My grandparent’s cottage on a lake in Maine. I arrive and instantly am 100% relaxed. The challenges of the interpersonal dynamics of a few dozen relatives are no match for the raw vibes.
Aulani. Beautiful, peaceful, just… made my soul happy.
Mont-Saint-Michel definitely was a special place. Already driving up to it and seeing it from a distance was surreal and then walking through this tightly packed place seemingly in the middle of the sea is unlike anything else.
Deosai National Park. The 2nd highest plateus in the world. Its absolutely beautiful. Just google it!
My bed, miss it every morning.
PAX - before there was PAX Prime or PAX East.
<3My wife and i went to Tortola in '99. Everything went wrong, and we still had a good time. If things had gone right, we might have never left.
That said, the off-trail areas of the state parks of north NY, NJ, PA, up to Canada and into Vermont) are where I feel most at peace. A quiet cabin on a lake ten miles from a small town would be a perfect place to retire to.
Porto, Portugal.
That said, it was a great place to visit, but I don’t know if I would want to live there.
I haven’t been around much, but Prague was so beautiful.
Agreed. The Charles Bridge, the Klementinum, the cobbled streets…
This is my answer too! I can never decide if I liked Prague or Brussels more!
Both highly underrated places to visit for Americans imo.
That’s on my want-to-go list!
Look people are going to come at me for this, but I’m not american and for me disney world was literally the most magical place I’ve ever been. I went there about 4 or 5 times during my life and everytime I was amazed. By the perfection of everything, the power to make you forget your problems, how every tiny detail is thought about… also how everything is incredibly expensive. Idk, maybe americans have access to a lot of theme parks but I don’t and I love the rides and how sometimes we have to stop and look 2 or 3 times to understand how they did something.
… also call me dumb but paris is soooooo boring
American, love Disney for the reasons you said. We go every few years since we all enjoy it. They go to great lengths to ensure it feels magical every time.
Tossa de Mar, in Girona Spain.
Hands down not even close no contest
Lake Tekapo, NZ. Just look up some pictures and you’ll know why
Amed a small town on the north coast of Bali. Spent all day snorkeling the reef.
New Zealand by far. Nature was just so awesome.
Moraine Lake, Alberta, Canada. And the Jungfraujoch, Switzerland. Just stunning.
