Countries you have visited or want to visit.

[Moinul Moin]

Hi everyone!

I'd love to get to know my fellow Talossans a bit better. What's one country you've visited that left a lasting impression on you, or one country you dream of visiting someday? I'd be interested to hear what attracts you to those places—history, culture, food, scenery, or something else.

Looking forward to the discussion!

My own answer:

I have traveled to Nepal and India so far.

In the future, I would love to visit Spain, mainly to visit the stadiums of FC Barcelona and Real Madrid and experience the football culture firsthand.

Germany is another country high on my list, as I would love to see the home of famous companies such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Volkswagen.

I would also like to visit the United Kingdom, especially London, to see Buckingham Palace and take a photo with the King's Guards.

France is another dream destination of mine. I would love to visit the Eiffel Tower and, of course, the Talossan province of Cézembre.

One memorable thing from my trip to Nepal was seeing people do bungee jumping. I didn't try it myself, but it was amazing to watch.

As for India, the most impressive sight was undoubtedly the Taj Mahal. Seeing such an iconic monument in person was a remarkable experience.

So that's Bavaria for BMW (Munich) and Audi (Ingolstadt), Baden-Württemberg for Mercedes-Benz and Porsche (Stuttgart) and Lower Saxony for Volkswagen (Wolfsburg). I highly recommend Bavaria though, specifically the Alpine regions, especially at Lake Constance, Lindau specifically.

So far, I've been to Poland (obviously, the rest of my family is there), Italy, Holy See, France, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia (transit), Croatia, the Netherlands (transit), Belgium (transit), Czechia (transit) and the UK.

I would want to visit Portugal, Malta, Morocco, Greece, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, Canada and the US (when there will be a government ran by the Democrats).

For me, it's Japan, Canada, Colombia, Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, France, Hungary, Greece, Turkiye, Italy, and Switzerland.

Thank you for the recommendations! Bavaria and Lindau sound wonderful, and I'll definitely keep them in mind if I ever get the chance to visit Germany. @Barclamïu da Miéletz

Interesting! Out of curiosity, why would you recommend avoiding Berlin? @Barclamïu da Miéletz

A huge list😊

[King Txec]

I have lived in the US and Germany. I've visited Canada, Mexico, England, Scotland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Austria, Denmark, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Israel, and Jordan. I've been to 47 of the 50 states in the US, and lived in 3 different states (Oklahoma, Maryland, and California since 1986.)

My favorite places are London, Edinburgh, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and a whole host of German cities, but most especially Rottenburg ob der Tauber and Wildflecken. When I lived in Germany, the east was communist so I never visited that part of the country.

Horrible city, isn't even beautiful (is also overrated). There's also lots of criminal activity. Visit Munich, Augsburg and Lindau instead.

Not at all, I find football to be rather boring but I have a friend from childhood who adores the game. I love his love of the game but I'd rather watch tennis or bowling.

As a lover of history, visiting the Parthenon in Athens and the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul were highlights.

Your majesty @King Txec, you've traveled far more than most people ever will! It must be fascinating to have experienced so many different countries and cultures. Thanks for sharing your journey.

That's understandable! While I'm a football fan, I can certainly appreciate the appeal of tennis. But most of football fans visit Argentina and Brazil.

I've been to Berlin once, it was fine.

[Gjermund Higraff]

So far: Norway (where I live), Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Netherlands, Czech republic, Slovakia, Ireland, UK (all parts except Wales), Spain, Portugal, Italy, Gibraltar, Romania, USA (incl. Talossa), Mexico. A lot of this is work related, but not all. Of these my best memories are of Ireland, but not the touristy stuff. Just staying in the small towns, while going around the island. I've been around the whole island a couple of times, but I've only spent 2 hours in Dublin in that time, and I don't think I missed anything :)

As for where I'd want to go, I want to say Nepal. I'd like to do a hike to some of the villages on the Everest trail, but for medical reasons (and money), it's not something that's likely to happen.

I've been to Berlin once, it was fine.

I personally did not enjoy my time there, maybe because I stayed in Ostkreuz.

What I found kind of sad is I didn't fully get to see the Brandenburg Gate as it was under renovation, most likely because of climate activists.
