New York

A final place I've always felt was 'good' is New York. According to a fairly recent song, it is where dreams are made of, and you can't argue with Alicia Keys. Everything I know about New York is from television, film, and the aforementioned song and I sort of like that. I would also like to think that if I were to go there, it would be like it is on TV. But it's a place I'd be really interested to see, and know more about.

The Grand Canyon

Although the Grand Canyon featured in my inspiring places post, I had originally put it down as a seperate location all together.

The Grand Canyon is a place that popped into my head because to me it's one of the most appealing things America has to offer, and one place that I would really like to visit. As a naturally occuring formation of rock it just seems impossible, hence why it may be regarded as such an amazing place.

1950s America

America apparently in it's prime, a place I would have been very interested to see.

Somewhere inspiring.

To start this I simply searched inspiring places in google and I got a list...

1. Jerusalem
2. The Taj Mahal // India
3. Machu Picchu // Peru
4. Pyramids of Giza // Egypt
5. Sistine Chapel // Vatican city
6. Great Wall of China
7. Venice // Italy
8. Great Barrier Reef // Australia
9. Grand Canyon // America
10. Acropolis // Athens, Greece
11. Igazu Falls // Argentina
12. Bali // Indonesia
13. Mount Everest // Nepal
14. Amazon Rainforest // South America
15. Amalfi Coast // Italy
16. Yellowstone National Park // America
17. San Francisco Bay // America
18. Bora Bora // French Polynesia
19. Rome // Italy
20. Chichen Itza // Mexico

These are obviously very costly inspirational locations that a lot of people will never get to see, but I like the idea that they are inspirational. It is interesting to see what makes somewhere inspirational. The thing that I liked most about this idea is that every person has a different inspirational place, so it would be good to see everyone elses.


Sweden

Sweden is a country I have been to on numerous occasions and I still feel I hardly know anything about it. Every time I go it manages to surprise me. It is also a beautiful country where it's almost difficult to take a bad picture. Incredible scenery and a totally different way of life.

Sweden is also a very trendy country and have a huge amount of influence on the design world, so I felt it made sense to choose it as a place to research...
