Most beautiful places you've ever been.

[boingyman]

If I had to pick just one it would probably be the alps seen from Northern Italy near the border of France/Switzerland back in 2014. My wife's sister lives north of Turin in the countryside. We visited them for a few days and they took us out there. Her husband is a photographer so he knows all the scenic spots. I was amazed and didn't expect to see that since it wasn't part of our itinerary. I have photos somewhere on a old external hard drive. If I find some I'll post it.

I grew up in Hawaii though and I've seen some beautiful scenery that was underappreciated back then. I've also seen a lot of beautiful spots in California/Oregon/Washington. Believe it or not too, but Hong Kong has some beautiful places of nature that most tourist don't go to, especially on some of the small islands. I'll be in Hong Kong in 6 weeks and still debating if I want to hike one of them.

It’s kind of cliche to say this, but Hawaii. I’ve been to Maui twice (I know it’s for fucking tourists, that’s what I am), and it was just beautiful.

Not the kind of beauty where it only looks that way if you’re standing in a specific spot at the right time of day. But the kind of beauty where it’s always beautiful, and beautiful up close. Beaches with water warm enough to swim in. And you can see everything under the water.

I appreciate that because while we do have beaches I’m California, the water is too damn cold.

Growing up, we'd go on holiday to Bavaria, Germany every year. For sure it's a special place

Banff, Alberta.
Amazing place.

I want to visit castle neu-whatever so bad. It looks amazing. And Hallstatt, though I heard it’s small and just a day trip. Not Bavaria, but it’s close enough

Im in Maui now and it's true. Every random beach we pull over for is like a postcard. The snorkeling is incredible.



Just a random spot we pulled over on the side of the road for this morning

God there's some places I've been that don't exist anymore. Sleeping on a shore of a lake created by a beaver that eventually died and the blockade slowly faded away to turn into marshland again. Making the lake seem just like a dream that never existed.
I'm sadly not a world traveler, but I've literally been across half of Canada.
I'd say for me, and it's a place sadly not talked about a lot for Canada, is Ouimet Canyon.

Yes, that is exactly what I'm looking for when I think of a German holiday. One of my dream trips. Beautiful

Banff, Alberta.
Amazing place.

My brother did a show up there like 15-18 years ago.
He said it was gorgeous, and now I know he wasn't bullshiting lol

The Galápagos Islands and it isn’t even close…my son and I had an incredible time.

I always find it amazing how they can build complexed buildings like a castle in high elevation.

That's so cool.

It's a big-time bucket lister.

You wouldn't be disappointed.

I went to the park, which was great, but my fondest memories are from a Vancouver-Calgary train ride when I was a teen. The train's aeration system broke down and they had to open the top half of all the doors between the wagons.

So I spent a huge part of the trip with friends leaning on a door, talking and watching all the beauty around us. It was an amazing experience.
