What is the best places you have experienced, and why?

I have had several trips to the US, and I love to travel overseas and experience all the different kind of cultures in the America. In USA I thought Seattle, WA was a great place to come and visit, and it may not be the last visit. Many of the trips to the US stands out because I always had a great interest in USA.

The best place I have ever been, may be the French Riviera, by the mediterranean sea, because of the many small towns to explore and the relaxing atmosphere.

Have you any travel destinations that you definitely are coming back too?
 
When I travel in the US I think of food and culture.
San Francisco has great and diverse food and music and culture. Late night jazz and music spots. Lots of great food.
Yellowstone National Park from Bozeman, Montana entrance. Great outdoors experience, just keep your distance from the bison at Old Faithful Geyser. Get an amazing steak at places like Sir Scott's Oasis. In Manhattan, Montana( outside of Bozeman.) Remember the first rule of dining at a steak house, get a steak! This is not fancy dining but western casual.
You can cross country ski in Yellowstone in the Winter and early Spring.

I tend to go to the Sierras a lot, enough to know where many truck ads are shot by just looking at the background. That is my favorite place in the U.S. Anything you want is there. I have done trad climbs in Yosemite and Tahoe (no, I am not anywhere close to Alex Honnold), backpacking, boating (Tahoe), etc. Mount Whitney's Mountaineers Route is a fun little hike.

Here is my travel map:
Black - Done without parents (obviously have gone over many of the routes as family vacations growing up)
Dotted Black - With parents when I was not old enough to drive
Blue - Travel booked!

Iceland. There is no place in the world like it. Period.

My daughter just returned from 6 months studying in Spain (plus an extra two travelling) on a pretty limited budget.

First leg: Portland, NYC, Iceland (only a couple days but got to see the northern lights); London (1 day going from Heathrow to Gatwick via the City shuttled by a friend), Madrid.

Leg Two: nearly six months studying in Madrid with various weekend trips around Spain (and one to Paris to visit a friend) plus a five day surf camp in Morocco during the break.

Leg three: a week on on a WWOOF farm in Granada while waiting for two friends she was going to be travelling with. Paris (again), Berlin, Prague, Budapest, Vienna, Venice, Florence, Rome, Athens--then because of a flight cancellation hit Istanbul (third continent) en route to NYC. Finished with three days on the upper westside with a girl she met in school.

She ended up going a grand over budget which we had to lend her but she has already payed half back. I was pretty impressed. At her age I spent three months in Europe and didn't get half the places (let alone a semester of credits). And if not for standby airline tickets I'd probably be still busking (begging) in a Paris train station!

My favorite place outside the US is France. Specifically Paris and Mont Saint-Michel. My favorite place inside the US is tough, I'm not really much on urban life so I would go with just about any national park. If I had to pick one it would be the Grand Canyon.

Just got back from MWTC out near Bridgeport, CA. The Toiyabe National Forest seems like a pretty neat place although we didn't really traverse too far in. Would definitely consider going back on my own terms rather than to conduct military training.
