My very first place is not a place in fact, but the reason why. I just want to see the northern lights... just that.

Anywhere where I can see the northern lights.

Then I would visit some places with a beautiful beach view.

Fiji
Hawaii
Philippines

And then, some place with snow.

Switzerland
Norway
Finland

So, if Norway was also a beach place, I would list only that country to my list 🤣

Huuummm, beach and snow at the same time??? This is not an easy one.

But one of the most interesting places where I've been is Marakesh, in Morocco. You've got the Atlas mountains very near, with Oukaïmeden being the highest ski resort in Africa. And golden sandy beaches are not far away! So, it might meet your requirements, with additional things too!

Additionally, it's where I had the most surreal temperature experience: 46ºC, very low humidity and windy. Got in the pool, it was OK, but when I got out, I started shivering with cold! It lasted about 30 seconds. I couldn't believe it, so I got in the pool again 😂😂😂 I had to think a little bit what was going on, so I shivered several times, in and out of the pool 🤣🤣🤣 To understand what was going on, my previous experiences with zeers helped a little bit 😃

LOL, I am imagining you getting in, getting out the pool and taking notes on a notebook for experience purposes.

I remember when I went to Chile, San Pedro de Atacama, in the geysers, outside around -9ºC, inside pool (thermal waters from underground) around 40ºC. It was a pain to get out and put clothes on. And I have it on tape, https://youtu.be/JSgd2vM2_jc?t=96 🤣

Let's kick the temperature difference a little bit higher? How about entering the 300 Club? 🤣🤣🤣

Prague and Budapest are perfect city break locations - and not so distant, highly recommend them!

Ireland rocks! They really call it a "green island" for a reason, it's so relaxing to travel around rural areas there 🇮🇪

I'd go with the following:

1. New Zeeland, preferably with a helicopter to the places where they shot Lord of the Rings.

2. Iceland during a northern light. Even though I'm from Sweden I never saw a really clear one. Iceland seems like a great place to see it first

3. Hawaii, the relaxed island vibe seems great

4. One of the Caribbean islands, perfect beaches and crystal clear water sounds like a nice vacation

Last month there were northern lights visible across half of Poland, sadly the sky was rather cloudy. Seems like I'll need to travel somewhere above the Polar Circle to see this phenomenon after all 🤔

This is a good one ! 😎

Still waiting for the opportunity to visit Lapland and ride a dog sled

And definitely will want to visit again:

The Rocky Mountains with RV
Northern India on a motor bike
Hạ Long Bay with a cruise ship
Drive slowly all The Pacific Coast Highway Road Trip
Track by foot from the old city of Jerusalem to the deepest place on earth the Dead Sea

Now I really need a vacation 🍸

I love to travel, and out of many places I want to go, I chose three places.

1. Montreal, Canada🇨🇦
My daughter was studying abroad in 2019 at McGill University in Montreal. She often told me about the charm of Montreal, which is called the "Paris of North America."

2. New York Yankees Stadium
I like baseball, so it's a place I'd like to visit once.⚾

3. Grand Canyon
It happened in 1996 when I visited the United States🇺🇸 on my honeymoon. My wife and I flew from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon on a small plane🛩. However, due to bad weather⛈, we were unable to land at the airport and the plane turned back, which was very disappointing.😞 It's been a long time since then, but I hope to visit the Grand Canyon one day.

Seems like you're having a outstanding passion for Europe, Chad!

Iceland should tick three boxes off your list: snow ✔️, beaches (black sand!) ✔️ and northern lights!
