I always wanted to see the world but never seemed to have the money to do so. See a little on a cruise but that was it. The wife really had no interest and her health issues would limit it now for sure.
So who here loves to see the world? Where have you been? Your favorite foreign destination?
There are relatively few people who have been to more locations than I have. I've traveled the globe on Gulfstream jets.
Bottom Line: The Tuscany area of Italy is heaven itself, and my favorite place on the globe. North of Rome, South of Milan.
Worst, China.
Fun for motorheads and electronic nerds: Thailand, Japan, generally more fun outside of the cities.
Generally not fun for me, Paris, London, Brussels, Amsterdam, as they are close enough to any big city experience, often with gloomy weather.
Hungary, Romania, Poland, Eastern Europe, ehhh beautiful but don't care much for that either. Can be ultra nice in the rural areas. But I could not live there.
Much of Africa and the Middle East, generally more work than it's worth, many cities are gross, and, well, let's be honest here, many areas are sometimes less than civilized. Ngorngoro crater in Tanzania was EPIC cool. That is worth the trip, if you ever wanted to go back in time to where animals ruled the Earth, that's the place.
Momella wildlife lodge, Tanzania. Twice the Giraffe chased me down and tried to kill me. I got into my hut just in time. If you want to be attacked by animals such as Giraffe, Buffalo, Lion and others, that's the place to go.
Tuscany Italy, yes, that's real. Sienna and the outskirts is wonderful beyond words. By the way, recently voted best food in the world.
That's me with the beard, with Jane Goodall, 2nd from left. Tanzania
