This morning, I came across this article on the Yahoo homepage about the "Top 10 Cities for Shopaholics". One of my favorite things to do when I travel is to shop. Its ironic because I don't quite like shopping in stores at home, but when I travel, it is my absolute favorite activity. I love looking for those one of a kind finds that can only be found at your destination, and that no one else back home will have. Its also a pleasant reminder of my time spent at that destination.
The cities that made the top 10 are:- Paris, France
- Bangkok, Thailand
- Buenos Aires, Argentina
- Copenhagen, Denmark
- Hong Kong, China
- London, UK
- Los Angeles, California
- Marrakech, Morroco
- New York City, NY
- St. Barts, Caribbean
Its quite an impressive list, and I love that the list contains countries across the world, so theres something for everyone. If I could add one more destination to that list, it would be somewhere in Italy, as there is a great mix of shopping there and also because their leather is the best in the world.
