Wow, so many people have been to a ton of places. Here's my relatively short list
US 14 states (not counting ones I've only travelled through and not visited)
-Maine
-New Hampshire
-Vermont
-Massachusetts
-Connecticut
-Rhode Island
-New York
-New Jersey
-Pennsylvania
-Virginia
-South Carolina
-Florida
-Illinois
-California
+Washington, DC
+Puerto Rico
8 other countries (not counting airport transfers)
Canada (Quebec Province)
France
Singapore
Malaysia
Thailand
Laos
Cambodia
Vietnam
Coming up:
Korea
Favorite country: Vietnam (I loved it for the ultra-friendly people and great food)
Least favorite: Cambodia (To be fair, I was only in Siem Reap/Angkor and Phnom Penh. I just found it depressing. But I'd give the country another shot and go outside the big cities)
Favorite city: Singapore (food, food, food)
Least favorite city: Phnom Penh. Though, if you consider Vang Viang, Laos to be a city, that's my least favorite.
Favorite area: Northwest Vietnam (not Sapa which seems like an amusement park). Unspoiled, pretty un-touristed (not that I'm anti-other-tourists), rugged, friendly. Oh yeah, and some scary mountain roads (landslides galore) with even scarier, crowded buses (On two occasions I counted 30 passengers on the bus with only 20 seats, yes we were at 150% capacity) with maniac drivers. Nonetheless, it's a totally awesome area.
Least favorite area: Connecticut. What the heck is in Connecticut, anyways?!? I've always disliked that state. |

^ I just got here today. I'm in the south and will limit the travels to Tamil Nadu and Kerela.
I'll save the other parts of India when I have more time.
But so far I'm just in love with the place. It's intense on the senses though, but I still really appreciate it.
Today while trying to find my bus (God is that ever an endevor a goat and a cow walked right beside me. And I was in the middle of a city (Trichy).
I consider myself to have done a lot of travelling, however, there is simply no other place that can compare with India. |

Nice. I was in Delhi and Rajasthan and generally thought the whole lot was a bit of a s***hole, but that may have been because I literally stepped in it everywhere I went. And got head butted by two different cows. Kind of freaked me out.
But I agree, no place like India! |

I've been VERY BLESSED. My love-to-travel parents dragged me to new places from 6 months old. So even though I don't remember some of the places I've been to, I still have all the passports w/the entry/exit stamps (when they were required for travel in Europe)....
So many more to go!!!
Best places-- Greece, Cambodia, Turkey, Cyprus, Jordan, Israel, Egypt, Grand Cayman
Worst places-- England, USA, Canada, Mexico |
