What's on your travel wishlist? What do you have a burning desire to see before you die?

USA (all of it but in paticular, Hawaii, Georgia, Nashville, Vegas, Alaska)
Vancouver
Iceland
Australia
Fiiji
Christmas Island
Parts of the UK I still havent seen (Manchester, Newcastle, Shetland Islands, Cotswolds)
Italy (all of it)
Germany (all of it)
Greece
Paris
Scandinavia

I kind of also want to see the wilderness of Africa and Japan but only when I retire in a million years. So yeah basically I need to win the Euromillions.

- California and New York
- Venice
- Australia

Those are the main 3 (or 4) but I wouldn't be averse to visiting places like Spain, Germany, France or Japan.

Machu Picchu....one day

this_is_me · 04/03/13 - 03:31

I'm doing China in a couple of months, so that's one to tick off my list.

fizzle90 · 04/03/13 - 03:32

Vegas, LA, Mexico and New York!

Olls~ · 04/03/13 - 03:37

Australia
New Zealand
Hawaii
Canada
Italy

There's more, but they are my top 5.

South America, there's something about Peru and Venezuela

[Deleted User] · 04/03/13 - 04:05

- I want to drive down the historic US Route 66 so that would mean - Illnois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.
- I also want to go to the Coachella Festival in Indio, Death Valley, California USA and SXSW festival in Texas.
- I want to visit Yosemite National Park in California.
- I want to see the Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore, so New York and South Dakota.
- Finally for the US I want to go to Point Barrow in Alaska.

For the rest of the world I want to visit Iceland (all over), Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, Estonia, Belgium (particularly Bruges) somewhere in Polynesia and I want to travel round Italy making sure to visit Rome, Venice, Florence, Siena, Genoa, Verona and Sorrento. The most recent editions to my travel wish list are Slovakia and Montevideo in Uruguay.

LaceyLouelle3 · 04/03/13 - 04:12

I've been to a fair bit of the USA already so I'd say Hawaii. Nowhere else really excites me all that much.

moty2000 · 04/03/13 - 04:27

I split my travel wishes into 3 areas, the world, Europe and the UK.

Here they are

World.
Brazil, Japan, Australia, Borneo, Tanzania.

Europe
Amalfi coast Italy, Cork, Lake Constanz, Stockholm, Mont St Michel

UK
Outer Hebrides, Whitstable, Southwold, Rhins of Galloway, Alnwick

Teddybleads · 04/03/13 - 04:30

Santiago
Buenos aires
Hawaii
The northern lights
The trans-Siberian express
Cuba
Tehran

maidinscotland · 04/03/13 - 04:33

New York and Paris

WanderinWonder · 04/03/13 - 04:40

So, so many places, but the top 10 on my wish list for now are as follows:

- the Scandinavian nations & Iceland (sneakily counting these as one!)
- South America: Brazil, Peru, Chile (inc. Easter Island) (I keep doing it!)
- Morocco
- Israel & Egypt (and again)
- more of southern Europe, esp.around the Med: the Greek Islands, northern Italy, southern France, Sitges in Spain (once more)
- North America (again being sneaky): New York and much of New England, Washington DC, San Fran and NoCal area, Oregon, Minnesota, New Orleans. In Canada: Van & Vancouver Island, TO and Montreal
- Kerala and Darjeeling in India
- much of SE/East Asian (esp. Thailand, the Philippines, Japan)
- Australasia (esp. Melbourne, Sydney, the Torres Strait Islands, Auckland - actually much of NZ)
- an island in the South Pacific (such as Tahiti)

And after gaining my travel legs from all of that, if my wanderlust is still not cured: Papa New Guinea, Malaysia & Singapore, Indonesia, more of China and Mongolia, Kenya, Mexico, Germany and Austria, some Caribbean islands and more of South America and many, many more places besides.

It's almost impossible for me to even select a top 10!

Jack-UK · 04/03/13 - 05:00

Auckland, New Zealand
Pyongyang, Democratic Peoples Republic of North Korea

I personally recommend to everyone that you visit the town of Billingham, in North East England: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billingham

19Nick68 · 04/03/13 - 05:07

China
Japan
Scandanavia
Peru
West Coast USA - San Francisco, Yosemite, Death Valley, Napa Valley, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Oregon, Washington State. Went years ago pre 9/11 before mortgage etc. Would love to go back. Really regret not going to the Grand Canyon we were on a self drive by the time we got to Vegas we just wanted to relax.
Walk the Way of St James in France/Spain.
New England in 'The Fall'

The problem isn't so much the cost more to get the best experience we would have to take 3-4 weeks off work. Not really possible. Maybe one day.

lightdragon · 04/03/13 - 05:29

Japan

I'd also love to do one of those *step back in time* type hols in Venice or Budapest(?), where you dress up in 18th century gear and stuff.

BastardBeaver · 04/03/13 - 05:33

I would absolutely love to go to Japan. I'd want to go all over, but then finish with Tokyo durring a big festival or something.

Outside of the UK and Europe. Japan.

If only to travel on the Shinkansen. English announcements and all.

Best trains in the world, IMO.

Long videos.
