| Sure beats a list of "Places to Visit AFTER you Die!"
Sorry! But seriously, you can BELIEVE these people who have actually been there far more than travel brochures. I'd add The Painted Desert, Ariz. at DUSK,
and ALONE. Overpowering haunted beauty. Tip Credibility: 86 (Best Tip!) |
| Nelson Lakes National Park in the northern mountains of New Zealand's South Island. This is the hikers' paradise. Picture postcard lakes, rivers & mountains. The most beautiful fresh water, freah air, exhilarating views, peace & quiet and restful sleep. Tip Credibility: 46 |
| Greenland is just stunning. The people are warm and friendly, the weather is warm and sunny, believe it or not - with over 300 blue-sky days per year. We saw musk ox, huskies, reindeer 20m from our bus, and the Russell Glacier. And the ice cap - Wow! Tip Credibility: 42 |
| I recommend Japan if you like hot springs, beautiful sceneries, a rich culture, great food and amazing colors. Japan has all of the above and is a place unlike others. But be sure to learn some basic Japanese before you go there! Tip Credibility: 11 |

| Digging a hole in the ground at one of New Zealands hot beaches and let the hole fill itself with 30° celcius warm water. Sit in and watch the sea, the long white clouds and the sunset. Awesome! Tip Credibility: 6 |
| Col Poole's BBQ in Ellijay, Georgia. Go in late summer early fall and then get fresh apples too!! Tip Credibility: 5 |
| La ciudad perdida, near Santa Marta in northern Colombia. It's a 1500+ year-old city, built on a mountain in the jungle. 3 days' trekking to get there; an absolutely incredible place. Like Machu Picchu, but virtually unheard-of. Tip Credibility: 5 |
| Go and see the Fjordland in the south of New Zealand. Sitting in a kayak both sides towering the fjords 1000m in the sky and a pair of dolphins is joining you. Priceless! Tip Credibility: 5 |

| Maldives Islands are likened to paradise on Earth by many. The country is under serious threat to due to sea level rise and may disappear from the map in the next decade or so. Tip Credibility: 5 |
| The Galapagos Islands in Ecuador is a must. You'll need to save up some money, it isn't cheap, but it is the trip of a lifetime. Snorkeling with sea lions is the best part, but you'll also see a ton of wildlife close up and very photogenic! Tip Credibility: 5 |
| Hawaii!... there are NO poisonous creatures there and the beaches are unlike any place on the planet. You can camp anywhere with temperatures between 70-80 all year round. #1! Tip Credibility: 5 |

| The city of Aachen in Germany was wonderful. The old cathedral - started in about 280AD by the Romans, and finished approx 1200AD - was totally stunning. It is real history, and we just stood and looked in awe. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| Koln/Cologne is Germany was very moving. The cathedral took over 600 years to build, and we climbed to the top, past the bells, and could see nearly 80km of the Rhine River. The stained glass windows were 45 metres tall, and they just took our breath away Tip Credibility: 4 |
| I would generally go with ancient places, such as the Great Pyramids, the temple of Abu Simbel (especially when approached by water), and I'd also add Petra, in Jordan, which has a beautiful colour when the light is just right. Tip Credibility: 4 |
