]]> Everyone knows that if you really want to make your wishes come true you must visit the Trevi Fountain in Rome, and throw a coin in.

As one of the most beautiful fountains, this monument has been around since 19th century B.C. at the time of the aqueducts. Since the fountain’s day of conceivement there have been many sculptures and improvements added throughout the centuries resulting in the Trevi Fountain we have grown to love today.

Trevi Fountain’s magic has been featured in several films, such as Three Coins in the Fountain and Roman Holiday, but it is not the only fountain that could make your wishes come true.

If you can’t make it to Rome, there are gorgeous fountains all over the world perfect for wishing, including The Fountain of Wealth in Suntec City, Singapore (the largest fountain in the world), Gefion Fountain in Copenhagen, and the Peterhof Fountains in St. Petersburg.

The actual tradition of throwing coins into fountains began centuries ago when ancient Romans explorers would throw coins into fountains in order to favor the water gods before long sea voyages!

]]> Easter Isle stands as a historic cultural site off the coast of Chile. The statues otherwise known as moai may look familiar to you but the wonder of this UNESCO site is unfathomable without seeing the monumental sculptures in person. There are still over 7,000 residents on Easter Isle to this day and a majority of the population are descendants from the Rapa Nui people who first built the hundreds of moai. The first evidence of settlement on the island by indigenous peoples dates back to around 700 AD. When visiting the island you are able to feel the deep history of its people and sense the legacy carried on by the current inhabitants and landscape.

Easter Isle is a true testament of a world heritage site, now protected to ensure its long existence. Visitors are able to visit the island in guided and much more conciensence ways in order to have the least degradative environmental and cultural impact on the island and its many wonders.
