“Travel is never a matter of money but of courage.” - Paulo Coelho
To travel is to collect moments in life. Those who travel are the ones who won’t regret to miss out anything at all in life. If you are a travel addict and wants to leave your footsteps in the whole world, this is what you should start from.
Below is the list of top 10 countries that are a must in your travel bucket list:
10) Sweden
A lovely country which reaches as far north as the arctic fringes of Europe, Sweden is the third largest country in Western Europe. A land of diverse landscapes with frozen lands where glacier-topped mountains and the vast forest cover are broken only by pristine lakes, wild rivers and desolate moorland and a beautiful countryside surrounded by small villages.
