I really enjoyed London and the surrounding countryside. The lack of a shopping plaza every 100 feet was a big plus. Paris was okay, the people were quite friendly, but the weather was a little sour. Probably put a hamper on it.
I'm more of a home body so give me a decently sized house NOT in suburbia or in the middle of nowhere and I'll be happy.

Try Granada in Southern Spain - you can ski there in winter and the beach is close by as well.
The problem with skiing there though, is that the daytime heat makes the snow turn into watery mush very quickly, which later turns into ice with the nighttime cold. So you only have a short sweet spot for snow quality during mid-day: earlier than that it's too hard, and later it's too soft.

Glencoe in Scotland and Vedra off the coast of Ibiza (Doesn't look that impressive from the pic, but when I saw it there was a bit of fog and it looked like a mountain rising out of the sea. Also the road up there is very small and windy, so you turn a corner and suddenly see it and it's like..."wow")

I'm an east coast girl, but I fell absolutely in love with California when I was there. I actually started crying at the beauty of the San Joaquim Valley when the plane was making it's descent.
Although Finland is still the most beautiful and untouched wilderness in the world

Urban: London. It is the vibrant hub and capital of the UK and I absolutely love the London atmosphere. Just being immersed in it now and again is enough to draw me to study in a London Uni. Sitting on the lawn in front of the National Gallery at about 5 o'clock on a lazy summer's day watching the hustle and bustle and majesty of Trafalgar Square = epic.
Wild: Couple of places:
- West/South-west of Ireland: being quarter-Irish and proud of my connections I love visiting the stunning scenery and wilderness of counties Limerick, Clare, Kerry and Cork. So peaceful and beautiful
- Dungeness: while I like the whole of my native county Kent, Dungeness is a very special place to me. It's so incredibly wild, the views over the English Channel, the White Cliffs and the softly humming nuclear powerplant in the background . The majesty and beauty of the place make it my ideal place to go and relax.

I have traveled quite a bit and my favorite place is Sydney, Australia (duh) because of the great people (goes for Australia in general from what I have seen, which is the East coast, but I'm going back to visit the West coast in 2 weeks, yay!) and but also Yosmite Park and San Francisco in the U.S were cool.
A little closer to home, love the alps my favorite resort being La Plane in France, Paris didn't do it for me though.
Favorite domestic (U.K)location is Cornwall.

Places in England I love to visit ...
Tintagel Castle
Avebury Stone Circles
Bovington Tank Museum (The two Tigers and particularly the Jagdtiger are astonishing to see up close)
I could go on and on, but that's the cream of the crop in England for me.

Obviously the best place to have ever been totally depends on your mood as well as your company.
But i'd say.... walking around underneath the volcano on Tenerife in the desert type desolate landscape, so alien.

The Isle of Mann, been there twice, during the TT bike race and just for a normal holiday, both times blessed with good weather.
The racers have epic balls of steel that make even chuck norris quiver with fear. full TT lap |

Yosemite national park, it makes you realise how big America is and how beautiful the world is, you can drive across Yosemite in about the same time as you can drive across the UK which kinda puts the size into perspective and helps understand why americans sometimes dont get environmental destruction as a huge issue. Single most awesome place I've ever been

It would depend on what im looking for.
Historical trip
Solomon Islands - Guaducanal, Choisel, Shortland island etc The Jungles are littered with history, tho hard grunt over 6 or so months. Well worth every minute.
Beauty and relaxation
Vanuatu - The beaches are awesome
Action
Can go past Bangkok Thailand. Plenty to see and do all the way from the southern boarders to the North.
Girls
Right here in good old Australia. We fit most of your countrys into one of our post codes. From an Aussie point of view, avoid Sydney. Some nice spots but mostly just another grey boring hole of concrete.

Maybe he was talking about width not area. Britian is about 480km wide, right?
