From 20 to 30 years old the countries that I most enjoyed visiting are Samoa, Australia and New Zealand. Then from 30 to 40 years old the countries that I most enjoyed visiting are the Seychelles and Belize. I discovered my favorite cities at different ages: Sydney at 20 years old, Cape Town at 36 years old and Vancouver at 38 years old. I love tropical islands like Samoa because I love the scenery like the palm fringed beaches. I adore Australia because it has unique wildlife and a stunningly beautiful landscape. I love New Zealand because it has a beautiful landscape. The Seychelles let me enjoy fantastic island hopping. Belize excited me with its amazing Mayan ruins. Sydney I adore with its harbor bridge and white sails that are the opera house. How about you?

the countries i have most enjoyed visiting were finland and germany. but i am not that fond of the sun. though i have a long list of other places that i have not yet been to but would like to, so this is only a provisional list of favourites. i hope to improve it at some point, after i have done more research.

In notice that you like cool weather. I worked as a chldren's nanny in Finland and loved it over there. I saw the forests, lakes and chunky looking buildings in Helsinki. I am fond of Germany and its amazing looking buildings that have stunning architecture.

I loved Mexico. Since I was little this country fascinates me. Countries in Latin America (especially Brazil superb Amazon jungle, and Peru with unsurpassed architectural masterpiece, the Temple Machupichu). And also India, I love their culture, movies, actors and especially music. Everything about this country. And last but not least, there are some people who really know to love. France, I liked their refinement and delicacy, plus French. Greece, liked for her history. Egypt, I like ancient times. Norway. The dream of my life. It's special, it's beautiful, it's north, have the most beautiful fjords in the world, have one of the jurisdictions in the world languages??.

I visited Mexico, Belize and Guatemala in 2006 and it was my favorite trip. I visited Colombia earlier this year. I would love to see more of Central America and South America. I wish to go to Machu Picchu in Peru very much indeed. Yes, the fjords in Norway are stunningly beautiful. I liked France and French Polynesia is France under the tropical sun.

I love England, but I have to say that the U.S. is a place where you can get lots of different places - the Anasazi ruins in the 4 corners, tropical beaches in many places, Florida, Hawaii, even Texas. Great mountains in the Rockies and then the awesome sights in Yellowstone or the islands off Washington state. You can get culture in New York City or Washington D.C. or San Francisco... The United States is too big to see on one trip, I've been here all my life and still haven't seen everything...

I've never ever left my country. I've never been able to afford travel even in my own area especially since the economy took a dive in '08 &'01. Always thought I'd get to Canada since it's not too far BUT now we need passports which is another expense I could spend on something else locally.

I wish that no passport was needed between the USA and Canada. It could just be photographic evidence of identity like a drivers license. It is a shame that there is a recession on at the moment. My home country had a recession in the early 90s and it has another since 2008.

The only countries I ever visited are Hong Kong and China, and I love them. Hong Kong has that urban and busy aspect I love, I also enjoy the neatness. I love China because that's where all my mother's childhood memories are found. I was so amazed when my mom told me about them during our trip. I am very eager to visit these two countries again.

I loved Germany....because of the architecture....I love the old churches....the houses...all the buildings in general! Of course I love history though and love going through mansions etc. But loved Germany most.

I only visited Hong Kong because I like their population, food, and streets. I went there in 2008. My uncle was staying there. But I did not visit him. I went there with my friend and mother. It was very good night sightseeing. Very beautiful. I love it

Hi maximax, you have traveled so much and since so many years ,have had a wide range of exposure to various places, countries and cultures...I have traveled to many countries and I am finding it difficult to select any one or even two places that I loved the best. They all have something special about them.The only places I felt extremely sorry to visit were Sudan and French Somalia - even today I feel sad when I think of those countries.I was sailing with my husband at that time and as we came out of the port at Djibouti , we saw this nice tree lined ,wide road with huge bungalows and houses with huge compounds by the side,lawn and garden, a small air strip with a few helicopters, everything looking beautiful ..this went on for about 3 kms or so and abruptly ended ...then it was all just mud and broken down cottages and poverty with people having next to nothing.We were told that all those grand houses belonged to the ministers and rulers of the country...This was in the 80's... However, I loved visiting Switzerland,Kota Kinabalu ,Sri Lanka and Italy...

I have never gone to outside of the country. Because I have not enough money to fulfill my dream. Yes that is my dream to visit a foreign country and stay their for sometime. But in present this is not possible because I am not in job so there is some financial problem. But one day I want to fulfill my dream. And I want to go Newzeland. Yes this is a very good and beautiful country.
