Have you been to a place no one else has been to?

I'll start. The idea is you name the place and a fellow MNer has to say if they've been there. However, you don't have to wait until you've been somewhere to post. Post your places and you'll meet the MNers who've been there. You can post 1-3 places (random numbers).

I've been to:

Rwanda
The Whisundays
Cathedral Grove (Vancouver Island)

Not spotted anywhere I've been in this skim read, but my attempts...

I have been to

Les Ecrehous
Les Minquiers
Seymour Tower

(All British. All off-shore).

I've saved you the Google since two of them are tricky to spell...

It's so fun reading where everyone has been!
A kinship of fellow travellers. ☺️
Since no one has mentioned these, I'll add: Las Vegas and Grand Canyon, Los Angeles/Hollywood/Burbank; Maui; Miami; Chicago; Montana; and Idaho for USA places in addition to previously mentioned Washington and Oregon.

I'm in YVR, so will say goodnight. Thanks for the thread, OP. 🥰

Much closer than most of these but still going to try as I haven’t seen them mentioned!

Valentia Island, Kerry, Ireland
Fenit Lighthouse, Little Samphire Island, Kerry
Achill Island, Mayo (much more likely to have had Mumsnrt tourists I reckon!)

Hang on, I might still be winning with Greenland...

iloveeverykindofcat · 06/04/2023 08:07

@HallieRaspberry did you like Jaipur? I loved the city. I felt extremely safe, unlike Agra. Except for the palace and security! Never seen such fuck-off massive guns in my life, how much do you really need to stop an intruder?!

JaneFondue · 06/04/2023 08:07

No one's mentioned two of mine either...

Pp who mentioned southernmost tip of India: that's Kanyakumari.

kissthegirlshesnotbehindthedoor · 06/04/2023 08:08

@MangosteenSoda are you a fellow merchant navy-er?

@Mumtobabyhavoc to be fair my Albania experience was a day trip from Corfu, so I can’t fairly claim to have got under its skin!

Mine, too! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

pompomdaisy · 06/04/2023 08:11

I've also been to Flores in Indonesia but so have some Aussies so don't think I will be the only one.

Mumtobabyhavoc · 06/04/2023 08:12

Mumtobabyhavoc · 06/04/2023 08:09

Mine, too! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And my Chicago claim was a 3-hour stop-over. Left the airport by tram for authentic Chicago deep dish pizza at a local resto then hustled back by uber to make my flight! 😁

Maybe here? Not sure, my parents have been to Greenland! I think I'm winning with Buccaneer Bay 😀

@HallieRaspberry I've been to Pokhara- it's the gateway to Annapurna region. Bloody busy with tourists I would say.

FettleOfKish · 06/04/2023 08:17

@magimedi Out of the game and so fast! I was sure I'd be on to at least one winner there GrinGrin

Nowhere better than the Minquies on a beautiful day.

Mumtobabyhavoc · 06/04/2023 07:50

@Kam610 I've also been to Kamloops and Saskatoon. What took you there?

Anyone driven the Oregon coast? Or been to Mt St Helen's? I did WA state down to Salem Oregon. Beautiful scenic coast!

My husband lived in Canada as a teenager, and I had always wanted to go and explore. So for our honeymoon, we flew to Vancouver then drove East to Manitoba, which is where he lived, stopping at lots of different places on the way. Best holiday I've ever had. I love Canada and would like to move there someday.
