I have a travel wish list and over the years I have been able to tick off some of the places I want to see in my lifetime. I was lucky to visit Cape Town and the Garden Route in 2009, Vancouver in 2010, Colombia in 2011 and in 2012 I went back to wonderful South America. Although I have already been successful with my traveling there are other places I wish to go to before my life ends. The Philippines for island hopping and snorkeling Madagascar to see the wildlife Peru to see the Inca site in the mountains India China How about you?

If I really have money, I will go to Saudi to see the Holy Ka'aba and the Masjid Al-Haram. Next is France to see Paris. Australia, Italy, Thailand, South Korea, Japan and China. I do love travelling but I guess for now I can only travel by reading travel blogs. At least I can have ideas and how they look like.

Good luck with planning your trip to Saudi Arabia. Paris is the most amazing city. You could perhaps combine a trip to France with Italy. You could go to Thailand and then hop over to South Korea and Japan. So that is two trips and five new countries for you. I love reading travel blogs.

I would like to go to Wales (where my maternal great grandmother came from, England, - Italy, Spain, Bermuda (want to go across the Bermuda Triangle and see if there is anything strange happening,and Israel to see where Christ went. I do think that is more then five, but that is a start. Too bad I am not rich, then I could have seen them already.

Hello my friend. It is excellent that you know your great grandmother came from Wales. I hope that you go there one day and combine it with England. From England you could get a budget flight to Italy. The Bermuda Triangle seems mysterious to me. Good luck with your finances.

Wow, there are some exotic, far off places you have on your wish list my friend and I sincerely hope you manage to visit them. My wish list is more closer to home, Sweden, Ireland, Isle of Man, Turkey, Paris (France)

Hello my friend Wolfie. I can see your choices are much closer to our home country. All the places you mention are realistic and manageable in your lifetime. I did a day trip to Dublin when I was studying in Wales. The Isle of Man could be reached from Liverpool. I know you would love it in Sweden. Maybe you could have a weekend in Paris and a holiday to Turkey.

Let us see... Here is my updated list on my top 5 countries to visit. First on my list is Nepal for its mountain and their living goddess. Next is Peru for Macchu Picchu. I also want to go to Petra Jordan. Japan is also on top of the list for their food and culture. And like you, I also want to go to Madagascar or Kenya for their wildlife.

Hi my friend. I hope that you will visit Nepal. Yes, seeing Machu Picchu in Peru would be be very exciting. I have seen Petra in Jordan. I did a safari in Kenya and it was a wonderful experience. I hope that you will be able to go to Japan. Madagascar would be the place to see amazingly unique wildlife.

Thanks for your excellent response to my discussion. I also dream of visiting Madagascar to see those lemurs and lovely landscapes. Italy and France could easily be combined Maybe if you fly on a Japanese airline and do a stopover in Tokyo. I loved going to Mexico and it is gateway to wonderful Central America.

I really and urgently want to go to Israel this year with my mother and brother. It is my life's goal and I am praying hard it will happen this year. The other countries among my top five dream travels are the following: United States of America particularly California and New York because many of my relatives are living there. I want a reunion with them. Singapore because it's one of the nicest Asian countries. Rome which is just a wish..if it happens, it happens.. Cambodia because I want to see how our missionaries there are doing.

I wish that you will visit Israel with your mother and brother. If you do allow hours at the airport before your flight home leaves. You could combine a visit to Singapore with Cambodia. You might be able to fly to America via Rome.

I'd like to see the pyramids. I'd like to see a rainforest. I'd like to see glaciers and hot springs. However, I don't think I will. I would like to avoid flying, and they're all hard to see without. But I'd really like some leisurely time and a camper van to explore my own country in.

I saw the pyramids from a plane window. The first place that I have seen rainforest was St Lucia. I saw Fox Glacier in New Zealand. I loved being on Hot Water Beach in New Zealand. I dug a hole then mixed hot and cold water together. I love hot springs like that. For 2013 I will be traveling by train. I hope you will explore your own country in a camper van. Maybe you could do some cruises.

Here's wishing that you get to go to these places! If not all, then maybe one or two of them. The island hopping and snorkeling has the biggest appeal on me! Specially during days like these, where it's a bit nippy, it would be great to be out in the sun and the sand.

I have been lucky to have seen beautiful places already because of my job, mostly here in Europe and in Asia. But i would like to visit India or Nepal to visit Buddhist monasteries. South Africa coz a lot of people I know adore that place. San Francisco of USA coz it is very cultural. Egypt to visit a real old civilization.And any Latin American country just to feel the same vib that it has as my country that has been occupied by Spain for a long time in the past. I am glad you chose Philippines. That is my country. You'd for sure enjoy island hopping!:)

I am glad that you live in the Philippines. It seems to be such a lovely country with all its islands. I hope that you will visit India or Nepal. Yes, South Africa is glorious especially Cape Town. I loved seeing San Francisco. Good luck visiting there and one of the countries in South America.

I'm not an outdoorsy kinda guy, so the main reason I would go to any other country would either be their culture or their women. France - women (I hear) Ireland - My mother-culture Germany - my mother-&-father culture the Orient (China, Japan, Thailand, N & S Korea, somewhere over there) - women Greece ... isn't that where the Isle of L`esbos is?

Just 5??!! Wow, it's really hard to limit the places I want to go to. I've been lucky to have travelled to some amazing places, so assuming that returning to those places do not count, I will have to say Greece, Morocco, China, India and Argentina.

I hope that you will be able to fit in a trip to Thailand. You might be able to fly there to save on time.

Well I was just writing earlier how I would not want to visit to many places these days due to the turmoil affecting so many countries. If all was good throughout the world I would love to visit, Ireland, for the green pastures and pubs, Australia, for the wildlife, Italy, for the food. I would also love to visit Greece, just because it looks beautiful. I'm not sure I will ever get to these places in my lifetime but I can dream.

If I have an opportunity to visit around the world, I want to go to the Makkah(Mecca), Saudi Arabian for pilgrimage, and want to England in the winter to see snow around the ground, because I stay in tropical country where never see snow abundant on the ground. I want to feel cool weather in the winter. I think it is an impressed experience.
