I live in England and the countries still have to visit in Europe are: Andorra which is a mountainous country between France and Spain. Monaco is by the coast by the South of France. Vatican City is within the Rome. San Marino is in Italy too. I have to visit the places that are in ex Yugoslavia including Bosnia, Kosovo, Serbia and Macedonia. I am very keen to visit Albania. I really very much wish to visit Ukraine and Moldova. I am wondering if I will afford a visit to Russia. I know I can't afford the visa to visit Belarus. Iceland would be very pricey. Cyprus would be a relaxing destination that would be sunny. Thinking outside of Europe I still have to visit: I wish Egypt to see the pyramids. Morocco is a very exciting destination with interesting architecture. The Gambia in West Africa is a possibility but I worry about malaria. The Cape Verde islands seem lovely and I wish to go there one day too. Which countries are nearby your home country that you haven't yet been to? Are some destinations easy to go to because of the direct links by air, train or ferry? If so why do you wish to one day visit these places?

If I have a budget I will visit first Japan, which my sister-in-law living there for more than 10 years. She already invited us to visit and they will be the one to prepare our papers. She only ask us to prepare a budget for plane ticket only back and forth. We have already plan maybe after a year. Hopefully Then the other countries I want to visit near us are: Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Hongkong, Guam, Vietnam, Thailand and Taiwan. I wish I could be there soon.

The one advantage of Europe is travel(I am just messing with you but the financial system there is well....). I get so upset when I see people complain they can't travel as it is far but yet can hop onto a train in to France for lunch with ease. You at least have accomplished a lot of travels to date and seem to be more fired up than ever to keep on going. Africa is the second region I want to go to but it is so hard taking time off from work etc. I am thinking of either Tahiti(or a smaller less known island), Thailand, India or Seychelles in the coming months. I have a trip booked for Israel next year(all 5 star and free, got to love the US). Keep up the travels and perhaps you should create a blog about them?

Andorra sounds like a mythical country out of a really old book.

Well, I think I can afford Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan, as well as may be Thailand in near future. Going a little further, Singapore or Malaysia could also be possible If I save a bit more or start earning a little more. I also have ambition of touring a few places in Europe. However, the costs are high at present. May be, I can find a company that sponsors some kind of a long term work for me there :)-

In Europe I am especially interested in visiting Ukraine, Moldova and Albania, and I want to visit those countries in the future. Belarus and Kaliningrad are also close to my home, but I would need a visa for both places and that is main reason why those places aren't on top of my travel wish list. I travelled through some of the countries in ex Yugoslavia, but I didn't get the chance to spend some days in each country, so that is one of the things that I would like to do in the future. I am thinking about a combined trip to the Faroe islands and Iceland. There is a ferry from Denmark and I would travel from Denmark to Iceland first and then I would travel from Iceland to the Faroe islands and from the Faroe islands I would return to Denmark. I have never been to Greenland either. My friend has been there and she had an amazing trip. Maybe I will also be able to visit Greenland one day.
