Hello, where are some places you would like to travel to sometime?? For me I would like to go to Germany, Czech Republic, Greece, India, Peru. Many other places to but those are on the top of my list. Feel free to explain why you chose each country as well. I would but I'm on my phone and takes to long >.<
Me? I have to visit Canada first. No visits to Canuckerland, despite living in a border state twice (Maine). If I went overseas, it would definitely be either London or Paris. If it were to a new area domestically, I'd either pick Denver or Seattle.
someplace that is warm all year but close enough to drive up into the mountains and get some winter in me when I need it.
Australia has intrigued me since I was a kid. I'd really like to go back to Bourbon Street tho. What an experience.
America. Maybe I need to actually see it before I completely believe in it's reality. But I doubt I'd get a visa.
Certain places in America for sports. Alaska - Polar bears Antarctica - penguins Iceland - history Egypt - history Greece - History China - history - Tibet - Shangri La Mongolia - history + yurts
Finland, never been back to Maui and Kaui....Hawaiian islands..... Iceland sounds good Scotland again Ireland
Was in hawaii in may definately going back, just the weather alone OMG, it was like perfect temp inside and outside the water day or the middle of the night
in tree covered mountains, on narrow gauge trains. any place on any world where refusing to lie to myself won't put my person at physical risk, and these three conditions prevail. as a further refinement, where there is no prejudice against egalitarian perspectives, where dominant beliefs do not demand denying reason, and where the dominant culture is what i would define as civilization, meaning not dominated by aggressiveness. of course those further refinements may nearly if not completely, exclude any place of the surface of today's planet earth. really the name of a government has nothing to do with it. and these same kinds of places i would which to see, are likewise, the very same kinds of places i would wish to live. most places where transportation policy is not centered on the automobile attract me to some degree. and by that i do NOT mean rejection of mechanical transportation technologies, but rather not dependence on this familiar form that requires indenturing yourself to a personal vehicle to make use of it. yes i know, like i said, i am aware such places are rare, if they exist at all, but perhaps there are some. certainly many that come close enough, if not perhaps on all counts. there are places with few or no cars. there are places where you can build and live in little tiny micro-fantasy houses you can build yourself as you see fit. there are certainly places with forested mountains and there are even a few places where narrow gauge railways are practical everyday transportation. and there are places where more exotic forms of mechanical transportation are. there are places where the beilefs are buddhist, or shinto, or daoist, or indiginous traditions close to nature. there is even much of the planet which does not share america's ideological prejudices. so all of these places are eligable. those which combine them would be no less precious, were the doing so far more common.
I was planning trips, just tossing around ideas last night. We're looking at a cruise to the Bahamas (never taken a cruise ship, I've flown my whole life but a little curious about cruise ships). Or a week in Paris for my birthday next February. I looked at African safari's but the flights are ridiculously over priced!
the tropics are well known to be miserably hot and humid, unless that's the kind of climate you like. paris is just another too damd big city, though it does have lots of good and interesting public transportation. (no i haven't been there, but you can see what it looks like with google satellite images) africa expensive to fly to? i wonder if that has anything to do with the expense to airlines of their planes getting shot down. if there is one thing more embarrassing then poverty, (and yes i know there are many) it is ostentation. wherever you go, i'm sure you'll have a lot more fun, NOT trying to impress anyone.
