This might sound a bit crazy but I got a 'game' for my sons vr machine and it was about world travels (think it was by lonely planet).
You pick anywhere in the world and 'land' there and get to look around.
It works off Google Street maps but it's a more imersive view. You can be standing on a cliff edge in Mongolia or in a residential street in Australia, its really interesting and a great chance to see places x

Not crazy at all but incredibly cool! Ive done that on Google maps a few times looking at New York! xx

I love Australia, going back next year for our 5th visit and including two cities we haven’t been to yet. Off the back of that, snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef and The Whitsundays, just stunning.

Love Barbados and Capetown, not so keen on NYC for the same reasons as a pp. Also loved Cambodia, Vietnam and Bali

On my ‘go to’ list is The Maldives and Costa Rica

You've been to such cool places

I've put cape town on my list, hadn't even thought of it, and also Vietnam 😍

We went to Canada over the summer (BC) and it was by far the best place I’ve been.

I’m desperate to go to Japan. I’d really love to go to San Francisco too.

Omg I want to go to Frisco!

Lots of all places with amazing diving I’d love to visit still.

Best places I’ve been:

  • Iguazu Falls - just wow!
  • Guatemala - the Mt Acatenango hike in particular. At the top you camp the night and watch Mt Fuego volcano next to it erupting frequently which is just incredible. And you’re all above the clouds which feels like something out of this world!
  • Philippines - beautiful and incredible diverse scuba diving.
  • Nicaragua
  • Japan
Edited

What a list!

I would love to visit my best friend in Australia.
Best places I have visited are Japan and Italy.

Gotta do it girl, i bet it would be worth it

OP do you have anywhere else on your list? Have you been anywhere on holiday? Is there a reason you haven't travelled much? I hope you get somewhere soon x

sugarandcyanide · 06/10/2025 18:30

Really hard to pick one but if I had to I'd probably be another vote for South Africa.

I love wildlife holidays so I want to go to Uganda to see the gorillas but there are many places on my list!

WonsWoo · 06/10/2025 18:35

I’ve just come back from South Korea. Seoul was a bit overwhelming for me but Busan is lovely. It doesn’t quite pip New York as my favourite place but it came very close.

I’d love to go to Ireland and also the West coast of the US.

pambeesleyhalpert · 06/10/2025 18:36

Want to go to Japan, best place I’ve been is Canada

Get booking!

I didn't realise Japan would be so popular. We should organise a group trip!

mumofoneAloneandwell · 06/10/2025 16:30

Thank you - Yes would love to visit Toronto

I'm a Drake fan, so would love to see 'The 6' which he talks about loads

I'm off to Canada later this week 🇨🇦 It'll be my third time (I have family there) and I love it. Doing a bit travelling around this time.

I've been lucky to have travelled a lot over the years (the silver lining to infertility 🙂) and I don't have a "list" any more. So I let DH choose and if he's stuck we'll do a Greek island

My best holiday is usually the last one but I have to say last year's safari trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar was pretty special.

My favourite places though are Slovenia and Greece. I'd love to live in Ljubljana or Athens.

diditwelldone · 06/10/2025 18:52

Venice
Vancouver/Island
Australia ….going again in November to see my son 🥰

FastFood · 06/10/2025 18:55

Would love to go to Georgia (the country, not the state) and to the Everest south basecamp.

Best places I've been to has been Chernobyl, Belgrade and Hiroshima. I'm a big nerd of 20th century history, but not massively interested in nature (I'm very content with the UK's country side)

MrsHamlet · 06/10/2025 18:56

Georgia (country and state) is/ are both fab. Probably not on the same trip though

WeCouldBeNice · 06/10/2025 18:59

I’d love to visit Vienna.

Favourite so far is lake como. Heading back there next summer for a few days

NapoleonsToe · 06/10/2025 19:00

Best:
Northern lights chasing in the very northernmost part of Finland. The most astonishing sight I've ever seen. Nothing will top it.

Road trip in Western Canada - seeing bears in the wild twice (completely by luck, not a tour) and orcas, was mind blowing

Still want to do:
Swedish summerhouse by a lake.
Svalbard

Isthismykarma · 06/10/2025 19:02

I’ve just come back from Jordan. Petra was incredible but staying in the Wadi Rum desert was just unlike anywhere I’d ever been. I felt so far away from everything.
Also the food just wowwww

LunaTheCat · 06/10/2025 19:05

I live in New Zealand and see the mountains everyday from home … there is currently snow on the tops but it’s going to be 20 degrees today .. I feel lucky.

I have just got back from a safari and Botswana completely blue my mind .. went to the Okavango delta .. that place blew my mind. I would love to go back .. it’s just so expensive.

Best place: Tuscany, just so relaxed and beautiful, peaceful, great rustic food, friendly people, sunshine, the tomatoes…

Would most like to visit: Scottish highlands and Denmark.

Comedycook · 06/10/2025 19:08

I'd love to go to Israel and Iceland.

I've only ever travelled to European countries and the USA. My favourite place is Majorca.

TheeNotoriousPIG · 06/10/2025 19:12

Gosh, there are some very exotic places listed on here! I admit that I'm not well-travelled, and the furthest that I've been is to Germany.

I would like to visit the smaller islands dotted around the coastline of the UK, just to see what life is/was like there (e.g. St Kilda is no longer home to a permanent human population).

I'm very into rural living, though, so I'd probably be quite happy visiting Alaska, the Canadian and American countryside (I love the idea of staying with the Amish!), and rural Austria. The Icelandic countryside is supposed to be nice; most people come back with pictures of the Blue Lagoon, but my friend came back with photos of Icelandic dairy cows instead!

Delphinium20 · 06/10/2025 19:13

I've always wanted to go to the Azores.

Favorite place was Norway, favorite city Vienna.
