Thirteen of my favourite places in the world (in no particular order).
1. Italy - Rome and Florence have great food and art to overload on. Sitting under a tree in Tuscany with a bottle of red wine and an assortment of cheeses - could life get much better?
2. Mexico - Deserts, rainforests, fantastic beaches, great food, vibrant colours, the cheapest and best hammocks you'll ever find and brilliant hospitality wherever you go.
3. Belize - is this entire country on holiday? Brilliant beaches (fantastic diving), stunning rainforests, and oh - those accents.
4. Malawi - Friendly, happy people (though one of the poorest countries on earth); you cannot leave here without making friends.
5. Lesotho - a tiny country reliant on South Africa for virtually everything. Stunning scenery and great hikes.
6. Canada - so much like Australia and yet so far away. And so damn cold in winter.
7. Namibia - the deserts, the sand dunes... dune buggying, sand boarding and skydiving are all a must. And if you're not that adventurous, the game parks are great!
8. Ireland - as with Belize, the accents - could make your heart melt. And the pubs and the lushness of it all. Coz of the rain... As an ex once said (who was Irish), "it'd be such a lovely place, if you could only put a roof on it."
9. Greece - tell them you're Australian and the LOVE you (since everyone has/had family there at one stage or another. Amazing food, great towns - the Pelopponese is a little known must.
10. Jordan - Petra. Enough said. Take a camera. Amman is nice as well. Maybe wait a while until it is a little safer...?
11. Fiji - do I need to explain? Is as stunning as all the pictures you've ever seen. And the people are so friendly. And the Kava will steal all your inhibitions.
12. Kenya - safari, safari, safari. So many. Guaranteed to see amazing animals. And if you're a meat eater, Carnivores in Nairobi is SO WORTH a visit.
13. Cayman Islands - diving. Stingray city - snorkel so close to the rays that they'll sit on you (right Michelle?).
Must I stop at 13????

my hubby is from Melbourne...his dad works in Sydney at the moment, but is hoping to get back to Melbourne soon...well, actually some little town I couldn't hope to remember. I thought I was doing good to remember Nar Nar Goon, but then they had to go and move.
Thanks for visiting my list!

Tanya, Have you been to all these places? I could certainly add a few more places to that list.
An amazing list--and so many in Africa. You must be quite the traveler. I love the quote about Ireland--hadn't heard that before.
Thanks for stopping by my TT.

Trying to Catch Up: Thursday Thirteen
I would personally love to visit Ireland!!
Great list. Mine are up.
Yes, I've been to all these places (and then some). Being a travelling bum for seven years, you get to see a few things here and there. Some of the best times of my life were spent in far-flung corners of the globe :)
Wow... I could only dream of visiting all those places. I've been to half the US and Mexico and that's it.
My 13 are up...
Wow, I would LOVE to go to these places. I have such a travelling heart...but it will have to wait:-(

Great 13! My TT is up too.
I am so happy that you shared SOME of the lovely places that you have traveled to. Now how about sharing some of those pictures too?
You are by far a very well traveled individual, and who cares that you got started into the work force 10 years later than your co-workers...they have just missed out on all the wonderful experiences that you have!!
I am missing Spain on your list, lol! Rome and Florence are my favorites! thanks for visiting my TT
Ahhhhhh... #9 is my MUST! I MUST get there before I die! Followed by #8! You are soooooooo lucky to have visited all these places! ... or maybe I should say you are so organized and prioritized and good at saving money! Because really... you didn't just "luck" into these trips now did you? LOL! GOOD for you!!!
My list is up!
I am missing Spain on your list, lol! Rome and Florence are my favorites! thanks for visiting my TT

I'm totally with you on #2. We go to Puerto Vallarta and do the rainforest ziplining. Have you ever? You must! What an adrenalaine rush!
Love the list - more places for me to be depressed about not visiting ;).
Mmm... they sound wonderful. Several are my favorite places, too!

I loved your exotic locations!
I've been to a few of those on your list (Italy, Mexico, and Canada (of course I live there and yes the winters suck but spring is around the corner YYIIPPEE), and would love to see more. I think seeing the world is a great thing that I hope my kids will love to do as well.
