Oh boy, so many great options listed above! So many destinations I’d like to see one day 🙈
But if I had to come up with a list:
1. Norway - the last country in Scandinavia I’m yet to visit. I’m so fond of Sweden and Denmark, no doubt that I will love Norway too!
2. Iceland. Seems like such a magical place, with black sands, blue ice and northern lights 😍
3. USA: would love to have an opportunity to go on a road trip all over the states one day, to hike in as many national parks as possible, and see some locations from the movies as well.
4. Japan. From stories and videos I’ve seen, it’s another world! Such a different culture that I’d love to dive in!
5. Madagascar. For the name itself (and the cartoon ), but I’m sure there will be lots of amazing stuff to see and experience as well.
Whenever we go out and then return, there’s no words to describe the feeling of seeing our amazing Castle appearing on the horizon… that’s when you know you’re home ❤️
However, I do have some places I would like to visit (even knowing I will be homesick for the duration of the trip 😂 ).
Some of them I see already here on the list, but here goes:
When heading from Tokyo to Nagoya on the Tokaido Shinkansen, you can see Mt. Fuji on the right side of the direction of travel, and on the left side when heading from Nagoya to Tokyo. But only when the weather is fine.
You hit it right with the topic of the thread in my person’s case :grin:
I just returned from a month-long motorcycle trip through southern Europe with my fiancée. We rode without having a plan for the whole trip and how much time we would spend in a particular place. If we liked it we would stop for a longer period of time, and otherwise we would escape further even on the same day (as we did in Ksiamil (Albania)). We tried local cuisines, slept in strange places, helped with Parma ham production and in the olive grove. We didn’t think about anything related to work and everyday life. Back to the days of school vacations and carefree days.
Below is the route of our trip:
Warsaw - Znojmo (Czech Republic)
Znojmo - Belgrade (Serbia)
Belgrade - Sarajevo - Mostar (Bosnia and Herzegovina).
Mostar - Korcula - Dubrovnik (Croatia).
Dubrovnik - Kotor - Budva - Vlora (Albania).
Vlora - Corfu (Greece)
Corfu - Thessaloniki (Greece)
Thessaloniki - Istanbul (Thrace)
(Ferry) Istanbul - Athens (Greece)
4 days in southern Greece
Zakinthos (2 days)
Kefalonia (2 days)
(Ferry) Patras to Brindisi (Italy)
Sicily (4 days) (Italy)
Messina - Naples (Italy)
Naples - Roma (Italy)
Northern Italy (Bologna, Pisa, Milan, Garda)
A few days back in the Polish Jura Krakowsko-Czestochowska.
Next year we are planning the same one-month trip only in India. And this year still a mass of shorter and longer trips combined with remote work - eh too bad we already have a lack of available vacation
PS: For the trip I packed as a spare Dynatrace socks (it turned out that I didn’t do laundry beforehand xD). Special motorcycle socks didn’t make it and were terribly uncomfortable. My everyday choice was just DT socks. Send me more of them because they are awesome for a motorcycle - I don’t know how this is possible, but it is xD
That’s an amazing experience! I’m dreaming about a similar road trip to explore Balkans, in my case in the meantime I want to include Romania, Bulgaria, Northern Macedonia, Albania, and Montenegro. I have a prepared map for that journey, waiting for a proper time :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
