    I swam down to Twin Falls in Kakadu National Park in Australia many years ago and I remember thinking it was paradise, haven't since found anywhere that captured me as much. I'm interested in hearing about other people's paradise.

    Cheltenham racetrack is one of my favourite places in the world. Couldn’t make it yesterday, but over here for the next 3 days of drinking and gambling like a lunatic.

    South coast of Brittany, just like West Cork/Cornwall but with sunshine.
    or
    Haft Howz (7 pools) in the foothills of the Alborz Mountains in Iran.

    Best of luck, John. I've a few quid on it being ground zero for a Covid-19 explosion. Keep the immune system ticking along with Guinness. Be grand.

    The bog.
    It's some where in either Monaghan, Fermanagh or Tyrone( I'm not sure) but it's still the place I remember fondly. Turf,tea ,dust devils. And yes even the midges!

    Ara we’re fücked anyway, so might as well catch the fücking thing while cleaning out a bookie after landing a gamble.

    New York. Just love the big city feel and hustle and bustle of the place. Nothing better than wandering the streets finding new things to see and do.

    The w trail in torres del paine. The scale of the mountains blew me away. Camping beside glacier grey and hearing ice crack during the night was one of the highlights.

    Torres Del Paine is almost certainly the most beautiful place in the world.

    The Basque Country; great craic in the cities. Beautiful old towns in the cities jammers full of hopping bars with cheap drink; lovely food everywhere, every pub has pintxos (tapas) that are always lovely so you can be drinking and stuffing your face. Sandwiched between the mountains and the sea; I go every year and I love it.

    I was there last year. It was freezing and the wind would cut you in half. Didn't win anything either. Hopefully you fare better.

    The Perhentian Islands are pretty special. Have been twice. Always somewhere I think of.

    The armchair in my sitting room. In front of the tv, fire blazing, a tray of cans chilling between the freezer and fridge and a share size bag of KP dry roasted nuts on table beside me.

    Just south of San Francisco, Half Moon Bay. If I could afford it and Trump wasn't prez I would move there in a heartbeat.

    In the meantime am happy living in my second, much more affordable place, Kuala Lumpur. I love that within an hour or so I can be on a tropical beach if I need to escape the city. Or go into the mountains or jungle if the notion takes me.

    I have a couple.

    La Digue in the Seychelles, a beach there is simply paradise.

    Love NYC, love the life the people and the madness of it all.

    Derrynane in Kerry on a warm day and south Kerry in general.

    My grandad used to tell us that the bog was the last place that God made. I hated the place
