Anywhere in the World: Where would you go?
There are simply WAY too many countries in the world to even try to narrow it down to 16. Instead, I did continents. Please specify which country or countries you want to visit and why! Say where you are from too! (adds interest!)
I'm from USA and I picked South America and Australia. In Australia, I really want to learn how to go scuba diving so I can see the Great Barrier Reef. In South America I really want to go to Ecuador to see the Amazon and especially to see the Galapagoes Islands. I love Darwin!!!
Even though I didn't vote for it, I want to visit Africa. In Africa I want to go to Madagascar and Egypt the most. I also want to visit many other countries in Africa to see the savannah and the jungle.

Re: Anywhere in the World: Where would you go?
Well I would say my top two are Brazil, and Australia. I want to go to Brazil to see the Rainforest and experience the culture. In Australia I would like to go see the Outback, the Sydney Opera House and the Great Barrier Reef.
Of course I also want to go to Europe.... I would love to go to Iceland!!

Re: Anywhere in the World: Where would you go?
I think I would pretty much love to travel anywhere in the world, actually! There are few places that I would turn down!
I would prefer to go to places where I could be outdoors and see lots of different animals and amazing landscapes. I'm not big on the cities and buildings. However, it would be cool to visit Europe to see Ireland, France, and England. I'd love to tour old castles! Reminds me of the Medieval times!! I'd also love to visit Egypt, because their culture fascinates me!

Re: Anywhere in the World: Where would you go?
I entirely agree.... I love mythology and studying different religions, the Egyptian religion amazes me still.... I love castles.... I would really love to visit Russia.... I want to go to so many places in Russia. I'd also like to go to India..... *sigh* I just want to travel the world.....

Re: Anywhere in the World: Where would you go?
Haha! That's why I started this topic! I want to travel the world some day! I hope that in college I will be able to participate in a Study Abroad program. There are lots of them offered at the school I'm going to, but they are really competitive!

Re: Anywhere in the World: Where would you go?
...wha...? lol
Anyway, I live in England, but I choose Europe (although I'm already there and have never even been out of Europe lol) because there's still so many places I want to go like Finland and Greece. I also chose North America, because I want to go to Canada one day, my best friend went and he said it was really cool, and I want to go to the USA because one of my other friends has been, and he says each state is like a country on it's own. I would say a mini country, but lots of them are bigger than England lol
And I don't really get why people like castles, I always used to get dragged around castles when I was little because my family wanted to do something at the weekends, and it was soooo boring! Most of them weren't even proper castles, just piles of stones on a horribly steep hill lol. And I hated spiral staircases, they were so high and narrow and generally terrifying

Re: Anywhere in the World: Where would you go?
I chose Europe and Asia because I've always wanted to go to London, and maybe Paris, and so many other places in Europe. Oh and Italy would be so fun! And Spain! Wow, I've never even been out of stupid old America, lol. I chose Asia too because I've never been to India, even though I'm Indian and I can speak Hindi/Urdu and I listen to Indian music and watch Indian movies and eat Indian food everyday!! Gahhh!! Lol, I wouldn't mind going anywhere actually, as long as it's out of the U.S. Except I might say no to Antarctica....idk. Well it could be cool living in an igloo.....

Re: Anywhere in the World: Where would you go?
I live in the U.S., and I chose Asia. I didn't see that it said I could select two options before I submitted my vote, but I would've chosen Europe as my second choice. In Asia, I would want to visit India and China, because both seem interesting. Though India could turn out too be immensely hot, so that might be an annoyance. China always seemed pretty cool, especially after seeing Kungfu Panda.

Re: Anywhere in the World: Where would you go?
I'd definitely want to go somewhere in Europe. Like London, or Paris, or Switzerland. I'd also want to go to Hawaii or the Bahamas or something tropical. Believe me, I'd pretty darn tired of Pennsylvania. The only other state I go to is New York and now I don't even go there all that often. I guess I'd want to see India, but I don't think it'd be a very enjoyable place to go to.

Re: Anywhere in the World: Where would you go?
True. Not exactly the most favorable conditions there, I guess. But Hawaii would be so nice. I've never been anywhere like that lol. Well we did go to Cali but that's not as nice lol. Idea!! We could like go on a cruise!! Hehe that would be so awesome

Re: Anywhere in the World: Where would you go?
Haha Arya! I totally understand why you would want to go somewhere warmer! I live in Wisconsin!!! Brrrr.....!!!
I've never been able to travel anywhere. I've only been out of WI on school NHS trips. And the time when I was visiting my sister in college and we got lost in Michigan. We didn't even realize it until we saw a sign that said "Welcome to Wisconsin!" We were like...what?!? So yeah, I really want to travel. At the very least, to visit different states, because there really are some cool places in America that I want to see: Grand Canyon, Yellostone, Niagra Falls, Glacier National Park etc...etc...
Oh, and Firetongue...I don't really know why people like castles. I've never seen one, but I want to. I think they are cool, they remind me of all the castles in Fantasy novels, which I am obsessed with! So I just want to see one. I wouldn't mind if it was old and slightly ruined. I like looking at arcitecture. In fact, all the places in the world that I want to travel to are either so I can see the wildlife/environment or to look at the arcitecture. For instance: the Great Pyramids, Stonehenge, castles, Mayan Pyramids etc... I just find it interesting.

Re: Anywhere in the World: Where would you go?
I've been to Niagara Falls twice now, and it is really beautiful. It makes you realize the power of nature and its beauty. But, I'd be glad to go anywhere, really. Anywhere besides Philadelphia. If anyone would ever want to visit there, trust me, don't go. There is NOTHING there. It's just a boring, crowded, crime-infested city. I'd rather go to New York. At least that city has character.

I went to stonehenge years ago, it was ok I suppose, interesting, but now you're not allowed to go anywhere near it and they keep wanting to build a great fat bypass around or under it or something, and now the closest you can get is the motorway, and see this pile of stones in the distance. I've always wanted to see pyramids too though And all the places in the USA you mentioned.

Re: Anywhere in the World: Where would you go?
Are you serious? Talk about over-protective. I remember seeing this movie where this family was on vacation, and they visited Stonehengeng when they were leaving they backed up the car and bumped right into one of the big stones. Then the stones started falling like dominoes, and the family didn't even notice. Lol, a little off-topic, but yeah.
Anyway, the pyramids sound cool, Fire. I always wanted to go and visit them sometime, but learning about them in school just ruined my dreams...
