Any suggestions of interesting countries to visit?
« on: February 01, 2015, 08:03:19 PM »
I basically plan to travel the continents or Europe, Asia and Africa for the next 1-5 years.

Any suggestions of interesting places to visit?
Sadly Israel, Egypt and Pakistan etc. are out. As is Ukraine. I would love to visit if the world were more peaceful.

I am open to all cultures and do not mind getting by using non-verbal communication.

I am entertaining the idea of South Korea. Plus also find North Africa and the mid-east Romantic. Am also willing to wear whatever attire is expected in the culture. I will cover my head if it is respectful.


I know that many NMA fans that love to travel. one told me about a trip to India. i also know one American fan who know works in Moldova. Does anyone have any travel stories to share? 

Where I'm from is not my home, and neither's where i'm bound.

I would like to travel once in my life to some islands at Pacific Ocean.

If you´re in Asia - I´d recommend to visit Indonesia :)

Spend 3 months there, on Java, Bali and a week on Lombok. Most of the time I was in Yogyakarta, with very friendly people, culturally rich, good food (especially in Ramadan when in the evenings all streets are lined with little food stalls and the whole neighbourhoods come together), stunningly beautiful landscapes, Merapi, Borobudur and Prambanan closeby. Riding a scooter in mad mad traffic ;) I encountered no problems roaming around alone as a woman after nightfall.

But it´s also incredibly poor. Seeing the slums in Jakarta - that image and feeling will never leave my mind.

All in all a remarkable experience, one I wouldn´t want to miss. Just be aware of local laws ;)

Only ever really seen Europe. In the British isles Scotland is probably the best place to see. Greek islands are beautiful if you find a non party island.
Hala (from the Anglo-Saxon word "halh", meaning nook or remote valley), until it was gifted by King Henry II to Welsh Prince David Owen and became known as Halas Owen

 Well I have been to Thailand twice. in 2009 & 2010. I had a great time there and not just in Bangkok I was in Hua Hin which is about 80 kl south  and this was a beach resort but still had clubs and bars  and great food and culture  Plus all those beautiful Temples . I would go back in a heartbeat.

 I am trying to get things set up to Go to Cebu Philippines in Sept 2015 that is another place I have heard good reports about as I work with a few Filipinos at my job and  they tell me I would love it there again the culture and food plus they are Islands so that means Beaches and Beach resorts and I will admit I am a Beach bum and on vacation If I can chill out at some exotic beach with one of those exotic drinks listening to some New Model Army  on my headphones ahhh Pure Heaven and I have done that in Thailand and Aruba. As for Aruba  if you want to check out the Caribbean that is a cool place also. Was there in jun 2014. 8)
