1. Iran - The friendliest people in the world and some
great sites to see.
2. Nepal and especially the Langtang Valley tre from
Dunche I loved it.
Beautiful scenery, friendly people and some culture!
My absolute favourite spot for time beeing is Iceland.
This country has all the character there is. Especially for
divers as me, diving between the two continents in ice cold
water. Diving with whales,
plus trekking...
Capitol Reykjavik is definitely a place to be on friday
evenings and nights...
In particular San Miguel, Azores. The people, culture,
arcitecture, and scenery is all very intruiging. The food
is very delicious too.
Right now - Id have to say Costa Rica. The rainforest,
birds, beaches its just great. I stayed with a coffee
farmer on the border of Monteverde - blissful!!
Very friendly people, delicious food, great nightlife, stunning mountains and valleys and plenty of well-preserved historical sites. ......and: Beirut is SAFE !!!!! night and day !!!
Have Fun !
Roel
It has been my first time in the rainforests, and I am
sure, that is the place, where mother nature was born
Great, it is on Penninsula del Osa
i love morocco
..is a beautiful country with the friendliest ppl in Asia.
Stunning rice terraces, white sand beaches, volcanoes,
rainforests and brilliant-blue water and coral reefs
surrounding coconut palm fringed islands.
Some of the cover-bands i have seen in Manila sound as good
as the original western singers and some guitarists are just
amazing.
I love them jeepneys.
... there is no land like Brazil ...
it is a magic place with special people ...
Great Barrier Reef Australia, if you love to dive and love
warm weather, put your head under the water and get lost in
another world - it's amazing and I've dived all over the
world.
Tell you what folks... you all can talk avout Australia,
about Tibet, about Morocco... but when I get the chance to
travel back to my mom's kitchen in Newton Massachusetts for
some MMM-MMM good home cooking... fuhgedaboutit! This is MY
HAnDS DOWN travel destination of all time!
I enjoy to travel and enjoy myself where ever I end up
traveling to - but most of all - after a very good
vacation I always feel the best after I have travelled back
home. Familiar bed. Familiar food. Familiar shower.
Romania. Fantastic scenery, the most hospitable people you
could ever meet, a pleasing lack of backpackers (you
couldn't say that about Nepal or India), and a good bit of
disorganisation, risk and spontaneity to spice things up!
British Columbia (and parts of Alberta). Great place for
outdoors stuff. great skiing----best powder anywhere.
Excellent moutain biking. Nice girls too....
It has to be Yemen. I think it has the most spectacular
scenery ever. The people are friendly (even whilst
kidnapping you). The north is beautiful but I prefer the
south with it's fascinating blend of all sorts of cultures
and people.
Second choice would be DR of Congo (former Zaire). Probably
not a good time for a visit these days but it is really
very beautiful and those people know how to party!!
My favourite place is Malaysia. The people are adorable,
the climate suits my taste and the culture's fascinating.
But of course Malaysia's not unique - it's just that my
experience was. I think it was those roti canais dengan
kari ikan (indian pancakes with fish curry), which
eventually stole my heart. Malaysia's a jewel, really.
Malaysia is one of my favourites too (all the excitement
and beauty and friendliness of SE Asia without the tummy
upsets). My other favourite is Jordan (great people and
Petra has to be the most amazing place I have been anywhere
in the world).
I've been to plenty of places on this earth but I would
probably pick the Annapurna Sanctuary in Nepal. The funny
thing is that I frequently ask this question of my fellow
travellers. While I've met many people on "the happy trail"
over the years, you might like this story....
two years back while I was in Lapaz Bolivia, an Englishman
that I was packing with tells me his Favorite spot after 2
1/2 years on the road was the same Annapurna Sanctuary.... I
rest my case (because this was not the first time someone
had selected the sanctuary).
....Enjoy
my favorite cities...new york and florence
countries...canada and italy
people...croatian
geography...canadian rockies
brilliant beer, women and an abundance of mc donalds. need
i say more !
Have a plan for travel this summer along Europe/Asia border
on foot about 4 weeks companions are welcome or it is too
cool?
