Wow, that's what I want, I would love to be able to earn a living from writing and live there, that would be heaven for me.

Paris has never been my scene, I do like it there, but I'd find it difficult to settle there. I suppose that's because I'm more of a romantic-adventurer as opposed to a quirky-romantic. But I do like the odd visit now and again to get a bit of artistic influence and inspiration. :)

I've been to all the continents apart from antarctica.

But my favourites are Asia (south east because of singapore) and Europe because of England.

I didn't think I would miss Asia but lately I've realised I'm going to miss Asia and Singapore so much. :bawling:

Europe I suppose, I've been to the US and loved it there but Europe's more diverse so I'd pick it over North America. Portugal :love:

Actually Africa's the one I'd like to visit most, then South America, I'm not majorly bothered about going to Australia although I might go there for the Ashes or something if I have enough money in a few years

Jords 17-05-2011 02:23 PM

Europe :love:


Not that Ive been to any of the other lmao

Sarah. 17-05-2011 05:29 PM

I've only been to 3 out of them- Europe (obviously), Asia and Africa and I love all the places I've been to, mostly Egypt, Greece and Lebanon so I couldn't really choose :p I really want to go to USA and Japan :(

Patrick 17-05-2011 05:38 PM

-Votes Europe out of loyalty-

I love how Americans talk about Europe like it's some far far away planet.

'Hey dawg, are you going to Europe for your family vacation this spring break? Ah man European food is so awesome.' :bored:

But like London the place is huge, maybe if you go back you'll have a wonderful time.

Very true - even back in Paris, the next night was with Keichi (Japanese new pal) and some Japanese girls studying at the Sorbonne lovely and relaxed...............I'm just a nervous creature GG, so didn't like the pressure night 1 that I was the one doing the ordering for 16 'backbacker types' with me translating their orders to english to me, then me to french to waiter!

I'm super impressed Charlie - ! have 3 to go yet. But burning ambition to see the Big Heads (Moai) on Easter Island which will involve Peru to tick one off!!!

Europe :hugesmile:

I was gonna pick Antartica for the craic :)

Conor 17-05-2011 06:19 PM

Europe & Asia for history, mindsets, architeture, scenery, contribution to the arts & food and having too many countries.

Maia 17-05-2011 06:24 PM

Europe and Oceania

The people there are so sweet and funny and the monuments there like the Great Wall, Beijing Olympic Park and all the skyscrapers in Shanghai were amazing.

I love China. :lovedup: I'm desperate to go to Japan as well. :love:

Excellent Niall - my nephew has done all except Antartica because his parents are bluddy rich - poor Ian only gets the cool t-shirts from Nicaragua or so.

My Nephew liked China, but he loved Tokyo more + wants to go back as an adult alone (he is 18 now) -

Nice going. I just need to hit South America in my next travels, hoping to do all the countries. Then I can focus my goal onto Antarctica. :hugesmile:

Europe. Actually have no desire to travel further right at this moment but I'd LOVE to tour Britain. After that, who knows

Claymores 18-05-2011 01:46 AM

My silliest fault is of thinking of China as a 3rd world place. I was sitting in St Andrews (University town in Scotland) outside a bar enjoying the sunshine and wearing my Beijing soccer top that my nephew had given me.

A Chinese couple (tourists) came-up to ask if they could have their pictures taken with me as it was his favourite team who the couple go to see as season-ticket holders. They then immediately whacked the pictures off back home to their friends using their 3g phones.

Me sitting there with a crappy Motorola phone in pocket!
