In your traveling so far have you been to popular countries like the USA, France and Australia or less well known countries like Jordan, Belize and Samoa? How do you think a country becomes popular? Can you suggest which countries deserve to be more popular?

It depends. I am nature lover. I don't like to be in great cities always. So,In search of nature,I will prefer lone and sparsely populated regions.Thats why,I like norther region of India ans Switzerland. I also like well known countries,if over there I take take good nature photos.

Nature is a delight and it can be so relaxing to spend time in the countryside. I have a calendar with a page for every day of the year. Today there is a photo of a little island that I went to in Lithuania. I am keen on seeing native wildlife and superb views. I tend to take many photos.

I think overall, I have been to some of the more popular countries. Within each of those countries, I have found some places that have been spectacular but not necessarily popular! I live in the US and have been to 10 other countries - soon to be 11. My favorite so far is Germany. There really is so much to do there. There are so many opportunities that people miss because they only go to the popular places.
I think every country has something great to offer - you just have to look for those places that arent always very popular!

I think Germany is a lovely country. I like the attractive buildings like the half timbered ones and the romantic looking old castles. I love the sight of the mountains in the south. There are some wonderful countries in Central America that deserve to be more popular. Mexico is popular and well known but El Salvador doesn't have many visitors.

Morocco without even thinking twice. Notice how many times you hear the word here in the States... Moroccan food (couscous)... many movies that have Arabic in them are filmed in Morocco. The Bourne Supremecy (when they are running on the tops of the buildings...)... that was Tangier.
Yes it is Arabic, yes it is Africa, and yes they are known as the most hospitable people in the World.
Thanks

I just like to travel, and make decisions to go to places, usually on what I know, or where someone recommends. There are however, some smaller, and less know countries I wouldn't really want to visit. In my opinion, a lot of people visit countries because of major tourist attractions. I know before I went to France and Italy, I had made lists of what I planned to see, and they were tourits destinations that I had learned about at school. However, with smaller countries I found the best places to go information comes from locals.

for earning more money i will choose popular countries. live there i will earn more money at the same time. there are many place very beautiful but no one can visit. i think all of the world are all the same. not have the difference between popular or less well known. the world so big that you only see a little from it. you only can travel in the earth. but earth is so small in the sky. travel the earth like you walk in the yard.

Hi maximax8,
I have been to France, Spain, Greece and Belgiam, and also Portugal, don't think I want to go anywhere abroad now though, I had my fill so I'll just stay here in England but go to other places to visit in the UK.
