Favorite: Barcelona Spain, Berlin Germany
Worst Experience: Hong Kong, London, UK
Upcoming:
Philippines - Singapore - Thailand (January) - Japan (May) - Mongolia - Russia - Kazakhstan (summer or fall)
USA states (46)
All but Hawaii - Alaska - Texas - Oklahoma
Favorite: many places in California, NYC
Worst Experience: Fairfield County Connecticut, Philadelphia
Canada provinces (3)

Favorite: Montreal, Quebec
Worst Experience: Thunder Bay, Ontario. |

| It's not a contest! I hope even if people haven't traveled much they'll still share. I mostly like to see when people have been places I've never been. It makes me curious. Also saying places you liked and that you didn't like. I'm always looking for new ideas. |

Our first stop is in bogota
To check columbian fields
The natives smile and pass along
A sample of their yield
Sweet jamaican pipe dreams
Golden acapulco nights
Then morocco, and the east,
Fly by morning light
Were on the train to bangkok
Aboard the thailand express
Well hit the stops along the way
We only stop for the best
Wreathed in smoke in lebanon
We burn the midnight oil
The fragrance of afghanistan
Rewards a long days toil pulling into katmandu
Smoke rings fill the air
Perfumed by a nepal night
The express gets you there  |
