Places I want to go to...



I am going to talk about a few places that I would love to visit!
...

Fiji Islands
Fiji is an island group of more than 332 islands, of which 110 are permanently inhabited, and more than 500 islets, adding up to a total land area of 18,300 square kilometers. I would love to visit the Fiji Islands because the scenery is stunning and it is just so different from where I have ever been before! To me, this is what heaven looks like! The water is so clear, the trees are so green and everything just looks so vibrant. They have a population of 842,000 and they speak English, Fijian and Hindustani. This kind of place would totally be a relaxing holiday and it would be a world away from the daily routine at home! Did you know that in Fijian villages, only the chief can wear hats and sunglasses and that the top of the head is sacred and must not be touched?! Anyway, this place is definitely on my bucket list!
Borneo
Borneo is the third largest island in the world and the largest island in Asia. The island is divided among three countries: Malaysia and Brunei in the north, and Indonesia to the south. It has a total land area of 743,330 square kilometers of pure bliss. The Borneo Rainforest has an estimated age of 130 million years,making it the oldest rainforest in the world. I would love to visit here because of the views, but also what it has to offer. It would be amazing to trek through the rainforests and see the wildlife and see how special it is compared to the field next to my house!! I would love to see some orangutans that are not stuck in a cage and see them in the own environment, being happy. Borneo has the highest diversity of flora in the world with around 15,000 different species, just wow. I would never stop taking pictures! 


Madagascar
Madagascar is the world's fourth biggest island and most of its mammals, half of its birds and most of its plants exist nowhere else on earth. That is incredible. It seems like such a beautiful place to visit simply because it has so much that I have never seen before. I would love to walk down the Avenue of the Baobabs. I remember in year 7 I had to do a mini project on them and ever since then, I have wanted to see one in real life and also i have wanted to see the Lemurs of Madagascar! Madagascar has a current population of 24,792,727 people and sadly around 70% of the population are living below the national poverty line threshold of $1 per day. I would love to visit here and somehow make a difference in some way!
