I loved quiet Eastern Thailand so I moved there. Of all of the places I have lived on the planet, this has been far & away the most ‘home’-like place I have been. Previously when I would travel & return to my domicile, I would be filled with a sense of something wrong if not dread, but here when I get back to my province or city, I generally get excited & happy every time.
The Rift (south-eastern Skyrim)
Aulani. Beautiful, peaceful, just… made my soul happy.
Mont-Saint-Michel definitely was a special place. Already driving up to it and seeing it from a distance was surreal and then walking through this tightly packed place seemingly in the middle of the sea is unlike anything else.
Deosai National Park. The 2nd highest plateus in the world. Its absolutely beautiful. Just google it!
My wife and i went to Tortola in '99. Everything went wrong, and we still had a good time. If things had gone right, we might have never left.
That said, the off-trail areas of the state parks of north NY, NJ, PA, up to Canada and into Vermont) are where I feel most at peace. A quiet cabin on a lake ten miles from a small town would be a perfect place to retire to.
Porto, Portugal.
That said, it was a great place to visit, but I don’t know if I would want to live there.
My bed, miss it every morning.
PAX - before there was PAX Prime or PAX East.
<3So covids def changed the place, but I’m rooting for it… But I love Montreal, QC. I know Quebec gets hate for being rude to non French speakers but I’ve genuinely only had one bad experience and it was a McDonald’s outside Montreal… But the food is great, they have a lot to do both indoor and outdoor and it helps coming from the states my money is worth a bit more. Man… It’s been too long… I wanna go back.
Montreal is getting the new REM. Plus, Montreal isn’t that rude. I just think Midwesterners love to complain.
Went to Montreal for a long weekend in 2005 and had so much fun! I love it there and would like to go back.
I was in Montreal for the eclipse, I’m sure it was a very busy tourist weekend and they were ready for the influx of us English speakers coming to town, but I didn’t have any issues anywhere.
It was probably my favorite city I’ve ever visited. Everything we ate was amazing, even when we just stopped into some random hole in the wall Chinese takeout place for a quick bite.
Public transit blew anything I’ve ever experienced in the states clean out of the water. I was also kind of in awe at how bikeable the city was.
There’s not many cities I’ve visited that I’m itching to go back to, but I’m definitely planning to go back sometime.
Look people are going to come at me for this, but I’m not american and for me disney world was literally the most magical place I’ve ever been. I went there about 4 or 5 times during my life and everytime I was amazed. By the perfection of everything, the power to make you forget your problems, how every tiny detail is thought about… also how everything is incredibly expensive. Idk, maybe americans have access to a lot of theme parks but I don’t and I love the rides and how sometimes we have to stop and look 2 or 3 times to understand how they did something.
… also call me dumb but paris is soooooo boring
American, love Disney for the reasons you said. We go every few years since we all enjoy it. They go to great lengths to ensure it feels magical every time.

Amed a small town on the north coast of Bali. Spent all day snorkeling the reef.
New Zealand by far. Nature was just so awesome.
Moraine Lake, Alberta, Canada. And the Jungfraujoch, Switzerland. Just stunning.
