Foreign travel - where you been lately?

Spaniard, currently living in Spain.

  1. Scot… no, wait, England, as I stopped in London on the way back. Well, both are UK :slight_smile:
  2. I’m thinking Portugal. Never been to Lisbon; I have a 3-day weekend coming up at the end of February… either that or for Easter… or maybe May 1st… I really should go research whether Easter is a good time to visit Lisbon or not.
  3. Canada, and I want to go back to Italy (I’ve only been on the north). I’d like to have a long stay in Greece at some point, long enough to learn the language to the point of being able to have simple conversations without mangling the grammar six ways to hell (went to Athens and Crete for my “mid-major trip” in college).
  1. The Netherlands.

  2. The US.

  3. Next “I really want to go there” is Austria - exploring my roots - but I suspect if I got started it would be easier to list the countries I’m not particularly interested in.

  1. What was the last foreign country you visited? Hong Kong in December 2010.
  2. What’s the next one you plan to visit? Probably Italy. No firm plans yet.
  3. What’s the one you want to get to before you cash in? Australia.

American.

  1. Canada (Vancouver, BC)
  2. Russia, 7-8 years from now. It probably won’t be the next country we visit, but it’s the only one we currently have plans to visit.
  3. Greece

American.

  1. Greece
  2. Chile, and other South American countries next year
  3. Hammerfest, Norway: To see the Midnight Sun.

American

  1. I don’t know if it really counts since they’re a commonwealth, but Puerto Rico
  2. Several islands in the southern Carribean
  3. Bali
  1. What was the last foreign country you visited?
    Singapore for work, with a short layover in Narita in both directions.

  2. What’s the next one you plan to visit?
    Probably Thailand, my mother-in-law has been pestering us to visit and claims she’ll pay for the trip.

  3. What’s the one you want to get to before you cash in?
    Maybe China or Indonesia. Japan would also be interesting. Would like to go to the World Cup in Brazil, but have no intention of visiting Qatar.

I’m American, Mrs Shibb has dual Thai/USA citizenship as does our daughter. We’re hesitant to get our son Thai citizenship since they have mandatory national service for males.

  1. Tunisia, last April.
  2. China, this April/May.
  3. I really want to go everywhere, so it’s hard to narrow it down to just one place. East Africa and India are high up on the list.

I’m an American living in the US.

Canadian in Toronto…

*1. What was the last foreign country you visited? *
England/Wales/Serbia/Turkey all in a single vacation in July 2010

*2. What’s the next one you plan to visit? *
Don’t have any plans yet, but then just after our Tanzania trip in April 2008 I didn’t imagine the 2010 trip.
Actually, I want to take the family out west to Saskatchewan, while not foreign it’ll end up costing as much as if it is.

3. What’s the one you want to get to before you cash in?
China or Japan…or maybe the North Korea trip they did on the Vice Guide.

  1. Southern Italy, all the way back in July (sob)
  2. A toss up between back to Italy or somewhere more exotic – maybe Thailand – around April/May depending on how the finances stretch (not looking good as of this point)
  3. Argentina/Brazil adventure. I want to stay on a ranch and drink Argentinian Malbec with a big steak on hand.

(Brit living in London).

If you don’t mind my asking - why Uzbekistan? I mean, yes, Samarkand was extremely cool - but modern-day Uzbekistan is a fairly unpleasant dictatorship. Sounds like a rather grim place to visit.

American.

  1. Technically, my most recent country visited is Japan, but that was merely ten hours spent in Tokyo on the way home from Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. To me, the real answer is Vietnam.
  2. Possibly Italy. My husband has suddenly gotten really into the idea of Rome, but we tend to figure out when we’ll be able to go away about a week before we can actually go, then throw a bunch of stuff at Kayak and see where we can get for reasonable money. It could also be China, India, or Greece, with Indonesia as a dark-horse candidate.
  3. I want to go on safari. Kosher safaris cost about $10,000/per person for a week plus airfare, so this isn’t happening any time soon.

American living in rural Virginia.

  1. Bahamas, about 10ish - 15ish years ago.
  2. No plans. Going anywhere out of the US is prohibitively expensive.
  3. The moon. Scotland if the moon doesn’t count.
