Title says it all.

For me, it's Italy. It's a wonderful country, with lots of culture, beautiful scenery and great food. I travelled to Garda last September and it left quite an impact on me. Hope to visit again soon.
 
It's a toss up between Japan or Thailand probably, but there's loads that I've really liked.

Japan - I only really know Tokyo and Osaka, but they're both just such fun, cool cities. There's always loads going on and something to do. I NEED to move back to Tokyo at some point in the next few years.

Thailand - Bangkok is soooooooo much fun. It's great for shopping and nightlife, plus it's got all the temples and **** for the cultural stuff. Chiangmi has loads more temples and is in the middle of the jungle. Then you've some of the world's best beaches when you go to the islands.

Other countries that I've really, really liked:

Italy - Some of the most stunning cities and scenery I've ever seen. Just a gorgeous country.

USA - I know I rag on Americans, but I loved my time over there. New York and San Diego are really fun places to hang out for a while. Loads to see during the day and some very cool places to hang out at night.

Laos - Beautiful, beautiful country and people. So friendly, but not in a "you're white, buy something" way, just really genuine people. Luang Prabang is lovely. Vang Vieng is stunning and **** ING NUTS! Not going to go into details, but I should probably be dead.

Cambodia - GOR. GEOUS. Especially the Angkor Wat area.

Philippines - Borocay = the most amazing beach resort EVER. Manila is fun, too.

To be honest, I haven't been to many places that I haven't liked. There's places in certain countries I've HATED - Hanoi, Brussels - but other places in those countries have been great, so it kind of balances out.
 
A part from England.

America is brilliant, the people are great and the theme parks are incredible.

Poland was a nice place, the people were ok and the history was very interesting.

Austria was brilliant for skiing.
 
I loved Austria, such a friendly, relaxed and welcoming country.

America too was fascinating, but I don't think I got to see a massive amount of real America, but that's why I have a TV and go to the cinema ;)

Sweden is lovely and some great people there, and Norway was delicious in terms of dramatic country.

France, I just don't really like overly, Spain I've only seen the UK tourist areas which suck. Fuertaventura was really nice actually (it is Spain), but again, not the UK tourist area (we were in a mainly German tourist spot and it was really pleasant and the Germans were really pleasant).

Italy I only did Venice which was wasted on me at the time, Germany and Belgium I've only seen ferry ports or service stations so can't really comment.

Austria, America and Sweden I'd go back to at the drop of a hat given the chance and Austria made a teenage_furie very welcome and comfortable so I'd put that as top, but that was a long, long time ago :lol:
 
USA obvs. :)


I sadly haven't left the good ol United State of America. Haven't really had the dough. Next year I might be heading to see you sluts.. we'll see.. but if so I'll go around from UK, France, Germany, and France.. at minimum.

France really isn't nice enough to name it twice.
 
Hmm, I've been to 17 countries and I think they all have their pros and cons. Canada is a great country, but having lived here my entire life, it's a tad boring. America has an awesome selection of stuff to do, though I'd never want to live there. I think I'd have to say my two favourite countries are England and Germany. I want to live in England sooo bad when I'm done university; I fell in love with it literally like, the second I left the airport, and I know I've seen enough of it to properly judge it as well. Germany is such a gorgeous place with welcoming people and fantastic beer :p .

It's really hard to judge places when you've only been to one or two main cities as well. Austria would probably be up there, but I only went to Vienna, which is hardly an accurate representation of the entire country. At least with Germany I got to see a few cities and a great amount of the countryside.

EDIT- As if I forgot Italy. Italy is definitely up there, probably par with Germany or just below <3
 
All of the countries I've been to have been hit and miss, two good examples of this are Vietnam and Thailand. I wasn't a huge fan of either Bangkok or Hanoi, after hearing about how 'outstanding' these cities were, I just couldn't get into them. Hanoi was dreadful, absolutely nothing to do, and the place was a serious mess, but then there was Halong Bay which was one of the most beautiful and natural places I've ever visited, and I'd happily spend hours walking around admiring the scenery.

Bangkok was mainly down to my condition at the time, I was really ill and it was back when the Swine Flu pandemic was at it's highest, I was one of the unfortunate many to get this. So I found travelling around the city a dangerous move, but I still did it, but despite passing out from dehydration twice in 3 days (the humidity was insane, peaking around 97-98%), it was an interesting city, which was shamefully destroyed by the slum-like areas and down-right mess. I couldn't enjoy the city, but I may have to visit again to feel the real vibe. On the other hand, there was a tiny island off the coast of Thailand called 'Phi Phi', this was the most stunning place I have ever visited. Anyone who has watched the film 'The Beach' would know that. Also had a soft spot for Phuket too, that place was great fun (despite it being the Thai equivalent of Benidorm..).
 
Finland clearly, anyone who says otherwise is a moron. Kimi Raikkonen is MEGA, they wuv vodka (wodka) and even dreadful dreadful metal music is awesomesauce when done by the Finns!

Can't wait to go this year, always wanted to! <3

Totally meant Italy. Lol
 
Haha, I'm so excited to go to Hanoi now...

I love the People's Republic of China <3 I'm so excited for Thailand/Vietnam/Cambodia, I think I'll love them too. So ASIAN <3

I really like the United States of America, mostly California. It's fab. The food <3 But, I couldn't live there cause the people are a bit gross and the attitude towards like, basic freedoms, is actually gross [/flameshield]

Finland's awesome, but, there's nothing worse than realising you share your opinions with cundz, so, I'm striking this one off the list.

Really want to go to Australia, Russia, South Africa, United Arab Emirates and Argentina. They look amazing <3

I love the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland the most though. And if I move somewhere else, it won't be forever.
 
If you enjoy chocolate and beaches, Australia's for you! Otherwise, this place is a bit of a **** really.

My favourite country?
I can't really say too much, as pretty much all the places I've been to have been just for theme parks or staying within hotel/tourist resorts with minimal contact with the locals...
I've now been to the USA 6 times and most of my friends seem to be from there, so even though I hate their food and you can't go anywhere if you can't drive, as well as various other things which highly annoy me about the place, I'm going to have to say there. :p

My least favourite is probably where I am now, Australia, but I reckon if I had just come here for a holiday for a couple of weeks, then I'd probably really like it here. :?
 
I dont think I would ever move to a different country, I love Canada too much. Places I enjoyed visiting were Italy, Spain and Switzerland. Monte Carlo was nice, England was too crowded and everything was too small, and France was just ok. I would never live in the States they have a messed up government and way too much national pride, though it is great to visit all its theme parks. Cuba is a good vacation spot but other than that its pretty poor. Yea overall I haven't found a country that I would rather live in than Canada, though I would love to visit New Zealand and Australia.
 
^Too much national pride? I guess I never saw where that was a bad thing. Unless you mean arrogance, which obviously isn't an admirable quality.

Like Snoo I really haven't been anywhere out of the United States (except Canada for a handful of short visits) so I guess my favorite country is still the USA. That said, there are a ton of countries I want to visit like Brazil, Japan, China, and lots of the European countries. I'm sure it will happen someday.
 
U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

Actually I'm super lame and I haven't ever been to another country, but I hear Italy is quite nice. If I were to choose one country I'd most like to travel to, that'd be it. Panama might be close second, as I actually have a few friends from there.
 
I've had a reclusive childhood, unlike everybody else I know, so I only managed to esape the UK last summer when I visited France and Belgiuum for a day. Not enough to judge them well enough, although I'd love to go back to France again. It seemed quite nice.

Obviously I just came back from Canada and the States after a modest period of time there. I've always wanted to go Canada since I was about 6 or 7, and no other place in the world interested me more. Finally being able to go was amazing, and I've fallen in love with the place.

I wasn't a fan of the US though. Aside from CFers, everybody was rude, arrogant, up themselves and too patriotic. Americans are on the most part moronically stupid too - I thought it was just a stereotype, but to my joy and equally dismay it wasn't. I'll happily go back again though, it just is probably my least favourite country I've visited for the reasons above.

But the UK for me still is the place I see myself living for life, or at least for the next few years.
