Been to:

Las Vegas
New York
Taj Mahal
Venice
Paris
Himalayas-Nepal
San Francisco
Zermatt-Switzerland

The places that made the biggest impression on me are India and Nepal.

Next year Im hoping to do a sponsored trek to Machu Picchu - Peru.

Other loacations I would like to travel to on the list are:
Mexico,
China for the Great Wall - in fact it would be nice to cycle the length of the wall.
New Zeland
Alaska
Angkor Wat - Cambodia (This would be top of my list to see)
Brazil
Equador
French Polynesia


And not on the list - Madagascar

Oh to have the time and money to travel.
