I love to explore new places and learn about the history and culture of other countries around the world. I have never ventured outside of Europe so I would probably use the magic sleigh to do that. I’d probably pick a small island out in the middle of the ocean as wouldn’t be the easiest place to get to via muggle transportation without a million connections. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I reckon I’d maybe choose somewhere like Easter Island as it is home to the famous yet very mysterious statues and it would be great to see them in their home. I’ve seen one in a museum in the past, but it wouldn’t be the same as seeing them there. Anything historical and I’m there.

If I could go anywhere, I think I'd want to go to New York. I'm from the UK, and I visited NYC quite a few years ago, but I wasn't quite old enough to remember the details and take it all in. I'd love to go back now and experience all the tourist-y things. Additionally, my parents actually got engaged at the top of the Empire State building, so it would be really cool to go back there. I also love musical theatre so I would love the chance to see a Broadway show (or even just stand outside in Times Square because there's no way I could afford a ticket.)

If I could borrow the sleigh, the first place I would go is to Hawaii. Hawaii temperatures stay mostly nice year round. Also, I would like to explore a volcano. I mean not while it is erupting or anything like that, but maybe a dormant volcano. The ocean and beaches are also beautiful in Hawaii. I would like to visit The Big Island and also some of the smaller islands. They have have their own unique adventures and flora and fauna to see. Although I would go to Hawaii, that may be too warm a place for Gary to visit.

The first place that I would go to if I had access to the magic sleigh would be Greece as I am a huge fan of Ancient History and have been reading a lot about the history of Greece recently. I visited the island of Rhodes as a child, but I have not been back since and would love to see all of the historical sites, particularly in Athens, but also on the other islands and in the north of the country and into the Republic of Macedonia. This is mainly because my favourite historical figure is Alexander the Great and visiting sites that were part of his empire has been a goal of mine for a long time. The weather would also be a lot warmer at this time of year than where I am now (as I'm writing this there is snow on the ground), which might be another reason to take the sleigh there!

If I had magic sleight, the first place I would go would be the Netherlands as well as the England.

I don't know why, but I see that both countries are very beautiful and I really want to visit them. Other than that, there are lots of places that I want to visit there and some cultures that I really want to see in person. If possible, I want to learn about them in person too.

Besides that, in both countries there are schools that I really want to study there. Simple, but I really want to go to those two countries.

Without a shadow of a doubt, if I could borrow the magic sled, I would set my course straight for Ireland. I am of Irish ancestry and have always felt a kinship with it. For as long as I can remember, I have often been reduced to tears when I see pictures of it, and an inexplicable longing fills me. It's almost like I 'belong' there if that makes any sense at all.

In fact, years ago, my husband and I were at a Celtic Festival and many people had donated portraits of their Irish ancestors. This man that I had never met before came up to me and inquired about a certain portrait, stating that it looked exactly like me. Mind you, I am a grown woman, and the picture was of a young girl sitting by a cottage hearth. It literally took my breath away, it was so uncanny. If ever I do get to Ireland, I will try to find out more about the girl.

If I had the chance to ride a magical sleigh that I borrowed, I would take it to all of the places I wish I could go to. I would travel the world like a meteor zooming across the solar system. I’d go to warmer places like Alicante in Spain, my home country and beautiful, snowy places like the Arctic. I would take the chance to visit wonderful, surreal locations like the Northern Lake Baikal Russia and just really beautiful art museums with interactive displays- I think that would be pretty cool.i would get here using a map with marked locations so I know where to go and how to get there. It may be a magical sleigh, but I still need to know what to do if I get lost. I’ll return the sleigh like normal as if nothing happened and apologise if anyone finds out. I know, it’s a bit mischievous BUT I’ll still get to travel to my favourite and most glorious places where I haven’t experienced anything even close to it.

This might be a very trite response, but bear with me.

The first place I'd go to is Brazil.

In order to properly explain why, we need to begin with a brief explanation about my life. I am Brazilian, but currently live in Japan (the country where I am currently getting my PhD). I have been separated from most of my childhood friends and experiences, and only very recently was able to see my parents again after two years and a half of separation.

If I were given the chance to visit anywhere in the world, I would love to tour around the places where my memories of the past reside. I also would relish the opportunity of taking my friends and close family with me on this trip, and make sure that we can have the best time possible together. For that reason, my first stop would definitely be Brazil.

I agree with Louis and I would surely travel to a place where I have always wanted to go to. In my case, my dream is to see Taj Mahal in real life. I have always wanted to go to India but the cost of the plane tickets has always been something out of my pocket. Also, I am not a huge fan of flying and so being stuck in a giant metal bird for over 16h does not seem nice to me. Therefore, with the use of the magical sleigh I could travel in a few seconds to India.

I always wanted to go around the coast of Iceland, see the whales and enjoy the beauties of this country. I have always loved Iceland's panorama and seeing it all in real life is a dream of mine. Since I do not have much time, nor money for such a thing, with the use of the magic sleigh, I would certainly want to go and finally make my true dream come true. I would want to take my husband with me, perhaps my children if we could all fit onto the sleigh. The sleigh is magical, so we probably should!

I would most likely head to Ireland or Norway. Although it's so cold, I find it very beautiful there. It seems like a place that is not only harsh to live in but extremely peaceful. I love the green landscapes of Ireland and the snowy whites of Norway in their selected seasons. The history is also exceptionally fascinating to me. How people live and survive to this day with cultures. I come from a warm climate to the south of the world. Finding out how people live in these lands is so peaceful and interesting to me. It would seem like magic if we ignore the fact that I got there on a magic sleigh.

If I had the chance to “borrow” the magic sleigh and fly anywhere in the world, I would fly straight to Italy. I am fascinated by Italian culture and it is on my bucket list of places to see. The country is known for its glorious landscapes, rich history, and divine foods. In fact, Italian food is my top reason for wanting to go there. Sure, we have Italian food in America, but is it really authentic? I need to find out for myself! Their vibrant art pieces intrigue me as well. Italy is famous for the artists it has produced. Ahh, to see the work of Leonardo daVinci or Michelangelo in person would be a dream come true. There are just so many things I want to see and places I want to visit in Italy. I am not sure 1 night would be enough for me!

If I could go anywhere in the world on the magic sleigh, I would go to the Galápagos Islands. I have a degree in evolution, so I have learned a lot about the Galápagos, specifically about the animals that live there and the role they played in Darwin's theory. The Galápagos are on the top of my travel bucket list. It would be absolutely amazing to see the animals in the flesh and see the islands with my own eyes after learning so much about them. They are extremely hard to get to, mainly because many animal residents are endangered so the islands are protected. They do tours around the islands, but they can be very expensive (even getting to Ecuador is pricey!). Luckily, magic sleighs are free! I would make sure to not disturb the animals and plants that live there - that may mean not stepping foot on certain islands. The magic sleigh would allow me to do that!

If I could borrow the sleigh and go anywhere in the world, it would be the Maldives! It's such a beautiful, magnificent place. The ocean is clear and clean. There's coral and living things like sharks and fish there. There's the great big mountains and the warm, sandy beach. The people there are so lovely. I could feed sharks, go snorkelling (and scuba diving) and try declicious new foods- and of course, relax on the beach. I once tried surfing in an aqua park and now I want to try it in real life! The Maldives is a great place for that! I have also always wanted to try coconut water, especially straight from a coconut shell. To sum this all up, the Maldives are irresistible with its white beaches, turquoise sea, blue lagoons, colourful marine life and many palm trees.
