Mexico

Mexico is an excellent place for a vacation. The country is vast, which means there are many different potential places you can visit.

France

Viva La France! Let’s take a trip down to Europe now. France is one of those countries that is often romanticized and is a dream destination for people across the globe. In particular, it is the capital Paris that is romanticized. While Paris is amazing, you should perhaps lower your expectations, just so you’re not let down. There is something known as Paris Syndrome, which is the sensation that happens when tourists are let down. It’s a real thing!

Instead, why don’t you explore the unique countryside of France, and in particular, the French Riviera? There is not only beauty here, but also culture. The Cannes Film Festival can be found here, and this falls in the top three of the most searched festivals in the US.
