So I am a bit of a travel bug and cannot get enough of travelling. I want to hit each continent and have around 60 countries on my visit list(I have made it to 10 so far). And so far each has been great for their own reasons.

My top 3 would be Taipei, Taiwan, Sevilla, Spain, and Genova, Italy(in no particular order).

Where was your favorite country you have visited?

    Well, outside of Canada, the only other country I have visited is the Island of Tobago! And it was lovely! The lifestyle is very uncomplicated and the people were friendly. I mostly camped out on beaches the locals turned us on to!

    I live in the U.S. I've only been out of the country once, except Canada, but that doesn't count. I went to Panama a couple of months ago, it wasn't on my list of places to visit, but I loved it! I really want to go to Italy.

    Hmmm...not sure what my faves would be. Loved Italy, France, England, West Indies, and of course Germany (I lived there). Actually, I enjoyed every country I've visited, and there were many. I'd love to visit more.

    Omg I havent had a good curry in forever! Only one place while I was in the UK that I could get a decent masala(must have been the town I was in) Though I think I must visit India to have real curry :D I enjoyed France(Paris was good Nice was better). And I have been missing hanging out in St Petersburg, Ru though not too much.

    I am still trying to decide if I want to go back abroad after I graduate. Hard decision between starting life and having fun :D

    I've been to almost 30 countries, but I'm so addicted to travelling and that amount feels like nothing XD
    My favourites are Amman - Jordan, New York - USA, and Mayrhofen - Austria.
    I currently live in Jordan but I'm from the UK.
    Adore this place, specifically for the people. And food! Ah curry :heart: :love:

    I think you need to narrow it down to a specific topic - like favorite country/city visited for food, museums, beaches...

    I haven't covered an entire country well enough to be a judge but some favorite cities...

    London - Museums and Art!

    Paris - Food, enough said

    Brussels - Waffles. Just Leige waffles

    Amsterdam - the Museums. (I know people think of Amsterdam for other reasons, but seriously you go into a museum that has a Rembrandt the size of my entire apartment wall and it's just an unbelievable experience).

    I got kicked out of the London Museum because of the Elgin marbles. Hehehehehehe.

    Greece, France, and England are my top 3, but I find beauty in every country I visit. There's not one I disliked.

    It is more how the overall time was spent. Like I said, each country Ive been to was great in their own unique way but there were some that were better overall compared to others

    My fondest memories are of Japan - with Australia as a close second! :smile:

    Latvia or Russia. Latvia, Riga in particular, felt like an enchanted fairy tale land. St. Petersburg, Russia, held so much beauty in architecture and culture.

    Just sad.

    Why? Ive honestly never left the country, and Texas as an answer was very appropriate....but getting that, was probably a Texan thing. ;):)
