Meme: 10 Countries I'd Like to Visit



10 Countries I would love to visit...


I am not well traveled, at all. I never went to University so I never got to do the dossing/gap year/backpacking thing and whilst I have had some nice holidays, since having my first child at the age of 26 I've not really explored our beautiful planet.

I'm not overly concerned though, there's plenty of time and I will get to go to see everything I want to in good time.

There are no deep reasons to why I want to visit these places, some of theme are purely because they have nice beaches. I am that shallow. These are in no particular order.

1. Italy
I've never really wanted to go to Italy before (even though I learned Italian at school) but the past few years it has become of more interest to me. Not so fussed about Venice but would definitely like to go to Rome (apparently watching out for pickpockets?) Florence, Sicily and Pompeii.

2. Egypt
Egypt is a cliche for these lists I guess but I'd love to see the pyramids for myself. I've been slightly put off by friends who've been and have been hassled beyond belief but I'm sure I'll go one day.

3. Greece
I've always wanted to go to Greece. The islands look beautiful - lovely whitewashed houses, tavernas, gorgeous sunsets...what's not to love, surely? I'd prefer to go to "proper" Greece rather than tourist traps.

4. Fiji
Fiji has been a longtime dream of mine, it looks like a beautiful place and everything I've seen or read about it just reels me in.

5. USA
I've already been to New York and Florida, and will be going back to both in the next few years but there are many other places I like to go in the US. New England, California, Las Vegas, Tennessee, the Grand Canyon, Texas - amongst many others. America fascinates me and I want to see as much of it as possible!

6. French Polynesia
Not sure if the French Polynesian Islands is really classed as a country at all but it's my list so I am putting it on. Bora Bora and Tahiti, wow.

7. Poland
Mainly to go to Auschwitz, I really don't know what else there is in Poland so should probably do some research about that one.

8. Mexico
I have always wanted to go to Mexico - it looks like my kind of place. I'd love to try the food, see their pyramids and drink lots of tequila *hic*. It always look such a vibrant and lively place.

9. France
I am reluctant to put this on my list as I am not a fan of France at all. Paris left me cold to be quite honest however I need to include it as Mr M and myself really want to go and visit the War graves (and Belgium as well for that matter). Aside from that, I'd be quite happy not to go there again (however I have been reliably informed that the rest of France is not like Paris).

10. Thailand
Another one not completely on my radar but Mr M would like to go to Thailand which has kind of spurred on some interest on me, and it's bound to be an interesting place so yes, I'd like to see it for myself.


I've decided that I'd be interested to hear what countries other bloggers would like to visit so I've tagged the following people on this meme,
