I Love reading all your comments on my posts on how you’d love to visit the places I’ve documented about in my Blog. So today I want to hear from you, my Readers on places that make it to your Travel Bucket list!
So I ask you today,
I have to add Arpita, I would love to visit India now as you and many of my friends in blogosphere are from there, I also want to go to the USA and Canada to see my other blogging friends and my friends who migrated there π I love visiting a friend if I can π

Arpita, perhaps the fascination is that it has been the forbidden fruit for these past 50 years. The U.S.has had an embargo against Cuba.

For what it’s worth…
– Train/bus trip on the perimeter of the former USSR (would be a long one, but in general, no problem..)
– Svalbard, Arctic (maybe this winter)
– Central Africa (hard to survive, but still want to get to some place where not so much of the travellers have been)
– Islamic world: Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Iran. (Saudi Arabia is quite hard to enter, but the rest are available for an average traveller and IMHO are very interesting)
And, of course, continental Indochina – though I have just got back from it, this region is simply amazing.

That’s a very offbeat list! Which places did you visit while you were in continental Indo-China?
LikeLiked by 1 person
For now only Yangon, Ho Chi Minh City, Vientiane, Phnom Penh, KL, Singapore and a few non-continental bonuses like Kuching and Jakarta. In almost all of these cities I happened to go to the neighbouring towns/villages, sometimes to see something interesting and sometimes just out of curiosity, but these small towns/villages does not count π Also I’ve visited a few cities of Thailand a few years before.
It’s a pity but I have only 2-month Summer Holidays and 2-week Winter ones in my University, so I usually have to wait much before I go multi-destination travelling .

Well, in Jakarta we almost got robbed (I am going to write more about it in my blog, so stay tuned).
I say “almost” because we managed to escape the robbery, so didn’t lose anything but got a few wounds, so we even been to poor Jakarta’s hospital. Luckily we were able to walk much right at our next destination and now almost completely healed.

I was studying American history for A Level, mainly the Civil Rights Movement and so visited New York, Washington DC and briefly Philadelphia on a college trip. I’d always dreamt of visiting NY and I think I actually squealed when we first saw the city, it was so alien and exciting for someone who’d never left Europe. It’s a city that’s buzzing with life, culture and history, I like to feel I’m in love with the real New York not just the touristy bits (which are pretty incredible) or the posh parts. I could write forever about the city, you absolutely have to go! My next planned visit is for my 21st but I’m not sure I can wait that long and I’m determined to live their at some point. I recommend watching Begin Again, it’s one of my favourite films, it might not be one of the best in the world but watching it I felt like I was in New York again and it made me so happy.

It is Rocky Mountain wilderness much like that of the US west of the 18th and 19th centuries — no roads, no facilities. You can find much inormation on Google, but more importantly, I urge you to seek out the “back roads” and lesser traveled places in addition to the famous ones like Paris, London, Rome, NYC, etc.
I noticed someone else replied about travelling across Canada. We did that last year (lots of posts) and just like in the US, many Canadians in the big cities wondered why we wanted to drive through the middle of the country. We loved it.
