Where have you been?

So, I'm starting to think about where I want to go next year, and I'm running out of ideas. I know some of you are fellow world travelers, so I thought I might use your favorite places as inspiration for where I should go next.

So, gang, where have you traveled to, and which places did you love/not love?

Here's my list:

Favorites:

  • Burma - Raw and beautiful. Almost completely unchanged by tourism (for now)
  • Rwanda - Inspiring people, incredible scenery -- and gorillas!
  • Italy - History + food + the Italian way of life. What's not to like?
  • France - Pure class on every level
  • Japan - Amazing culture, wonderful people-- but so expensive :(
  • Loved:

  • Laos - Laid back, incredible nature, wonderful culture.
  • Uganda - Mostly because it was my first overseas trip on my own
  • Vietnam - Incredible food, great scenery. Towns are a little hectic for my taste
  • Kenya - People and wildlife are amazing
  • Greece - History plus amazing islands and the bluest water I've ever seen
  • Ethiopia - Incredible culture and history
  • Indonesia - So many different cultures and experiences in one country
  • Peru - Huge variety of scenery -- desert, coast, rainforest, mountains
