Italy
Italy is one of the places I want to visit before I die, I love the culture, it interests me, and I want to learn more about it. Also I love cooking, so I want to learn about their food, most Italians seem to be so passionate about cooking. I’ve been afraid to go into the ocean, so I’d like to break my fear and learn how to surf, and maybe go scuba diving, just to see all of the vibrant colors, and animals that live there.
