My favorites are Sydney because it is a beautiful city, Samoa because it is my idea of a tropical paradise that is unspoilt and the Abel Tasman Walkway in New Zealand past all the beaches felt like the most scenic walk in the world. Which are your top three places? Why? If you haven't traveled yet which three places do you think you would adore?

I havent traveled that extensively but the three that I have been to that i like the best are BIg Sur in central california. The beautiful pacific ocean splashes agains giant rock formations. Pearl Harbor Hawaii visually beautiful and stunning, Las Vegas Nevada not naturally beautiful but beautiful in it's own right due to the lighting and atmopshere. runners up St Augustine Florida, and the Grand Canyon.

I hope that you get to see all those places. The Pacific Coastline of California is really beautiful and I have been there three times. I went to Pearl Harbor when I was in Hawaii and it was sad as well as moving. I imagine that the Grand Canyon must be an awesome sight.

I haven't seen enough of the world to come up with 3 top places I've visited and loved. I did enjoy living in Samoa, it had it's moments but being able to spend a weekend at Lalomanu beach every now and then was lovely. I haven't been to the Abel Tasman Walkway. I did spend a week in the Coromandel in New Zealand and that was beautiful. There is still a lot of NZ that I haven't seen.

Samoa is my favorite country in the world. I think Lalomanu Beach is the most beautiful beach that I have ever seen. Opposite it is Namua Island and it is one of the most charming places that I have ever stayed. I love staying in fales, the traditional accommodation. When I went to New Zealand I went to Northland first and the Coromandel Peninsula last. I just loved Hot Water Beach and Cathedral Cove. New Zealand is a very picturesque place and so I hope that you explore all parts of it that you haven't yet seen. I met a German guy that comes to walk the Abel Tasman Walkway every year. Yes, it really is that special.

Very difficult... But let me try!!! Tropical: Manado Sydney is far beauty than Manado; But people in Manado is a friendly as angels. The way they welcome me is incredible. Now I am living here and still be welcomed like when I arrived. In the night I can see the stars on the sky, the constellation in its orders. Very beautiful, the view that I had never seen both in Amsterdam and Singapore. Europe: Amsterdam The city is very wet... Hehehehe... Australia: Perth and Sydney... Most of Australian parts is beautiful, especially I can see the Koala, and Kangoro. But I like to stay in Sydney and Perth... It's different there. I feel at home here.

It is very very hard. I think there are so many beautiful places in the world. My favorites are: Taihape and Wellingtonarea New Zealand. beautiful place but more important there are people there that I love. Myrtos Crete real greek people and not so many tourists not possible to build a lot more there, and the beaches will always be wide and open as there is not possible to build anything along them. Vegglifjell, Norway That's where our cabin is. beautiful mountains. the kind where you climb up and can walk for miles and miles and miles without a lot of climbing. beautiful small lakes to swim or fish in. hardly any people. Unspoiled mountain land

Hi my friend Teison. I really like your choices here. Thanks for your wonderful response. I enjoyed my visit to Wellington but I didn't go to Taihape. New Zealand is such a very beautiful country that you can probably imagine how many photos I took there. I have only been to one Greek Island so far I that was quite pretty. It sounds like an amazing landscape where your cabin is. I found Norway to be an incredibly scenic country. The train ride from Oslo to Bergen delighted me with all the gorgeous scenery.

Hello dear maximax. I have never been abroad, but I think that the top three place in the world I would like to visit are Tokyo, New York, and London because I would like to know more of the culture and history of these cities. Of course there are a few more cities, like Manila, Singapore and Sydney. But of all the cities in my own country, I love Hangzhou most, followed by Shanghai and Beijing. Of these three, I have been to the first two cities, not the last one--Beijing, as it is far away from where I live, but I will make it some day later on together with my family.

I've been to Berlin and I would say it is one of the coolest places in the world. It's not the cleanest place on earth but I love the "character" of it, so colorful and so distinguishable and Oh did you know Berliners are nice?! Especially I came for the Berlinale FIlm Festival and the whole city was simply in to it. Another choice would be Prague, in CzechRepublic maybe it is one of the most under rated places because of the popularity of cities like Paris or London but for me Prague is one of the most beautiful cities on earth in terms of architecture and in terms of city sites. ANother city of my choice would be Vienna, Austria I just love the city for its outstanding architecture and the history of their site. Mozart was an Austrian and I know the whole city is still into orchestra music and arts. I love arts! But ofcourse I love asian countries but for me it's common and it is more reachable to me because it is nearer and less expensive. And european countries are very new to me as a traveller.

I wish to go some places outside my country but I don't know when will that happen. If ever that will happen then I would like to visit Australia, New Zealand and Santorini, Greece.

My favourite place is Crete. I intended to spend a few days on the island, but stayed -there for two weeks. This of course was in 1966, and I daresay the island has undergone many makeovers since then. I doubt very much these changes have been for the better, but more likely to the comfort of the tourists. Second, and this is probably biased, but I love Melbourne, my birthplace. The city is well planned and most downtown workers can find a park or gardens close enough to their workplace to relax at lunch time. Then there is New York. I loved London, but I have a very special place in my heart for the Big Apple. I stayed there for a week, and have fantastic memories.

Antigau holds a place in my heart because I got married there earlier this year. It has stunnign beaches that are so quiet and there are friendly people. Thailand I loved because of a mix of everything and I loved Italy and would love to see more regions of the country as I think the food is so nice and I love the way people are hectic and speak with such noise and are very expressive!!

Manila - Map
Mine Would be Singapore because it is a very clean and safe place. Paris is my second choice, it is said to be a place for lovers and last but not the least Manila which is where I grew up, even without any of the great scenic spots or place, it would be one of the places I would like to be because it is where most of the relatives and friends I have live.
