Countries you want to visit or places you want to travel to?

[Cobra]

This is a question I thought up in my head today, where are some places you would like to travel or countries you’d like to visit. Me myself I have wanted to go to Iceland for a while, since lots of skate videos were done there, and they have nice waterfalls. Possibly want to go to Las Vegas for the night life. You tell me your guys choices.

Italy


I've been to Europe 5 times, including once for almost 5 months. Not sure why I never went to Italy. I've always had an affinity of things Italian. The people, the movies, etc..

[John Dumbear]

I'm Amercan, dad was Canadian, generations before were English. Would love to visit the homeland before I pass. Seen enough of the U.S. (42 states), enough Caribbean (7 countries) and enough Mexico (Cozomei, Cancun and Cabo).

[WrinkledMind]

Porto Alegre in Brazil.


Frasier Islands in Australia.


New Zealand


And lastly, Oregon. Just Oregon.

[Torgo]

Iceland is amazing. I recommend going to the waterfall Seljalandsfoss because you can walk behind it and going on a glacier hike.

Switzerland is mine. Besides being so beautiful and pristine, I'd love to go to the H.R. Giger bar.

[John Dumbear]

Australia always intrigued me but they have too many critters that can kill ya'.

[Chypmunk]

Japan.
But I daresn't go with the wife in tow or I'll get murdered :D

Just looked it up, looks awesome.

[Hey Fredrick]

Would love to see Alaska, someplace in the Caribbean and the Norwegian Fjords. Someplace really beautiful, with nothing between me and the sunset except for water. And there can't be a lot of people. They ruin everything.

[Holden Pike]

I have only started traveling internationally the last few years, and of course due to COVID I didn't go much of anywhere in 2020. I have been to Greece (Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini), St. Lucia, and Iceland. I have been to Canada several times, but oddly never made it to Toronto (I have been to Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Winnepeg, Montreal, Quebec City, Halifax, Charlottetown). I have been to Hawaii three times. I have traveled all over the contingent United States. The only two States I haven't at least driven through are Montana and South Dakota.

Ireland, Italy, and Australia are high on the list for future travel. Lake Tahoe may be the next significant domestic trip we make.

[John Dumbear]

I love Toronto, have kin there and visited at least a dozen times. It's like a clean, safe NYC. The only drawback are the ****ty drivers.

And Drake.

[Skepsis93]

I ticked off one of mine, New Zealand, earlier this year - although it ended up only being half a trip (COVID put a stop to the rest of it). I'd love to go back and explore more.

[the samoan lawyer]

Been lucky enough to have done quite a bit of travelling. Russia is quite high on my wish list at the minute.
Must say though, cant recommend Ireland highly enough. So much I still haven't seen, so no reason for me to travel internationally for a while anyway.

[Citizen Rules]

I use to like traveling a lot and had hoped to visit my places, but a lack of money, time and covid has put a big damper on travel. If travel ever becomes safe again, I'd like to visit China.

[John-Connor]

Love to travel, I've been to;
Italy, Monaco, Turkey, Spain, Greece, France, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, UK, USA, Mexico, Jamaica, Bahamas, Bonaire, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Ivory Coast, Brazil.

Want to visit:
Austria/Zell am see
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi
Panda Base, Chengdu
Japan
Ireland
New Zealand

[Nausicaä]

Iceland, Denmark, Russia and Japan are the top main ones I would love to visit out of my wish to visit list.

Australia always intrigued me but they have too many critters that can kill ya'.

Yeah but really rare! Go to Australia. :D

[Steve Freeling]

Never left the United States, but I'd love to visit Italy and Japan, which is at least partially influenced by the fact that I have Italian and Japanese ancestry.

[John McClane]

Been to Greece and Italy and my biggest regret would be not buying more jewelry, so that’s my first stop if I go anywhere again. They got great hiking there

[Daniel M]

Definitely the US, I find the culture and history fascinating and I'm always trying to learn more about it. A lot of my interest stems from movies and what makes it so interesting to me is the sheer size and how each state varies from each other. I'd probably want to travel along the West coast, maybe starting in the South in Texas, moving up through California and then going to places like Washington, Oregon, Montana. I need to save up some money and get some sort of trip sorted, maybe next year or 2022.

France is another one, Paris in particular. Not really too much excuse as to why I haven't, being from the UK. I think this pandemic has made me realise how embarrassingly little travelling I have done for someone who's really interested in other countries and culture.

[GulfportDoc]

I've travelled all over the world in the music business, but I've never been to Puerto Rico, which I'd love to see. I know we have a member, Thief, who lives there.

Since I'm a U.S. citizen there's no problem with money exchange, passport, or probably even language.

Problem is, I don't know in which area to stay. I want to keep away from the hustle and bustle of San Juan and other cities. Not sure where the laid back more secluded areas are. I suspect there's a lot to see there, and the climate is ideal.

If you want to avoid San Juan, there are a lot of options.

There's Ponce, my hometown, which is on the South of the island, and the second most important city. There are tons of places to visit just there.

There's also Dorado, which is my wife's hometown and where I live right now. It is very tourist-oriented with lots of accessible places to visit, eat, shop, etc. It has a small town look-and-feel but with all the perks of a big town. Plus it's only 15-20 minutes from San Juan.

More off the beaten path, there's Cabo Rojo, which is on the southwest corner. Very beach-oriented town, lots of beaches there and nearby. Similarly, on the northeast corner, there's Luquillo or Fajardo, which have the same traits (beach-oriented, etc.)

Finally, there's the two island municipalities that are part of Puerto Rico: Vieques and Culebra, but traveling back and forth to the main island can be a pain.

Just remember that right now, CDC recommendations are to avoid traveling to Puerto Rico since we're having spikes on COVID cases and hospitalizations. But once this is over, I'm sure you'll love it here.

Yes, the United States is a big and varied thing. Texas to New Mexico to Arizona (hitting the Grand Canyon, of course) into California through Death Valley and into Joshua Tree and then San Diego to Los Angeles to Santa Barbara to The Hearst Castle to Santa Cruz to San Francisco and the Petrified Forest continuing into Oregon on the coast and then Portland and up to Mt. St. Helens in Washington continuing to Seattle and Mount Rainier and then east to Spokane into Montana and the Badlands...depending on what time of year you made that trip you would need everything from a bathing suit to a parka and at least a few weeks - if not more - to enjoy it.

You'd be surprised how few Americans have made a trip like that.

Thanks for the tips, my friend. I had been looking at Ponce, and did wonder about Cabo Rojo. I don't know if one can fly into Ponce, but I definitely like to stay away from crowds. Doesn't Chi-Chi Rodriguez live on the south coast?

Anyway this year is out of the question, but I'll definitely be looking at it for January, '22. I live on the Gulf Coast, but where I am the Gulf does not have the beautiful ocean water that y'all have.


Cheers!

[Mr Minio]

Never been abroad. Hate traveling. I don't want to visit any countries or places.

Ponce does have an international airport (Mercedita Int'l Airport = PSE). Sure, flights might be limited, particularly after this mess, but it is an option that might pop up.

Re: Chi-Chi, he is actually from Dorado, where I live right now. I don't know if he currently lives here, but he probably has a property here.

Anyway, I'm sure you'll have fun when you come. One thing I forgot to mention is that, regardless of where you stay in the island, everything is at the most 2-3 hours away. Cheers indeed!

Ever since I was a little boy I've always wanted to visit Thailand. As a child, my first exposure to it was in Street Fighter II and the Thailand level was set in this temple with Golden (Dragon?/Lion?) Statues... well come to find out that is actually based off some real Buddhist Temples in Thailand that have such Statues... only... it is so much more gorgeous. Buddhists Temples often incorporate a "blend" nature/man's influence on nature so seamlessly that it's simply stunning. I think if I make a "Thai-visit" the main crux of it is going to be "Temple-hopping/sight-seeing."

Heck, I live in California and doing a California trip "right" is impossible in a week... so much to see and do.

[Holden Pike]

And one of the reasons Americans don't take long, explorative vacations is we get such little paid time off compared to Europeans and much of the rest of the world. I took a seven-week cross-country road trip when I was 23-years-old, but that was the summer between finishing college and starting a job. I would love to take a trip like that again but I would have to win the Lottery first or be old enough to retire. Which is a damn shame.

[Cobra]

Finland. I know HIM broke up but who cares.

[Stirchley]

Since I'm a U.S. citizen there's no problem with money exchange, passport, or probably even language.

There’s no problem as long as you speak Spanish.

There's Ponce, my hometown,

My favorite place in Puerto Rico.


If I could visit anywhere in America, I would visit Los Angeles. Been to CA, but not to LA. Seems fascinating to me.

If I could visit anywhere in the world, it would be Madrid. Been to Spain more than once, but never inland.

[Thief]

My favorite place in Puerto Rico.

I've been to Puerto Rico it was a great visit, I wish I could have been there longer.

We circumvented the island so I guess we were done. :)
