Countries you want to visit but haven't

What would be the reasons you want to visit Bulgaria, and not R.Macedonia, Serbia or Greece for example?

 

Americas: Canada (despite living near it I've never been), Costa Rica, Ecuador (next year!), Colombia, Venezuela

Europe: U.K., Germany, France, Spain, Poland, Switzerland

Africa: Tanzania, Madagascar, Egypt

Asia: Singapore, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia

Oceania: New Zealand, Australia, Papua New Guinea

And because why not, Antarctica.

Now, hardly any of that is realistic for many years, but I can dream

 

Isn't it possible to visit Syria as a tourist at the moment.
Also Iran would be great as you could see Asiatic Cheetahs!

When do you plan on visiting Syria then?

 

Also the fact that when someone asks you 'what countries have you visited?' you can reply saying 'North Korea!'

 

England, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Want to go to many others but probably won't.

 

As much as I have a problem with the behaviour of the Israeli government, and as much as I would love to visit Iran, if forced to choose between two countries due to religious prejudice it will always be the one that doesn't discriminate.

Setting aside Europe, as I don't want to give away details of my trip that are still to come, countries that will still be high on my list include South Africa, New Zealand, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Israel, Jordan, Egypt (alas, probably not for a while), Mexico, Peru and Brazil. But that's far from an exhaustive list and I'm inflicted with the problem of always wanting to go back to places I've visited.

 

I'd love to visit North Korea but the only reason they host those tours is because it's a way to obtain foreign hard currency, which they use to skirt sanctions. So unfortunately I don't think it's an ethical choice at present.

 

I currently live in Switzerland, which is overall even more expensive than Norway, so I think I will survive that . Fortunately my life also consists of more than zoos and food , the landscape, especially in the north must be amazing and many areas are supreme for hiking.

They will actually issue 2 separate passport for you, if you explain you intend to travel to these 2 countries , one for each stamp...

 

Yes it has. you now need a passport to visit me.

 

As the resident aging young person, I can confirm that people still say "I hear that", "I hear you", and often even "I feel you".

Is this your own country or a general policy that most follow?

I remember my Granma telling me she had to visit the two halves of Cyprus in a certain order because one would not allow access if you had visted the other.

 

Several countries do it (e.g. Germany, US), but I don't know if it is a general rule... A quick search on the internet learns that Israeli will also put their stamps on a piece of paper instead of the passport, to avoid any problems.
