When Lost Girl Brittany Gotschall wrote to share some of the places that she’d already visited by her early 20s, we had to tip our caps. When it comes to the sheer number of passport stamps and miles traveled, she’s almost got the three original LGss beat! Since she’s she’s quite a seasoned vagabond, we figured she could handle our super-simple travel challenge: To come up with a short list of her five destination and her reasons why. Picking favorites wasn’t easy, but Brittany handled our request like a champ!  ****** In my short 25 (almost) years I have been fortunate enough to visit some of the most beautiful places in the world. As most of you fellow travel enthusiasts have most likely come to realize, traveling becomes addictive and, for me, it’s what makes the mundane responsibilities of everyday life a little more exciting.  I have truly loved every place I’ve ever visited, so when I sat down to think about a “Top 5” it was really difficult for me to narrow it down. The places I chose each offered me a glimpse into a completely different way of life and reminded me how much there is to see and experience. Keep in mind these aren’t in any particular order—there’s no way I could pick a favorite! 1. Beijing, China I visited Beijing in 2006, right after graduating college and before I got a job.
