Kauai and Maui. Only two Hawaiian island I've been to. Kauai if you want scenic hikes and Allerton Gardens is a must see. Maui if you want great food.

Door County Wisconsin and associated Washington Island when the lavender fields are in bloom.

House on the Rock in Spring Green Wisconsin. I don't care how far away you live, you should see this place. It's either a monument to a man's ascent to brilliance... Or of his decent into madness. Words really cannot do this place justice, it's just insane.

Red River Gorge, Kentucky. One of the greatest concentrations of natural bridges and arches in the world. I have spent years hiking in and around this area and still don't think I've seen all the arches. Come with your hiking boots and be prepared for moderate to difficult hikes that can include some climbing.

Banff Canada: Took a ski trip to that area back in 1999. It's an absolutely spectacular area. Lake Louise is still my favorite place to ski after all these years.

I've heard the Grand Canyon is impressive as hell and worth a look.

My spare bedroom. It's great and can be yours for the low low price of £200 per night. Breakfast included!

^but if its a Friday night you have to put the bins out.^

Prague! Went there last September and had a great time. Beautiful and very walkable city, friendly people, and very affordable too. The city castle is an impressive site to behold, and one of the most touristy ones, but very doable if you go in the morning. But there are many other notable things to do and visit, such as the cold-war bunker under the Yalta hotel and the alchemy museum in the Jewish district. If you decide to visit, I would also recommend branching out for a couple of days to visit other cities like Pilsen (where pilsner beer comes from) or Liberec.

Mt. Fuji was beautiful. Ideally you should hire a car and drive around it, theres a series of small lakes, and each time you round a corner you get another beautiful view of the mountain over a different waterfront.

Milford Sound, especially when it’s raining, especially if you an trek there.

I went to the Meiji Jingu in Tokyo on a rainy day (so less crowded) and... Yeah, wow. Didn't even take any photos, I was just enraptured the whole time. Beautiful environment, beautiful shrine.

The Roman Forum. The Colosseum is cool but way overrated. The Forum is so huge you can easily spend multiple days just wandering around enjoying its history.

10/10 would recommend.

The highlands in Scotland. Beautiful in their entirety.

Pictures don't do it justice, I'd recommend a guided tour. Also you get to feed highland cows. They're all pets btw. This is Honey.

Most national parks. Especially Yellowstone is amazing.

Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum. Not a "nice" or "beautiful" tourist experience, obviously, but an extremely impressive one. I'm not a very emotional person, and have no personal link to the Holocaust, but one of the few times of my adult life I cried was when I visited the memorial site.

Gullfoss Falls in Iceland:

Just stunningly beautiful and close to Reykjavík. It'd be a massive mistake to visit Iceland and not see this

My personal one that's not overrated. Hiroshima in Japan.

It's a wonderful city to visit even after you've been to the Museum, which should be a bucket list item for everyone.

The Black Forest in Germany. Although you might want to skip the mass produced cuckoo clocks.

The Grand Canyon is pretty sweet. Yellowstone too.

Montreal is beautiful and fun. People were always polite, food and coffee was amazing. Can't wait to go back

Ive been living in Outback Auatralia for almost 14 years. Got to visit Uluru once.

Took my breath away when it came into view. Over 1000km (thibknitsncloser to 1500km) away from the ocean. Middle of nowhere. A massive rock just sitting there. Of course you feel a spiritual connection.

I don't fully understand the cultural significance behind it, but I 110% respect the owners of the land, and what they believe in.

Machu Picchu. It does get crowded but we went first thing in the morning and it was peaceful. And it is stunning in a stunning place.

Loch Ness. I thought it was gonna be kinda cheesy and a regular lake beyond that. I can see why Aleister Crowley and Jimmy Page chose to live there now. Absolutely stunning.

Venice. Nothing close to it anywhere on earth.

EDC Vegas ✌️ fantastic time, everyone's so thrilled to be there.

The North Shore of Lake Superior, in Minnesota. You need a car, though.

Nice try. I'm not spoiling them by sharing.

My own answer that prompted me thinking - French Riviera/Cote d'Azur

I think I somehow expected it to be full of massive resorts like so many seaside destinations.

Don't get me wrong, 100% of that coast is built up, no unused space at all. But in such a way that it's still beautiful.

Banff, Jasper, and all the Canadian Rockies in between. Especially if you like hiking in out-of-the-way locations.

Also New Zealand’s South Island.

Gaudi architecture is legit amazing and worth the wait and crowds. Didn't even have time to see the sagrada familia, just the hotel and the park. Then we had the worst meal of my life in a tourist trap resteraunt on las ramblas. Even including that, so worth it.

Jiufen, taiwan - the village that people falsely claim inspired miyazaki's spirited away - is also just incredible. The views, the winding lantern-bedecked staircase, the teahouses. It's crowded and full of touristy knick knacks but i still took everyone who visited.

bora bora. 10/10 its amazing
