Deosai National Park. The 2nd highest plateus in the world. Its absolutely beautiful. Just google it!
Mont-Saint-Michel definitely was a special place. Already driving up to it and seeing it from a distance was surreal and then walking through this tightly packed place seemingly in the middle of the sea is unlike anything else.
My wife and i went to Tortola in '99. Everything went wrong, and we still had a good time. If things had gone right, we might have never left.
That said, the off-trail areas of the state parks of north NY, NJ, PA, up to Canada and into Vermont) are where I feel most at peace. A quiet cabin on a lake ten miles from a small town would be a perfect place to retire to.
PAX - before there was PAX Prime or PAX East.
<3My bed, miss it every morning.
Porto, Portugal.
That said, it was a great place to visit, but I don’t know if I would want to live there.
I haven’t been around much, but Prague was so beautiful.
That’s on my want-to-go list!
This is my answer too! I can never decide if I liked Prague or Brussels more!
Both highly underrated places to visit for Americans imo.
Agreed. The Charles Bridge, the Klementinum, the cobbled streets…
So covids def changed the place, but I’m rooting for it… But I love Montreal, QC. I know Quebec gets hate for being rude to non French speakers but I’ve genuinely only had one bad experience and it was a McDonald’s outside Montreal… But the food is great, they have a lot to do both indoor and outdoor and it helps coming from the states my money is worth a bit more. Man… It’s been too long… I wanna go back.
Went to Montreal for a long weekend in 2005 and had so much fun! I love it there and would like to go back.
I was in Montreal for the eclipse, I’m sure it was a very busy tourist weekend and they were ready for the influx of us English speakers coming to town, but I didn’t have any issues anywhere.
It was probably my favorite city I’ve ever visited. Everything we ate was amazing, even when we just stopped into some random hole in the wall Chinese takeout place for a quick bite.
Public transit blew anything I’ve ever experienced in the states clean out of the water. I was also kind of in awe at how bikeable the city was.
There’s not many cities I’ve visited that I’m itching to go back to, but I’m definitely planning to go back sometime.
Montreal is getting the new REM. Plus, Montreal isn’t that rude. I just think Midwesterners love to complain.
New Zealand by far. Nature was just so awesome.
Moraine Lake, Alberta, Canada. And the Jungfraujoch, Switzerland. Just stunning.
I really enjoyed sitting out on Suomenlinna drinking long drink while chilling on the rocks.
Utter contentment and peace.
Lake Tekapo, NZ. Just look up some pictures and you’ll know why
Cardiff, Wales. One of the few places in the world that felt like a Real City while also having its own distinct culture and feel. Every other city I’ve been to feels like the same sort of dull corpo-district monoculture.
Old Montreal also has a bit of this, but only the central city areas, the outside periphery quickly devolves back into the “this could be anywhere in North America (version francaise)”
Pretty much anywhere in Provence
