Where would you go if you had 30 days to visit any 5 cities in the world?

Perhaps you’d visit family around the globe or maybe you’d check five new continents off your travel to-do list.

What about me? Well I have quite of few places on this planet on my to-do list but I’ve got a few ideas. One would be a round-the-world journey through the Southern Hemisphere. In my vision, it would go a little something like this:

Destination #1: Santiago, Chile

Off to the the high-altitude urban escape, Santiago is the cultural, business, and entertainment epicenter of Chile. With sandy beaches and snowy ski slopes in close proximity, Santiago offers something for every taste.

Accommodations: Radisson Blu Santiago La Dehesa

Destination: Cape Town, South Africa

Next stop, is Cape Town, one of the top destinations on the African continent. Cape Town offers a cosmopolitan city in a Mediterranean climate; the southernmost large city in all of Africa. Adventure awaits right outside the city with Table Mountain and a variety of wildlife both on land and in the sea. Swim with Great White Sharks, anyone?

Accommodations: Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront, Cape Town

Destination: Poste Lafayette, Mauritius

A few hours flight off the coast of Mozambique and the African continent, my next stop would be the Mauritius. This lesser known tropical destination is an absolute paradise. A former Dutch and then French colony, I could probably spend all day lounging on the white sandy beaches. But if the beaches aren’t enough for you, head inland for hiking and wildlife spotting.

Destination: Sydney, Australia

Leaving Mauritius behind, Australia’s largest city would be my next stop. I don’t know many people wouldn’t dream of a trip to Australia. And there’s no limit of awesome things to see and do in Sydney. Lean to surf at Bondi Beach? Climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge? Head outside the city to explore the unique wildlife of Australia?

Destination: Denarau Island, Fiji

And for the final stop, I’d find myself on one last island paradise: Fiji! This is one of those destinations I’ve dreamed about since I was very young. Just a few hours flight from Sydney, Fiji is a popular destination for Australians but a bit more exotic for us Americans. What to do? Charter a sea-plane to visit a few uninhabited islands or take a kayak out for a day on the water. Or, if you just feel like lounging on the beach, that’s OK too!
