Hey all, this is my first post in this chamber, and I wanna share some moments that make me wanna go back to a certain country/city. I'll keep them in chronological order.<br><br>It all started in 2016 with a road trip in Europe, I visited several countries, cities and it was my first long trip abroad. <br><br>1. **France**: I was driving through Paris and saw the Eiffel tower. I thought it was special but it didn't blow me away or anything. I still wanna go back though because I never been to any other cities but Paris. <br>2. **Switzerland**: Driving in the mountains, the valleys, everywhere it was so beautiful but felt very (too) expensive. <br>3. **Italy**: The pizza, the pasta, the cities, the fashion, the history, the cars, the lakes, the people, the music, the coffee (THE COFFEE)... I have never been anywhere that I felt like an Italian just by being there. The weather could be better though... <br>4. **Croatia**: Pictures of Dubrovnik before actually seeing it were nothing compared to the real deal. It's one of the most beautiful places I visited, if I had to choose one. <br>5. **Spain**: Seville was my favorite. Incredible vibe, food, music. I would love to come back to this place. <br>6. **Portugal**: Lisbon was such a surprise, I really enjoyed it but the weather was not great. <br>7. **Germany**: Berlin, Munich, I really enjoyed both cities. Even though I was there a couple of times, I never had the chance to visit any other cities. <br>8. **Austria**: Vienna was breathtaking for me, such a beautiful city with plenty of tourists attractions. It was really hot and I walked for hours, but it was worth it. <br>9. **Hungary/Turkey/Romania/Bulgaria**: Incredible food, people, history, landscapes and outrageously cheap. Probably one of the best road trips so far. <br>10. **Georgia**: By far the friendliest people I met, and the best wine I had. I really love visiting this country, I never felt disappointed or sad. <br>11. **South Africa**: This was the first time I visited a country outside of Europe, and it was a great experience. Even though I had to pay online fees which I didn't have to pay anywhere else, I really enjoyed the cities, nature and people. It was really cheap and had an amazing time. I can understand why some people say it's a 1st world country, but it really needs more attention and investments. <br>12. **China**: I was expecting a lot more out of Shanghai. It was very weird and unauthentic. Probably the only country I visited that I wouldn't go back to. <br>13. **Lebanon**: What a surprise! The food, the cities, the people, beaches... It was all so cool and authentic, and I didn't expect much out of it tbh. Most of my friends didn't even know where it was on the map. <br>14. **Oman/Jordan/Israel**: It was my second trip outside of Europe, and it was so much different than anywhere else I visited in Europe. Although some parts were expensive, the history, the cities and landscapes were breathtaking. I never had to pay online fees anywhere in these countries, which is definitely a plus. <br>15. **Dubai**: This is the only one city I visited out of a country (UAE) and I wouldn't say that I wanna go back. It was a great experience and a special place to visit, but the "authenticity" just wasn't there. <br>16. **Morocco**: It was a great experience and I would definitely go back. By far the best tagine ever. Never been to any cities up north, maybe next time. <br>17. **India**: I visited India this year and I was really surprised at how different it was from anywhere else I visited. The food, the cities, the people, the history, everything was special and authentic. <br>18. **Montenegro**: It was a short visit just to see Dubrovnik old town and Kotor. Kotor was by far the winner, what an incredible place and so underrated. <br>19. **Malta**: It's a small island, so I visited a lot of parts. Gozo was my favorite. Incredible history, beaches and outrageously friendly people. <br>20. **Iceland**: A great experience but so expensive. I would go back, but not soon. <br>21. **Kenya**: Incredible food, beaches, people and history. Though it was expensive, it was worth it. <br>22. **Tanzania**: The same as Kenya in terms of expenses, but it was worth it too. I would definitely go back to Zanzibar. <br>23. **Egypt**: Definitely the weirdest and most outrageously cheap country I visited so far. By far my favorite experience, though I was alone it was a great time. I just love the vibes and the history so much. I would go back in a heartbeat.<br><br>That's all I could remember for now. It was a long text and I'm sorry if it was boring, but I really enjoyed this trip so much. "I'll be back" indeed. <br><br>Edit: Thank you so much for all the comments, didn't expect this much interest, you all rock!
