Paro Taktsang was built in the 17th century. It is situated at 10,236 feet (3,120 meters). It is also known as the "Tiger's Nest". It is one of 13 Tiger's Nest caves in historical Tibet in which Padmasambhava practiced and taught. The monastery is said to have been founded by Padmasambhava, who flew to the site on the back of a winged tigress and meditated there for 3 years, 3 months, 3 weeks, 3 days and 3 hours.

Answer: Milford Sound, New Zealand

Milford Track is one of New Zealand's most popular multi-day walks. After a trek of 32 miles, (which must be completed in four days) the track ends at Milford Sound, part of Fiordland National Park. The fiord is dominated by Mitra Peak (5,522 feet) (1,683 meters).

Formally known as Petrograd and later Leningrad, St, Petersburg is the second largest city in Russia. The city was founded by Tsar Peter the Great on the site of a captured Swedish fortress. Architecturally it is one of the most splendid cities in Europe. We will be sure to visit The Hermitage, one of the world's great museums.

5. A spectacular volcano Hallasan (6,398 feet) has bequeathed this island with black-sand beaches, over 300 craters and verdant jungle. Where is this pristine island?

Answer: Jeju Island, South Korea

There are so many flights from Seoul to Jeju Island, it is considered the world's busiest air route. In 2011 the island was named as one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature. For lunch we can try haemultang, a spicy seafood stew. It is cooked right in front of you and everything is alive when they start cooking. Yes, octopus, clams, muscles, scallops, abalone and crab.

Not for the faint of heart!

Answer: Santorini, Greece

Approximately 3600 years ago one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in history occurred. Its collapsed caldera makes up the island of Santorini. The sunset in the village of Oia is not to be missed.

Answer: Bali, Indonesia

Waterfalls abound, stunning temples and beautiful beaches. We need to be alert for there is a band of sneaky monkeys that are known to snatch up hats, purses and glasses. Uluwatu Temple is a must see.

Answer: Seville, Andalusia, Spain

We must see the Real Alcosar de Sevilla (The Royal Palace) and the impressive Saville Cathedral. The architecture of the Muslims and the Christians is over the top.

Answer: Croatia

The park has been divided into two sections, the Upper Lakes and the Lower Lakes, based on their geological features. The twelve Upper Lakes were formed on impermeable dolomite rock. The four Lower Lakes were formed in permeable limestone and cut deep into a canyon amid dramatic cliffs. Veliki Slap is also known as the Great Waterfall.

At 78 m high, it is the tallest waterfall not only in the park, but in all of Croatia.

Answer: Bodega Bay, California

All you Hitchcock fans should remember this town from "The Birds". Actually, this film was the first horror/sci-fi movie. Bodega Bay is a small village with fewer than 1,000 residents, but its beauty and otter pelts enticed the Russians to build a small outpost there in 1807.
