I'm from Budapest, Wackybunny. I mean I was born there and lived there in the first 23 years of my life. Cool city (Prague also), but I would rather go to Machu Pichu

Yes, Cabo - Taos and the area is very interesting both culturally and scenery-wise. And you're killing me re: Peru... never been to S America yet.

Another favorite of mine is the Everglades in Florida. I've always had a weird affection for swamp lands... did botanical/ecological surveys in swamps as an undergrad student in biology. So obviously very drawn to Amazonia as well... yet to make it happen

I live on the east coast of Scotland, occasionally with the right weather conditions we get the Aurora Borealis, further north it is more common.
Below is Iceland, 2 amazing photos. That's the place I guess you want to go!

Thanks Dee for that...I think falseemperor missed the point. Photo shopped or not, that is EXACTLY how Queenstown looks at night and yes, it is stunning

This Icelandic photos are amazing, but you really couldn't travel the world without visiting ancient Egypt. It is incredible, the engineering behind the constructions of the gigantic constructs is incredible.

I beg you to take five minutes to google queen Hatshepsut, an amazing woman and this ye mole was built 1500 years BC. I find the history of to his place incredible, you feel the weight of it as you tread the very steps ancient Egyptians did. This was her temple.
