    I would love to get a train from Paris all the way to China and India, but apparently parts of the journey are very boring, sounds fantastic though.

    The Upland South of Kentucky from the Appalachians to the Ozarks.

    I fit in well with the locals & enjoy the Southern hospitality.

    New York for me. Gimme the grey, gritty city that's buzzing and full of a lifetimes worth of stuff to do over any of these scenic hideaways.

    Apricale in northern Italy. Named as one of the 7 most beautiful villages in Italy. Drive to the outskirts of the village, park up and walk in. All the little cobbled narrow lanes are silent and eventually you'll arrive at a beautiful plaza where you can have a bite to eat and a drink with a view into the green hills and enjoy the silence.
    You can walk around the village and find little alleys with beautiful homes whose doors are open to nosey in!!
    Seriously, Google it....beautiful

    I was in Patagonia a number of years ago and have always wanted to return. I did the W-Trek in Torres Del Paine national park in Chilean Patagonia. It was the most wonderful place I've ever had the luck to visit.

    If I went back I'd tackle the 9 day full circuit around the park.

    The wide open Serengeti in west Cavan.





    but really..Heidelberg, there once a few years ago and fell in love with the place.

    For anyone going to Iceland I'd recommend the skaftafellheidi trek and the summit climb on kristianartindar. 6-7hr round trip with views of epic proportions. Google it. Prepare to bring a tent due to almost no formal accomodation nearby.

    Patagonia for me is a dream destination - Torres del Paine is immense. Would love to go back. Would love to see Greenland also. Tasermuit looks amazeballs in South Greenland.

    Somewhere with great urban and rural places to walk or cycle, nice architecture, 18-24C, gentle hills, and value for money.

    I've been lucky to have visited many amazing places. If I'm asked for my favourite place ever; I will suggest Torres del Paine without hesitation. It's an extraordinary place. Chile is an amazing country and the Andes are an amazing mountain range.

    I agree. It's my no. 1 location too. We did the w also. Glacier grey was mighty impressive as it's not well advertised so I got a bit of a suprise at the sheer size of it when it came into view. The Puerto moreno glacier instead seems to steal most of the lime light with pictures of it everywhere in brochures etc.

    I consider myself fortunate to be Irish, I think our little country is stunning, especially when the sun is shining, but Burma looks incredible. I would love to go there, and some of the Thai islands also look amazing. Peru is also on the list...Macchu Pichu has been a dream of mine for years, but haven't the money for any of this at the minute!

    I haven't done much travelling, Australia and New Zealand and San Francisco is all I've been to. So many more places I'd love to visit. Iceland and Greenland would probably be top of my list. I'd love to spend a week in Rovaniemi around Christmas too.

    Have been to both. Would go back to both in a heartbeat. Going to Japan and Mongolia next year. Both have been on my list of places I want to go for a very long time.
