Calliers Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 One country I've always been enthralled by is Luxembourg. I wanna visit it if only to just see what the country with the highest GDP per capita is like, apparently everything there costs an arm and a leg, and everyone who lives there is stinking rich. I've heard it's like Switzerland on steroids. Guess I'll have to wait till I can afford to rent a Ferrari to drive into the country so that I at least look the part.

I don't recall them being any different from people in other parts of northern Europe. Which is to say nice enough. No snobbery as far as I could tell.

No snobbery as far as I could tell. How did they dress, their attire, what was it like? Did they have on noticeably expensive clothing and jewelry or were they just like normal people? Sorry for 21 questions but as you can tell, I'm really curious about this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceDustbin Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Oceania is on top of my list. I've been wanting to go to Australia for ages, but because it's quite far away, it's not that easy to plan. I do have some friends there, so I have a good reason to finally go. Now I just need to find the time Apart from Oceania and Antarctica I've been on the other continents, but there's still so much more to see, especially in Asia (really want to go to Nepal again), but also in South- and Central America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lysandre, the Star-Crossed Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I'd say Europe, Oceania, and South America...in that order. I've no real desire to visit Asia or Africa whatsoever, although I wouldn't turn it down if somebody just handed me a plane ticket. Antarctica I wouldn't even go to if you paid me, and I already live in North America. I would like to visit our neighbors to the North and South though, Canada sounds nice and Mexico would be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiddleAgedAutistic Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 To those who want to visit Australia... DO IT!!! Most beautiful place on earth. I have visited the US over a dozen times (have family there), and frankly I would love to visit a different part of the world. My bio-dad was from Malta and as a photographer I can only imagine how much fun I would have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it's some combinatination of: 1. Most people here are from the US (possibly Canada) 2. Most people vote for a continent other than their own 3. There are some really strong competitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveb Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Yeah, I live in North America. Of course I travel here, too. But I answered the poll based on a continent I'd like to visit but haven't been to yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to North-America several times, most often in Canada (the perks of family abroad ) , and there's still many places there I'd like to see, but for now Australia is just a tad higher in the ranking of places I'd like to visit , so I don't think the 0 votes for North-America is quite deliberate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calliers Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 North America might also have low votes because a lot of people have fear of the U.S., myself included. I feel like it is in the same category as Columbia or South Africa concerning it's crime rate, I just feel like I might get shot at any time (and I've been to both the U.S. and South Africa).
