Where is the most beautiful place you've ever been? / myLot

I live in Newfoundland, Canada. An island in the middle of the Atlantic. I've done some traveling, but truly the most beautiful place I've ever been is the little town I grew up in. Population 300, related to mostly everyone there. Maybe it's more about how the place makes me feel instead of it being visually beautiful, even tho my little town is certainly that. Pic is the view from my mom's kitchen window. I grew up looking out at this scenery every day growing up.

I am not being biased, but I still like my country Philippines. It is still my favorite one.

I never travel outside Malaysia. So I would say it's another place in Malaysia. It's on my way to Kelantan when we stopped at a R&R on the highway for a break. It's on the Titiwangsa Range. No camera at the time to capture the moment though.

I traveled a lot in my youth and I could name a lot of beautiful places. But I specially liked Ciudad de Mexico, the capital of Mexico. And Aruba, if I want to relax. And some of the cities in Italy and the south of Spain in Europe.

I believe you are correct about your hometown being the most beautiful place you have ever seen. I feel the same way about my hometown. And, as a genealogist, I also find that every place that I have been to in which my ancestors have lived has felt the same. That is, provided modern man hasn't mucked it up. I was recently about 30 kilometers from where a few of my dad's immigrant ancestors are buried (in Virginia), and that "city" that I was in (in Tennessee) was in was so run down and beaten up that I actually felt very uncomfortable. It wasn't because of crime or anything like that. I just had a very uneasy feeling about the place. I'd moved there to stay with a childhood friend until the apartment I had applied to became available. So, all of my belongings are in a storage unit down there, but I am now in central New York (another ancestral homeland that I love). I left that place in Tennessee after four days of uneasiness, and the realization that my friend was an angry drunk. But, if I had had the opportunity to visit my 6th great-grandfather's gravesite in Virginia (I don't drive), I know I would have felt at home then, because Virginia is also beautiful. My late aunt lived in Washington, DC, and a few years back, I lived in Roanoke, VA. So, I am more than comfortable in that commonwealth.
