Here are some more questionnaires I received via email and fbook... Like I said, I'll go through them and do separate entries for specifics on some of these neat places (like Sail Croatia). Otherwise, enjoy!
Davey G.
What is your favorite city/country?
Vangvien in Laos - copied Jon but for one place to have given me such a lasting memory when I was there for 5 days is crazy. That's for travels this time around but NYC wins hands down for places I've visited.
What's the best experience you've had while traveling?
Scuba diving, the day we saw sharks was cool but the whale shark experience was great. Our first time 'alone' and we're next to that beast.
Out of everywhere, where would you most like to live?
Sydney, Australia or NYC.
What's the most fun?
Tubing - the best.
Where do you plan on going next?
South America is my next 'new' place but Asia will be before that.
Where would you like to go, but probably never will?
West Africa - no reason why I 'won't' but I doubt I will.
What would you say is a MUST SEE for someone in a particular neck of the woods?
The Taj Mahal in India. Better than I thought it'd be. Our experience there was unique too - Agra riots meant it was empty and having your mate gorilla pressing people was funny as hell.
What's one thing everyone should take with them when traveling?
Camera or iPod - music definitely.
One piece of advice for future travellers?
Take pics of everything, it all has memories.
