Anybody on here heavy on travelling? / Which places have you travelled to?

[madgame]

Has any of you guys travelled a lot?

Even if you haven't travelled a lot, but just a little, feel free to share your experiences with me about those places lol...I'm basically just wondering what would be interesting places to see/live...

I've thought about Canada (Toronto/Montréal)..rather than the U.S. not because I dislike the US or anything..not at all, but b/c I like cities with good public transport (plus the cost of living is usually cheaper etc.), Southern France (as I speak french) and Spain (don't speak any spanish (yet..?), but I've been to Spain before and it was simply amazing) before...and Tokyo/Hong Kong/NYC as places to definetly see (I'm from germany)...Is NYC really as great as anyone says (as a place to see)?

Anyways, any input (about other places or whatever) is highly appreciated....as well as any other useful information considering travelling (I for example have found out, that it's a whole lot cheaper to book a flight and a hotel room by yourself on the internet plus use public transport (if its good) to get to your hotel, b/c nobody charges you a whole lotta extra money without doing anything for you other than booking the damn vacation).....

How are youth hostels, though? I've heard they were more like cheap hotels nowadays?

Grindelwald, Switzerland is my favorite place to go.

Paris was cool the first few times I went, but the more I went my expiriences there got progressively worse, from having a great time to getting in a fist fight with my best friend after getting lost in the metro having drank 2 bottles of $1 wine and knocking his tooth out. I won't be going back there.

Defenitely check out Amsterdam! And eat some Space Cakes while you're there!!

San Sebastion Spain, college town, right on the north coast of spain, so many beautiful women.

And anywhere in Hawaii, I was in Honolulu, which is like...the San Francisco of Hawaii and it was STILL pretty damn fun.

Don't go to Florida. Fvck Florida!

Canada is fun, if you go there, go to Victoria Island, just north of Washington right off the coast. It's beautiful out there.

Canterbury, England is a very nice town as well. They still have cobblestone roads.

EDIT: Pretty much ANYwhere in Switzerland is beautiful and you're garunteed to have a good time.

Has anyone ever gone to places like Egypt or Morocco or Israel (minus the conflict over there right now)? Is it any good? I'm into Persian chicks, as well as their culture and ****, so I'm considering traveling around there as well as Europe after I graduate.

Switzerland? What did you like so much about it..tell me? Maybe it's a bit different for you than for me, because it's probably a lot different from California, but maybe not thaaat different from germany? Actually I've been to Switzerland when I was pretty young, but I don't remember any of it. Sounds nice, though, I think I'll definetly give it a try. As to Paris..well..okay I understand that you don't feel like going back there..I've been there before, too (once) and I think I'll definetly head back (especially cause it's only a one hour flight from here and flights are pretty cheap)...though not that soon, I guess...

@Dog: I haven't been to any of those places myself, but there's always cheap vacation packages to Egypt and Tunisia(sp?) etc. a couple of friends of mine have gone there and I think they liked it, but probably spent most of their time at the beach with their g/f etc. (that sorta vacation).
Speaking of Morocco however, I mean if you consider travelling there and around Europe maybe you know that already, but I only realized just HOW damn close Morocco is to Europe. Take a look at a map and see for yourself how close Morocco is to Southern Spain (Sevilla for example). I remember reading the travel blog of somebody who made like a half-day trip to Morocco from Spain with the ferry or something..it's really that close......but then again for you american guys (I assume you are from the U.S. too?) probably everything in Europe is damn close...I never really thought of it, but it's kind of like in Europe you have all the variety and diversity you have in the U.S. for example, despite the place being a lot smaller (which makes it easier to travel). For example I live in the middle of Europe (germany) and have been to southern Spain (pretty much the farthest place in Europe from me, I guess) and a flight there takes about 2 hours. I've flought to Paris and a flight there takes 1 hour. Just to let you know...if you plan on travelling throughout Europe (and Morocco/Egypt/etc.) that shouldn't be a problem at all as everything is closeby
