Hello. I really enjoy traveling and in my short life I've already been to quite a few places, mostly around the US and Caribbean. I made this so that everyone can post a list of the places that they want to see/visit in their lifetime. Let me start off.

In no particular order:

NYC
Egyptian Pyramids
Paris
Cuba (for personal reasons)
Japan
Jerusalem
Rome
India
China (I doubt I'll ever see close to all of it in my lifetime)
Greece

I have not included any places that I've already been to, as this would be pretty pointless. I'm looking forward to hearing what places everyone else wants to go to . I'm sure I probably skipped a whole bunch of important places, but these are my top 10.

All of these are places I've been, but I put them here b/c they're the most beautiful places I've seen:

1. Halong Bay, Vietnam
2. Through the Greek Isles on a ferry
3. Cappadocia, Turkey
4. Machu Picchu in Peru
5. Bruges, Belgium
6. Ireland
7. Fraser Island, Oz
8. Venice, Italy (see it before it sinks)
9. Prague, CZ
10. The south island of New Zealand

The main place I've never been is to Africa south of the Sahara and I really want to see the big game parks.

The last time we had a thread like this, I probably posted Japan and Australia.

I would still like to visit those places, but I do not feel a "Before I die" urgency about them.

Instead, I am vitally interested in walking a leg of the Grande Randonnée in France. I've been to France a whole bunch, but there is plenty I have not seen or experienced there. I want to do it while I am still physically (and mentally!) sound.

I'd like to return to Greece, as well, but to see more of the mainland as well as different islands.

I also plan to see more of the region I live in, which is fascinating as well as beautiful.

Maybe now that I am older, my mental checklist is less about great expectations, and more about exploring personal interests.
