National Geographic author Abbie Kozolchyk just put out a book called "The World's Most Romantic Destinations," and she helps Bloomberg choose some of the best for a romantic proposal in case it's on your mind this Valentine's Day.

While Paris or Rome may be at the top of the list, what about Swedish Lapland?

"Remember the Ice Hotel? The one carved entirely out of ice that we told you about a few weeks ago? Turns out the staff is impressively adept at setting a romantic scene," Kozolchyk tells Bloomberg.

You could head to a more tropical destination - the Philippines.

"The Philippine archipelago of Palawan - which consists of almost 2,000 islands - has some of the best beaches in the world," writes Nikki Epstein.

Kozolchyk suggests a resort on Lagen Island.

And maybe Victoria Falls could be a good choice.

"You can pop the question on a viewing balcony, with the mists and moonbow as your backdrop," Kozolchyk tells Bloomberg.
