I've been to many countries in my life: Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Egypt, Turkey, Austria, Slovenia, Canada, Mexico, Palau, Caribbean, England, Taiwan, China...but these are just a fraction of the countries on the earth, and a fraction of the places I want to visit someday. It's really hard to pinpoint the best of these countries, since they are all different in nature. They all have interesting and unique qualities and are worth seeing in one's life, just for the fact that they are there. Of course, seeing manmade wonders like the Giza Pyramids, Angkor Wat, the Great Wall, leaves one with a true connection to others who came before us. We find ourselves (at least I did) becoming fascinated with the history during the particular time. Cultural places I tend to enjoy encapsulate history, culture, food, knowledge, and the overall feeling of both ancient cultures and modern inhabitants.
On a different note, there are amazing natural places too, such as the rainforests of Borneo, the European Alps, the Rocky Mountains in the American west, the deserts of Africa, and turquoise-blue waters of the Caribbean sea. The South Pacific is dotted with tiny islands strewn across the water like diamonds on blue blanket...I can never seem to get enough. My next trip? Hmmm, I think it must be Nepal, or India. How about Australia? Never been there...New Zealand too is wondrous I hear. It's only a matter of time before I'll be off into the wild blue yonder...heading up...heading away...
