Dreaming of traveling! How many counties have you been in?

[Just4fun00]

I am missing traveling! Would love to to read your list and what was your favorite. There is something about jumping on a plane and discovering something new. I have traveled to Bolivia, Thailand, Kenya, Mexico, Hong Kong and China, England, Holland and of course the states(14).

I think England might have been my favorite. Love Cornwall and Wales. The food was good and the people were fantastic. Perhaps the friendliest place was Thailand. Of course the “message” was wonderful!

Canada:

I can't say where I like best. I love it all, I just enjoy new experiences.

I have traveled almost all over Europe. But the dream is Thailand.

 

[johnnydepth]

The experience for me is more what rather than where. Think oceans, mountains, deserts, forests. You get the idea.

The people in Thailand are so incredibly friendly. When you get there you will not want to leave!

Will star my favs but I have loved everywhere I've been except maybe a few places. Where some people can only see noise, poverty, or a dirty city I see an adventure into the unknown, beauty, and kind strangers. Nothing makes me feel alive like walking down the street somewhere I've never been for the first time, especially if it is the opposite of what I know and am used to.

Canada - across to Quebec
USA * - Been to 20 states - New Orleans, Hawaii, Atlanta, NYC, Sedona, and all of California are my fav places
Mexico *
Costa Rica
Panama
UK
Holland *
Italy *
Vatican City (yes I count it lol)
France *
Spain (Canary Islands are awesome) *
Japan
South Korea *
Taiwan
Philippines *
Vietnam
Cambodia *
Thailand
Indonesia *
India *
Singapore *
Hong Kong
Malaysia *

Fav cities:

Kuala Lumpur - I love my life there plus I enjoy the diversity and all the different people, cultures, and religions you can experience and get to know. They also have the best speakeasy culture of any place I have been to. A big spiritual hub. I am happiest here.
Seoul - SOOOOO fun, unique and weird.
Singapore - Love life there and it's really pretty.
Phnom Penh - Feels like the wild wild west but with beautiful restaurants, spas and fun nightlife. I also love Tuk Tuk's being my main form of transportation. I met a lot of great people here, local and people from all over the world.
Montreal - It's pretty and fun in the summer time.
Perth - So peaceful, fun, and has some of the best beaches in the world and no one is there. Great for introverts and peace seekers like me.
New Orleans - An amazing place for culture, food, history, nightlife, nature, and meeting really amazing people. There is nothing like Southern hospitality and Southern gentlemen.
Playa Del Carmen - A lot of people just think it's to touristy and expensive but I had so much fun living here. For free

Fav places: India for nature and true paradise on earth, Mexico is always a dream, and Bali is a second home and I feel really free there. Malaysia and Perth get a mention.

Best beaches in the world are in The Philippines imo.

Next up:

Portugal
Croatia
Greece
Dubai
Turkey
Ghana
Tanzania
Botswana
South Africa
Colombia
Brazil
Argentina
Florida Keys
Cuba

I find this interesting. I loved Perth, too, but despite plenty of people having been to Australia, remarkably few get to Perth. Yes, it's definitely out of the way, but well worth it to me. (I, too, am an introvert - perhaps that's why. )

[Lady Companion]

42 US states (Maui, Sedona & DC favourite)
Mexico x 2
Kenya x3
Rwanda
Tanzania x 2
Fiji
New Zealand x 14
Australia x 6
Saba
St Martin
Japan
France x 4
Italy x2
Greece x2
Germany x6
Austria x2
Holland x2

What I miss most are my humanitarian missions, which are predominantly in Africa.
Meditation retreats are the second thing I missing, so The Monroe Institute in Virginia, and pretty much anything in Sedona.

I’m pretty traumatized by the way this whole global lock down is creating a mass genocide of impoverished nations. Close to 300 million EXTRA people are facing starvation now because supply chains are reduced, fewer people are donating to charitable organizations, And we are pretty much blocked from physically lending a hand on the ground.
