| | | I've been all over the US & Canada. Also been to Mexico, Urp & South America. Australia coming this fall. That leaves Asia (coming year after next or mbe a side trip from OZ this year), Africa & Antarctica. And the moon.
I've heard good things about Belize. Thinking of booking our next vacation there.

| | Me neither. 
I was thinking of the natural environment (Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Red Rocks of Utah, etc.) Unbeatable by any man made buildings in any country, IMO.
Mother Nature > man made

For variety within one country, I'd agree. Tho I have a feeling China probably would compete (haven't been tho). For this kind of comparison, size matters. If they'd stop flooding their country to build dams, anyway.
You should buy the Planet Earth DVD series, Vash. It is really excellent. My son loves it, very educational, & I got more ideas about natural places to visit than any travel book or video I've ever watched. The videography is beyond compare (esp their 'making of' shorts at the end of each episode--fascinating).

Belize should be significantly cooler though, being so much closer to the coast

| | | Ah, no, I'm not in the Navy, kinda hard when not being from the U.S. We do have mandatory application for the military conscription back in Sweden, but they didnt allow me to do it because of politicians calling for budget cutbacks.
Oh, and I forgot to add the Phillipines.

How do you have the time to go so many places? Don't you have a job or have to go to school? Or is your travel work-related?

| | | That's a lot of travel for a 20 year old, Lipp. I'm guessing your parents are ex-pats of some sort. Or they work for an airline.
