Hottest Travel Destinations

Sometimes figuring out the best place to go can be difficult. Here are some hottest travel destinations that

offer some of the most beautiful, artistic, and fashionable places on the globe.

Ibiza, Spain

While Ibiza is knownas a party city, there is far more to do in this historic town than simply drink and dance

under the stars. Built mainly in the second century, it’s a world heritage site with architecture dating back to as

early as the 7th century. Don’t miss Charo Ruiz, Ibiza’s most famous fashion brand. Plus, the Ibiza Fashion Festival

takes place every June.

Tangier, Morocco

Known as the “door to Africa”, Tangier has a rich and complex history dating back thirty centuries. It has all

the beauty of the natural world. After spending a morning sunbathing by the Mediterranean Sea, get in some

amazing shopping and discover great deals on everything. Before you head home, stop off in Marakesh to visit

some of the top Moroccan designers.

Havana, Cuba

Stepping onto the streets of Havana feels like stepping back in time. For a day of sightseeing, check out the

remaining architecture of Old Havana, which was built ten centuries ago. You can easily do it with one of the area’s

many walking tours. Or visit the Museum of Rum for a taste of the island’s most popular wine. You might come

across a clothing shop offering some classic finds!

Melbourne Australia

Built largely during the 1850s gold rush, Melbourne remains as alive as ever. Make sure to check out the

In 1990, Hal Donaldson was 23 years old, fresh out of college and found himself in Calcutta, India, where he

was asked to interview Mother Teresa.

Donaldson says about the great woman famed for feeding the hungry, “She wasn't wearing shoes and her

ankles were swollen. She sat down with me and was very polite.” After the interview, Mother Teresa asked him,

“What are you doing to help the poor?” Donaldson admitted that he was young and wasn't focused on helping

others. With a smile on her face, Mother Teresa said, “Everyone can do something.”

Those words deeply struck Donaldson and forced him to face some hard truths about himself.

Hal Donaldson grew up in the San Francisco Bay area. When he was 12 years old, his parents were hit by a

drunk driver; his father died, and his mother was seriously injured. To make ends meet, they went on welfare.

Donaldson says, “I had holes in my shoes and clothes. When you're teased at school for that, you just want to

escape.”

He managed to do just that. Donaldson got into college and turned his focus to making money for himself He

says, “I was just trying to find my way out of insignificance. However, it's easy to overlook others along the way. I

was the guy that would see a homeless person and cross the street, so I didn'thave to confront (面对) him. My

focus was on climbing to the top instead of helping those trying to climb with me.”

Donaldson returned home from India with a different thought. He traveled to eight cities in America and

stayed on the streets and listened tostories of the homeless. “My heart broke,” he says. “I knew I could no longer

just live for myself.”

Inspired by Mother Teresa's words and the stories he'd heard across America. Donaldson loaded a pick-up

truck with $300 worth of groceries and handed them out to anyone who needed help. In 1994, Donaldson created

the nonprofit organization, Convoy for Hope, which works with communities across America and around the world.

Their work focuses on feeding children, women's empowerment, helping farmers and disaster services. 4. What did 23-year-old Hal Donaldson do in India?

A. He attended an interview for a college. B. He fed the hungry with Mother Teresa.

C. He interviewed Mother Teresa. D. He did something to help the poor.
