As simple as that. Where do you want to travel? What do you want to see, what do you want to do? And also where is your favorite place that you have travelled to?

Personally there are many places that I want to see and experience. On the top of the list I would like to drive all the way through Norway. I'm talking south to north.

And the favorite place I've been would have to be York, even though I only got to be there for half a day. I like places with character.

What about you?  

I've always wanted to visit London.  And I'd like to make return visits to Amsterdam and Köln.  The idea of backpacking across Europe appeals tremendously, but probably isn't financially practical at this point in my life.

I forgot that I want to do that too!  

so far I been to prague, london, egypt, paris and all over greece. My fav. trip was prague

I really wanna go to Alaska!

I have visited for at least a week on holiday and/or business

UK (England, Scotland, Wales but not Ireland)
France
Germany
Austria
Switzerland
Spain
Romania
Yugoslavia (before it split up)
Belgium
Italy. (worked in Milan)
Cypress (Greek side and a day trip into the Turkish side)
Majorca
The Netherlands (aka Holland)
The USA (Chicago, Boston)
South Africa (Cape Town)

I would like to visit, in no particular order

New Zealand
Australia
Cuba (I like cigars)
Vietnam
The Galapagos Islands

If I had to choose to stay in one for the rest of my life it would be Holland, the Dutch are just so friendly and laid back.

I want to spend a serious amount of time visiting Norway, Sweden and Finland. I'd also love to visit Switzerland. It looked so beautiful when I flew out of Zurich airport. Other places I desperately want to visit include:

Japan, New Zealand, Brazil, Mexico, Iceland, Galapagos Islands, Canada. I also want to do a road trip across the US. That would be mega.

My father was in the army when I was a kid so I was lucky enough to see a fair amount of the world at an impressionable age. The places I have the fondest memories of are Hong Kong, Singapore and Brunei.

Thailand is still the most incredible country I've ever been to. Such a beautifully peaceful but strongly principled country.

I haven't traveled anywhere outside North America, but I love New York, Pennsylvania (I'm a history lover), Washington DC, and Vancouver BC.

There are tons of places I'd love to visit - Japan, Thailand, South Africa, Egypt, etc. but the one place I want to visit before I die is Machu Picchu.

I've been almost everywhere in the US and for American history, Pennsylvania is where it's at.   :bananacolor:

I was in Barcelona for awhile last year - it was quite an eccentric place, which suited me very well.

I am not quite sure if I would want to live anywhere else - I am very comfortable in Scotland. Don't blink or you might just miss summer.  

Places I've been:
Sweden
Denmark
England
Greece
Lithaunia
Bulgaria
Thailand

(Many places more than once)

Why there though? Were they particularly good at preserving their heritage or did a lot of things worth remembering happen there?

Pennsylvania is one of the most well preserved historical states in the union, from my experience.  There are the obvious attractions like the liberty bell and independence hall, but also peppered throughout the state there are random little historical sites that are tended by locals, some aren't even really advertised.  I loved the feeling of pride a lot of the people seemed to have, and I learned loads about the American revolution in particular.

I was fortunate to visit Boston and walked the freedom trail. It ended on the Constitution.

The guide pointed out that it was the oldest rigged warship still in existence, this is of course not true, that honour goes to Nelsons flagship at the battle of Trafalgar, HMS Victory.

The Constitution is the oldest full rig still afloat.

He was not a happy bunny when I corrected him. I think he wanted me to walk the plank!  lol

Of course when I first went to the US I did not know the effect a English accent can sometimes have on some American ladies  :D

Oh lord yes! I had no idea that a slightly posh English accent is an absolute aphrodisiac for quite a few American ladies. Can't say for the Scottish accent but you too may be in luck. I developed quite a good Roger Moore 'Good Evening would you mind helping me with (what ever it was). I would say it worked (had some beneficial effect) a good 50% of the time in Chicago, not so good in Boston! I like Gridiron and support The Bears. I went to Soldier field to see my first game a little after I had worked out the accent effect. I picked a lady usher to show me to my seat, I fully intended to exploit this new found 'magic force' to best effect. So,[PoshEnglish] 'Hello! Would you mind awfully helping me to my seat this is my first ever visit to America and my first ever match.' [/PoshEnglish]Candy from a baby! She showed my all around the stadium!!

As an American lady I can attest to the fact that both Scottish and English accents melt my pants off-USED TO!  Used to melt my pants off.  I'm engaged now, my pants no longer melt.  Ahem.

Personally I like the Australian accent. But then again, I'm not American.

Well bugger me side ways, maybe I should but my Glaswegian accent to better use.

That reminds me. Is there any Australians around here? I can't remember seeing anyone.

Haha! It is something i desire to see work again, next time i visit the good old USofA. Every restaurant i visited had waitresses falling over each other to serve me. As Tank said, it is like a magic spell.

The French accent on a lady really does it for me.

My wife won't let me talk to French ladies any more
