27 Sites to See Before We Die

I was browsing through the August 16-22, 2012 issue of The Foreign Post when I came across its travel section with the "Best Places to See and Explore" article. The article awakened the gypsy spirit in me. Nature trips would always be my cup of tea had I've been born with silver platters so to speak. 

Well, being penniless is no longer a hindrance these days that technology is at its height. What's the purpose of the Internet if it won't bring us to those places even virtually?

Ever-born a wanderer with the unfathomable wander lust, the tiger can't help but start the site-seeing spree.

You guessed right. I was able to explore these places with just the click of a button and a 1 Mbps Internet connection. Not bad huh. 

Posted in The Foreign Post, below are the amazing places that CNN identified so far. Photos shown are sourced out from the various websites while I was having my grand virtual tour.
