I’m not a person who has a really persistent traveling bug; if I found out now that I’d have to stay in the U.S. for the rest of my life, I wouldn’t really be all that bothered.
There’s plenty I haven’t seen here yet anyway!
And considering that international travel may not be an option for quite some time, it’s a good thing I can easily be content staying put.
But if I were presented with the opportunity to travel to another country, I think somewhere in Europe would top my list.
It would be pretty neat to go to France, Germany, England, Italy, the Netherlands…and the lovely thing about going to Europe is that you can visit a lot of countries without going too terribly far.
That’s pretty different from how it is in the U.S., where you usually have to travel a long way to get to another country!
My second pick would be Australia/New Zealand, although the terribly long plane ride there is a little off-putting to me. I’m not sure how great I’d feel about being stuck in a plane for so many hours.
There are not I am really desiring to visit, but I think Great Britain would be fun and Kenya.
Anywhere in the British Isles. I’ve always wanted to do one of those garden/house tours, like the Cook Travel Agency arranged in Agatha Christie novels. 🙂
I have too! I read Nemesis when i was 11. Ever since, i wanted to take that garden tour that Miss Marple took.
Same.
I’m with you; there’s a lot to see in the U.S. and I’m perfectly happy to stick around ’til I’ve seen it.
That’s not to say I wouldn’t go elsewhere. 🙂
Usually I go where the person I want to see is, and then we look at what they want to show me, because that’s kind of how I roll, I guess. My sister studied in Uruguay pre-9/11 and I visited her there, and we also went to Paraguay and Brazil. I would not have done that without her there, though.
I was invited to go to Israel where a friend was working, but for a number of reasons, not all of them covid, it didn’t work. Next she’ll be in DC and I would love to go there if I can manage it.
And now to contradict myself, I would really like to go to Canada someday. It would not hurt my feelings to see Prince Edward Island and the wheat fields in Saskatchewan and go into the Northwest Territory and see the incredible BC scenery. Canada is big. It would take some time, lol.
Sonia and I had planned to go to Prince Edward Island this year for her sixteenth birthday trip, but it seemed obvious to us that we should postpone. Hopefully next summer!
Speaking as a Canadian we’d love to welcome both of you to our country, hopefully someday soon!
You too, Karen!
I would love to go to the town in Germany and see where my Great-Grandparents lived before they moved to the US. I would also loved to see the countryside of England and go bank to France. I definitely have a travel bug for anywhere in the US and Europe.
I have wanted to go to South Africa and Zimbabwe for many years.
We are very different in this regard. I have the travel bug, always. I try to make it a point to leave the country once a year to explore. It is a priority for me so I save money in other places for it. I also backpack as much as possible because I love the spontaneity and frugality of this way of traveling. The next few places on my list are Japan, Romania, Chile, and Israel.
Same here, I enjoy backpacking and have the travel bug. I have been to quite a few distant places (my last big trip was to Japan – last year, when I could not picture myself wearing a face mask like the Japanese, ha!).
Given the circumstances I am not going to travel far this year. I have decided to explore my own country (Germany) and have realized that there is still soo much to discover here (it is kind of embarrassing how little I have seen of my hown country…). I will probably go hiking in the East of Germany (Saxon Switzerland), nature is stunning there!
Bhutan
Scotland and Ireland. I would also consider other places but would like to go to these two.
I have been to Israel and Turkey and part of Canada.
Scotland! I’ve been to Ireland, Wales, London, and Cornwall so I feel that Scotland is somewhere that I shouldn’t miss. I’d really love to go to Austria too but after Scotland.
I’ve been to England once and would love to explore more of it. My dream vacation is Japan, though. Maybe some year but not until my kid is much older.
After discovering the show Outlander, I have my heart set on visiting Scotland.
