100 places to experience before you die

[kennas]

I'll start off the list with a few of my favourites and compile a top 100!

Maybe we'll have to vote on the last few.

Machu Picchu
The Pyramids
Petra
Angkor Wat
The Grand Canyon
Galapagos Islands
Venice
Gallipoli (for Aussies)
New York
Rome

Close to my top 10, without thinking about it too much....

:)

I envy the amount of travel you have done Kennas. Hopefully we'll be able to do that much one day.

Galapagos is right up there on the top of must do list.

I would also add:

Diving on the barrier reef

[kennas]

I'd add quite a few dive spot in Prawn, and GBR is definately a good one. With diving it's sometimes not necessarily the location but what you see on the day.

My best dive ever was a sun rise dive on a site called Blackhills which is a pinnacle just off the island of Utila one of the Bay Islands off the coast of Honduras.

We entered while it was still dark and then watched as the sun started to come up and all the fish started to become active. It went from being relatively calm with just a handful of fish to within a few minutes absolutely teaming with them. Was an amazing dive.

Perhaps I'd stick in the Blue Hole in Belize as a must do location to dive just because it looks so awesome from the air....

[kennas]

And need to add in a few more of mine done, and must do.


Jerusalem Old City (probably top 10)

[Prawn_86]

Yet to do, but must:

Play St Andrews
Follow a Test tour around the Caribbean
A Guiness in Ireland


You can count me in for these three :) I was just saying last night that i would love to play a round at St Andrews (so i had to do it on the playstation as i cant afford tickets just yet :D )

This might be a little weird, but I always thought it would be cool to travel to Antartica. Though it is obviously not a tourist spot, I think it would be fun to study up there. Plus, I am pretty sure it would be quite interesting to hang out with penguins. Haha.

Another one someone mentioned above: the pyramids. That would be amazing to see up close, and I hope to someday accomplish that.

[tiger_lily]

1. Uluru.
2. Greek Ruins (ever since I saw My life in ruins I have wanted to go to Greece.)
3. Gallipoli.
4. New York City.
5. Alaksa.

[kennas]

Agree with Uluru. Awesome.

Gallipoli for Australians is a must do, as is Western Front I think.

What part of Alaska?

[tiger_lily]

Sorry should say they are on my to-do list. lol

We are planning an Alaska cruise in a small ship which specialises in wildlife, whale watching as well as touring around. Currently saving so we can go when the kids get a bt older.

[francisscriven]

I would definitely include Santorini in any list. I went there recently. It is actually something special that you won't find anywhere else.

[Renfred]

I need to have a trip to India. I have seen pics of places in India and I liked them much.

[kennas]

I wouldn't just say Santorini, but the Greek Islands in general are a must.

India, India, India.

Go there and be shocked.

India for me was The Taj, Varanasi and Bodh Gaya. Nothing else matters imo.

I spent a month there and it could have been 2 weeks.

[jserpless]

Top 5 places I have been would have to be

1. Everest base camp (Nepal side)
2. Everest Base Camp (Tibetan side)
3. Great wall of China
4. The River Ganges
5. Varansi

all worth checking out!

[camper]

Vanuatu - not just different but extremely different. Makes you smile by just reminiscing

[Traveller]

Chernobyl - one of the few places in the world that you'll never forget. A very harrowing place.

[kennas]

Iguazu Falls in Brazil / Argentina are a must do in South America.

Hard to get to a little, but just incredible.
