My bed, miss it every morning.
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.

I haven’t been around much, but Prague was so beautiful.
This is my answer too! I can never decide if I liked Prague or Brussels more!
Both highly underrated places to visit for Americans imo.
Agreed. The Charles Bridge, the Klementinum, the cobbled streets…
That’s on my want-to-go list!
So 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 activities (see edit) and it helps coming from the states my money is worth a bit more. Man… It’s been too long… I wanna go back.
edit - my favorite things to do is the tam tams, frites alors (hands down my favie resturant), there’s a lot of beautiful cathedrals… the aboritory is awesome. all the ‘lil x towns’ are legit too… man… i need to go back. i recommend going during the jazz fest if you can afford it.
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.
Went to Montreal for a long weekend in 2005 and had so much fun! I love it there and would like to go back.
Montreal is getting the new REM. Plus, Montreal isn’t that rude. I just think Midwesterners love to complain.
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.
Disney Land and theme parks in particular aren’t for me but it would be very silly for me to claim I don’t understand why other people enjoy them. Especially someone not from America.
Have you been to Disneyland Paris?
Porto, Portugal.
That said, it was a great place to visit, but I don’t know if I would want to live there.
Deosai National Park. The 2nd highest plateus in the world. Its absolutely beautiful. Just google it!
PAX - before there was PAX Prime or PAX East.
<3I haven’t been to many places, but i really enjoyed Washington DC. I walked all over and saw many embassies, experienced most of the free museums, saw many monuments, and learned that it could get so humid in the summer that I would have to buy new clothes lol. historic buildings and decent public transportation. The restaurants in the area i was were amazing. many fond memories to look back on. i intend to visit again with my wife and kids eventually.
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.
Iceland, followed closely by Finland.
My grandparent’s cottage on a lake in Maine. I arrive and instantly am 100% relaxed. The challenges of the interpersonal dynamics of a few dozen relatives are no match for the raw vibes.
My home and my best friend’s home, not much else aside from those too.
This has strong Always Sunny energy
I definitely try.
Moraine Lake, Alberta, Canada. And the Jungfraujoch, Switzerland. Just stunning.
