Honestly, I am torn between the two because both have their own charm. I have been to the mountains a couple of times, and I absolutely loved climbing up and taking in the breathtaking views from the top. Having said that, I have never seen the sea with my own eyes, so it's high on my bucket list. I would love to run along the shore, feel the water splashing around me, watch the sunset, and enjoy the sea breeze blowing through my scarf. I think that would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
