Thread: What Countries do You Want to Explore?

Mines already planned out

I suggest that you travel while still a student, you can go through STA and get decent discounts on the plane tickets, but only while you are a full time student.

I've been to canada and Fiji. I've seen some of australia. Most of qld, nsw, vic and a little of SA. Still need to get to WA (can i stay with you Gosu), Tassie and NT, but i will make it one day.

I'm planning a year travelling through europe next year, which i'm very excited about.

My bestfriend has been to lots of exciting places i wouldn't think about going to without him mentioning it, like cambodia and mongolia.

There is just so much to see. i don't think i can fit it all in.

The simplest way is to go here

I really want to see everywhere before I die. I have my priorities, though. Europe is definitely number one. I have this undeniable urge to just go like..now. I've never been overseas in my life and really want to go.

Then it's a toss up between Australia and New Zealand or seeing the rest of North America. Both would be great and I really can't decide.

Then I'd like to go to the orient, check that out for a bit, go to the middle east, then on to Africa.

Personally, I think Europe sucked. China sucked, Hong Kong was cool. Japan was awesome, Canada was ok (need to go back to Montreal for the strippers now), Mexico pretty much sucks unless you're scuba diving or drinking, Hawaii is cool, but too touristy now. Oh Canada's also good for skiing, Colorado, Oregon, Utah, California all good states (skiing mostly), Texas was fun, but boring cause I was stuck in the airport. The only good part of France was Marseilles, and my cousin's block party where I got toasted on some super alcoholic Grappa. England was boring, stuffy, but going to see the Women's Finals at Wimbledon was really really freaking cool.

I think I want to try Italy, maybe tour the Mediterranean, (not a cruise you get treated like cattle) private charter would do it. Also on the destination list are; the Maldives, most of Micronesia(Carolines, Marianas, Tahiti, Truk, Palau, etc.), the Galapagos Aggressor, and I'd like to go to Israel but without the explosions and possibility of death. A lot of places I'd like to go have explosions and possible deaths so I'm not including them on the list. (SE Asia, Phillipenes, etc.)

What do people consider 'Europe'?

I've seen someone on here refer to someone as 'European'. Isaku just said Europe sucked but then talked about countries within Europe.

It's a bloody continent. Different countries, cultures and laws.

Yes Wizen, I did say Europe sucked...as a collective whole the countries I've visited in Europe all sucked.

However, there were redeeming qualities to minor parts of each country, which I then talked about a little more indepth.

But as a whole the entire continent sucked ass and I wouldn't want to do it again.

England was however, the best of the trip...France sucked real bad.

Thats 'cos all the cool people are English.

Thanks for clearing that up.

When I took the ACT at the end of my Junior year in high school, the reading portion had a long essay about Iceland. It talked about how lush and green it is, how nice the people are, and how laid back it is. It mentioned that the phonebook is filled with duplicate names, but that the locals all know each other, so it's not a problem. It made the place sound so good that, after the test, a friend and I both wanted to hop on a plane and move to Iceland.

Other than that, I think Cambodia and Laos, mainland China, Hong Kong, and Japan would top my list.

Indonesia comes to mind. Anywhere with the beautiful mountains, although dangerous, they'd be beyond fun to explore.

I wanted to go to London, but I hear it's full of english.
