    I have never travelled outside my own country but hopefully get to travel around Europe next year

    Once you're in Europe, travel is cheap to bounce around

    Northern India and Nepal, unforgetable.

    Riding around on the back of a moped in Vietnam sunset was also pretty amazing!

    Iceland - amazing scenery (and very good weather when I was there)

    Galapagos Islands and Antarctica.

    Galapagos is epic for the wildlife.

    Antarctica is epic for the extreme remoteness and the fact it's so untouched.

    I'm envious!

    I can't pick one... maybe I can go for a top 5

    Iceland in the winter - beautiful, so much to do and the weather just makes for more adventure
    London - Ok, so I live there now but once upon a time I was a tourist and there really is just so much to do (kept me busy for 6 touristy weeks!). Especially nice around Christmas time.
    Bangkok - A lot of people say it was their least favourite part of Thailand but I liked it a lot, I guess I'm a city girl!
    Oslo - Lovely city with very friendly locals - lots of water scenery
    And a tie between Venice and Nice, both beautiful with amazing food

    Honourable mention for Sydney but that's just a bit too much like home to make the list :)

    My least favourite was Paris when I first went but had a better time the 2nd time around and Greece.

    Berlin, Germany. It's the first city I've ever been to and thought "wow, I need to LIVE here, this city is me" the whole time I was there. And I've been to a lot of great cities.

    This totally! Chance would be a fine thing. Mind you The Great Wall was definitely worth the trip to China, and I can recommend that as well.

    Hisaronu & Fethiye in Turkey for relaxation and Ephesus and Pammukale for pure wow factor, steeped in history has great weather and is reasonably priced, off to Istanbul for a week in July before going off to Hisaronu to rejoin the wife and kids for 2nd part of summer hols (History and culture just does not interest her lol)

    I love Berlin too, also worth a trip to the Christmas markets!

    Hong Kong for me.... was born there and met my husband there - now live in Scotland but went back there last summer to take my teenage children so I could show them where I grew up. They loved it as much as I did. A bit of everything, culture, beaches, walking, food, shopping, temples, boat rides, dolphin watching, weather, food again!

    Would recommend to everyone if you can go -love it and will be back!

    Australia....it was a amazing. Aussies are super chilled and laid back. If you ever go don't waste a lot of time in Syndey. It is like every other major city. The country and a lot of cool places to visit

    I took a two month trip in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. After the cost of the flight...pretty inexpensive, really.

    umm

    I loved my trip from London to Venice on the Orient Express, it was ludicrously expensive, but SO worth it.
    Paris
    London
    The Nile
    Morocco
    Venice
    San Marino
    Australia
    Toronto
    hmmmm I should stop....I love everywhere I have been apart from Cairo, but I am glad I have been there

    Prague and Vienna.
  • Berlin!! Visited 3 times. My favorite place on this earth. Will find a way to live there some day.

    Runner up would probably be New Orleans. Most amazing, engaging, humble people I have ever met.

    South Dakota! Between exploring the Badlands to hiking in the forest and climbing in caves and being up in the mountains, it was perfect!
  • Well I wanted to go to Europe before I turned 30 and was having trouble planning it… then I remembered travel group that my ex mentioned (Contiki for 18-35 year olds) – Granted most people do it at the younger end of that age range but it was an amazing experience. 7 countries in 9 days (London, Amsterdam, Innsbruk Austria, Munich & Rhyne Vally Germany, Noale & Venice Italy, Lucern Switzerland and Paris), made some amazing friends from all over the world that I am still close with – and the ones I met from the US I see once or twice a year. It cost me close to 3 grand at the end but I went myself, I wasn’t going to miss it because I couldn’t find anyone who could afford it or get the time off. How many people can say they “raided’ a 15th century castle in Noale Italy at 2AM. :)

    I havent been many places but i did enjoy Dublin, Tenerife and Turkey. Wasnt so keen on cyprus or Corfu.

    Would love to go to Florida one day


    Go, Ireland! Next time you're here, go to Galway... it's the best city in Ireland!

    I've heard magnificent things about Galway so i shall put that on my list!

    LOVE Ireland! Spent a month there once. The people are great as well!

    LOVED Monte Carlo... Mediterranean is beautiful... there's a lot to see and do - great restaurants, great town for walking, 2 hour train ride to just about anywhere...

    oh yeah - and there's the idle rich playboys who give you money to gamble with... at least they did 20 years ago... :drinker:
  • Tiny village in the north of India, in Himachel Pradesh, I was teaching English to the kids and helping build up the school!! Ah memories!

    Monterey Peninsula - gorgeous scenery, lots to do outdoors and in, interesting towns, overall wonderful place to vacation.

    Tassajara Zen Center - Very remote, outstanding veggie cuisine, incredible scenery and natural beauty, hot springs, zens teaching zazen, and loaded with history. This is a place where a 24-hour period feels like weeks.

    I just went to Oahu in September last year and it was amazing. I was only there a week and wish I had more time to see all of the island, and maybe even island hop. It was my first in Hawaii and I can't wait to go back!
  • Several places for different reasons - I can't choose between Italy, Egypt, USA, India or the Maldives!!
