Most beautiful places you've ever been.

[Meatspin]

Switzerland, Iceland, Norway my favourites so far

Wanted to go there when I was in Peru but didn’t have the time

Ima be an A-hole and be the guy that says you missed out.

I went for Machu Picchu, which was the top of my bucket list for most of my life. I added that hike up the mountain right before I left for the trip, and I am so glad I did. It was other worldly amazing. Difficult to breathe, but worth every step. Everyone stayed at the rainbow mountain part, but a guide and I went over to the red valley portion. You can kind of see the trail leading there to the right of the top picture. Red Valley was worth the trip alone. I'll need to find the panorama I took but it was legit breath taking, both literally and figuratively.

Leaving Santander by ferry with the Picos de Europa in the background sticks in my mind as being particulrly beautiful. The funny thing for me was so many of the other British tourists just went straight to the bar and stayed there. Not me though

Spoiler

I went to the bar bought a pint then went to the back deck and watched the ship leaving harbour.

USVI was nice. I went a year before the bad hurricane there. St John was my favorite. Short ferry ride to get there. Turtle bay was so nice and relaxing. It was only place I been that beat Hawaii beaches. Calm ocean, lots of fish around that aren't disturbed with your presence, and not a lot of people for a beautiful beach.

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

If Prince Zerwig of Bavaria had become ruler of Germany the world would be a better place.

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 assume you went around both Piemonte and Valle D'Aosta, if you liked it that much, i suggest try Trentino Alto Adige wich is same but better

 

[NoSmilez]

Probably Bora Bora.

Khao Sok National park in Thailand was amazing. I slept on a bungalow on the lake like this. I woke up early to catch the sunrise and jump straight into the lake from my bed. If you're lucky you could see wild elephants. Super touristy though.

I went to an island in Indonesia with a beach that is pink because of a red coral that grows there. The water was crystal clear so the visibility when you're snorkeling was insane. They made it illegal to people to inhabit the island so everything was pristine. The grand canyon and Yosemite are definitely up there too.

Lived in S America for 5 years and probably moving back in a few years. We will get there.

I believe in you! It's so worth it.

Grand Canyon, most breathtaking
Hawaii
In between some legs

Ya i was going to say the Grand Canyon and Hawaii for two very different views.

I would also add the approach drive in to Banff Alberta. I have been to many different mountain ranges but there is something special about the drive up approach to Banff Rockies. My breath was taken away the first time i did it.

 

[Gigacardio]

The Virgin Islands (both the British and the American ones)

Tahiti and all of French Polynesia

Seychelles

New Zealand

Prague

 

[Gigacardio]

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

That's a fur seal cub, right? Was its mother OK with you being so close to it?
