As I sit at my desk thinking about what to do for my blog for my digital marketing class, I look out my window to see it pouring rain and dread the thought of having to venture outside later on today into the cold, wet, miserable weather. I love Cork, it will always be my home but I can’t help to think about the places out there where you can actually put your jackets away for a few months of the year..... then all of a sudden I decided what i’m about to spend the next few weeks writing about in my blog- “Places I want to see before I die”.
The place on the top of my list is most definitely Australia, more specifically the Great Barrier Reef. I think it’s the scuba diving in the warm clear waters that attracts me most. Tourism in this region generates 1 billion Australian dollars per year. The reef is home to a vibrant assortment of sea creatures, including dolphins, fish, sharks and turtles- sounds like a scene from Finding Nemo! It contains the world’s largest collection of coral reefs, with 400 types of coral and 3000 individual reef systems and literally hundreds of picturesque tropical islands with some of the worlds most beautiful sun-soaked, golden beaches. ( sounds almost too good to be true)
It seems like a different world to that outside my window a the moment but hopefully one day i’ll be able to tick it off my list of places I want to see before I die.
