Story telling contests series "I have pinned my dream destination" story#5 author Gabija Lidytė

 Most of us dream of someday visiting every inch of the world to see all kinds of culture, architect, animals, and landscape. But several people set their destinations to see known and beloved places, and I think that lots of people make a mistake. Because in my opinion places that have little to no tourists are the gem in finding a perfect place to travel. That's why I wish to visit the island of Budelli.

Italy, for a long time, has been my most favourite place on earth. I very much enjoy their language and culture. So, I'm not surprised that it would be my dream destination. Although I wish to visit it one day, I always feel that I won't explore Italy if I went there. All the time I would be brought to places that tourists love to explore, where it's crowded. There is a language barrier too and because of that, I won't have a chance to go out to the market or calmer places in the city. I wanted to find a place that would let me experience Italy with fewer people and fewer tourist places.

The island of Budelli is the perfect place for this. It is a beautiful island that was a popular place to visit, but now fewer and fewer people visit it. On the island, there are no buildings, no shops, no cars, no people, nothing. It is empty, just filled with nature and surrounded by blue waters. It is the perfect place to stay for a day or two. If I could live there I probably would, and I would be very happy about it. I wish to visit there someday, to experience the quietness around me and to hear the ocean waves. I think a lot of people need a place like Budelli to help them to relax.

As much as we like to dream about traveling, there's always going to be one important question to answer. How in the world are we going to get there? I thought about it and came up with a plan. There are some cheap flights that you can book, just need to find which month they sell them the cheapest. Airbnb is cheaper than a hotel, plus there are easy to find and rent them online. Those places always have an exact address, so it will be easy for a taxi driver to know where it is. And lastly, there are ship rides to nearby islands that are popular with tourists, so it's easy to get there.

The best advice that I could give is to know what you are looking for on travel holidays. If you like crowded places, do you prefer animals to architecture and so on. Because then you can truly find the

best places for you to visit and have a lovely time there. The best is to learn about your likes before traveling and always think about yourself first then about what is popular".
