Seriously dude?! No mention of the best country in the world – Australia?
How much travel have you done here? It is amazingly beautiful everywhere here. So much diversity both in environments and animals…. it is one of the unspoilt paradises on the planet. I’m only travelling to develop an even stronger appreciation for how good we have it here in Australia. Try going around the country and avoid the capital cities. Where I’m from in the north of the state of Queensland is a MUST visit!

Ran out of room . . . NZ is incredible and the people are some of the friendliest anywhere.

- Machu Picchu, Peru and the sacred valley. The place is magical is all I can say – see if before you die.

- ditto on Vancouver Island, want to retire there

- Death Valley, CA – beautiful in its own unique way. Abandoned ghost towns.

- Sedona, AZ and area – stunning

I’ve added a few places to my list after reading this – luckily I’m headed to Turkey in May 2011 and Spain right after so will check those two off. I’ll add to this list some that haven’t been mentioned:

- Koh Samui, Thailand – getting more touristy now but we rented a scooter for $8 a day and gas was $3 a tank and lasted 2 days, we saw the entire island. We stayed on a quiet beach near Fisherman’s Village, skip the big tourist beach. We loved the island and the scenery is breathtakingly gorgeous. What’s better than lunch ON the beach with a cold beer you paid $1 for?!

- wine country just south of Perth, Australia. Amazing to drive through the countryside and see kangaroos in the wild. Worth it just for that experience. Wine is great too!

- Rotorua, Tauranga, Whakatane (pronounced FA-KA-TA-NEE), Waitomo (caves), and Auckland – all New Zealand. I didn’t see more than those in my 8 trips there for work – yes work. Want to back and see the rest including north country

My favourite places in the world are the Isle of Skye in Scotland, and London.

Isle of Skye = breathtakingly, jaw-droppingly beautiful. Rolling green mountains, little waterfront cottages, wonderful local people.

London = the greatest city in the world, IMHO. So much history, yet bustling and modern and full of life and endlessly entertaining. I could spend the rest of my life there and never be bored.

Cathedral Cove, NZ is definitely one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve visited.. Granted, I haven’t been to as many places as you do but it is gorgeous.. When I watched The Chronicles of Narnia and saw the beach I told myself I have to go there someday, without knowing the location of the beach..
A year later, I was in NZ and some friends took me there.. Imagine my surprise when they told me that it was the exact same beach where they shot the Narnia movie! I was ecstatic! Gotta love that kind of surprises!

Gili Trawangan island in Indonesia comes in a close second. I love beaches. I have a list of beautiful/secluded beaches that I plan/hope to visit.. someday..

As for my all time favorite place, it’s gotta be Bali, Indonesia. There’s just something about that place..

Anyhoo, love reading your stuff.. Just found it this afternoon and I’m hooked! Keep ‘em coming!

I live in Canada and I’ve visited every province. My three favourite provinces are Prince Edward Island (where I live!), Alberta -Banff and Jasper are breathtaking-, and British Columbia – for it’s natural beauty. Other countries I have been to are the United States of America (Boston, NYC, Florida), Germany, Italy, Vatican City, Greece, and Dominican Republic.

Greece is an amazing place. It has a great mix of history, culture, and scenery.

I am currently studying in university, but after I complete my degree – WATCH OUT WORLD!!!

@The Global Traveller – completely agree! A favourite place has as much to do with the moment than the place. One person can have a great experience (warm, sunny, people are happy), another at the same place can have it all go horribly wrong (starts raining, hotel room leaks etc.) which certainly affects it being their ‘favourite’ place!

For me…
- the sun setting over the outback of Central Queensland while flying at 30,000 feet
- giant clams while diving in Fiji
- a woman with one leg give food to a homeless man on a bus in New York
- a gondola ride with my wife in Venice
- the northern lights over the barren wasteland of the arctic tundra in northern Canada
- the glorious mountain ranges of the dolomites and swiss alps
- the dense jungles of PNG
- 12 months on Vancouver Island, where every road is the scenic route

and lots more!

All beautiful in their own right for me-but not necessarily for others as each person has their own experiences and moments that are special

The favorite place? actually this looks more like a collection of islands!

Iceland, offseason
Gotland (swedish island) during the medieval festival
La Digue (Seychelles)
Maupiti (French polynesia)
The islands of the Oslo fjord, in summer
L’île de la Cité, Paris, the most offseason as possible, avoid week ends(!)
Naha, Okinawa, Japan
Manhattan, NYC, USA ^^
