My Dream Places to Travel

I do not just want to travel to random places. I want places that feel like something. Moody. Cinematic. A little magical. A little quiet. Some of these are for the vibes. Some are for nostalgia. And some are because I romanticize everything.

1.🇯🇵 Okinawa, Japan

I want to go here so bad. The water is so clear it does not even look real. It feels peaceful and soft but still rich in culture. I love that it is not just big city Japan. It feels slower. I feel like I would romanticize my entire existence there.

2. 🌲 Portland, Oregon

This is literally my aesthetic in a city.

Multnomah Falls
Silver Falls State Park
Hopscotch Portland
Carver Cafe
Portland Japanese Garden
Cannon Beach
Powell’s City of Books
Voodoo Doughnut
McKenzie River Trail
Willamette National Forest
Stone Cliff Inn
Jackpot Records
Muteki Ramen

Portland feels like if forests and coffee shops had a baby. I want to hike in the morning and eat ramen at night. I want to stand in front of Multnomah Falls and just stare. It feels calm but creative at the same time.

3. 🌊 Tillamook, Oregon

This one is very specific.

The train tracks
Blue Moon Cafe
Cape Meares Lighthouse

It just feels like a coming of age movie. Windy. Quiet. Slightly dramatic. I want to stand near a lighthouse and rethink my life decisions for no reason.

4.🩸 Covington, Georgia

If you know, you know.

Mystic Grill
The Vampire Diaries Filming Locations

This is strictly for my The Vampire Diaries heart. I need to see the town square. I need to pretend I am in Mystic Falls. This is not negotiable.

5. 🕯 Salem, Massachusetts

I want to go in the fall when it is cold and dramatic. Salem feels spooky but also historical. I just know I would eat it up.

6. 🖤 New Orleans, Louisiana

Specifically Bourbon Street and the Vampire Cafe. The architecture, the energy, the music. It feels alive but haunted at the same time. That is my vibe.
