy, Greece, Spain, France and England that I found myself desiring to go there solely to see these amazing works of art. I thought I was satisfied with my traveling stories to some exotic and interesting places around North America and the South Pacific, but I was extremely wrong.
Here are my top 5 places that I am extremely excited to visit some day:
London, England
Big Ben in London
Berlin, Germany (mostly to discover my great-grandfather’s roots)
The city of Berlin, Germany where my great-grandfather was born many many moons ago
Rome & Venice, Italy
One day I will ride one of these in Venice, Italy
How awesome would it be to visit the Coliseum in Rome, Italy where many Christians were tortured and killed for the sake of the Gospel of my Jesus.
Athens, Greece
One of the many sites I would love to see in Greece
Levuka, Fiji – Even though I’ve been to Fiji, I have never been to my grandfather’s birthplace. I would love to be able to go and see where my great-grandparents are buried and discover more family history here.
Levuka, Ovalau, Fiji where my grandfather was born and raised.

This is a nice post. You’re so lucky to have traveled to such lovely places. I hope to be able to accomplish this goal especially to Fiji.
Thank you. You would love Fiji 🙂 It’s a beautiful blend of island and somewhat city life.
I’m impress every time I see photos of this island.
I think visiting Fiji would be amazing!
The main island is actually a very beautiful place. The part of Fiji I want to visit is separate from the main island which is Viti Levu. I think you would find Fiji absolutely invigorating 🙂
As a young girl, I had only been away from our Texas farm once that I remember, and then I married and have not been back since. Be careful what you dream.
