Q&A: If I could travel anywhere in the world, where would I like to go next?

Every month, I publish an answer to a reader’s question. Here’s a transcript of my answer to the reader question about travelling.

Hey Lisanne, I love to travel, so I’m wondering—if you had the chance, where would you travel to? 

I love to travel too. One of the reasons I love to travel is the opportunity to explore the world with the people I want to share it with. I love hiking for that reason. There’s something about the journey, the newness of everything, that makes me feel alive.

When I think of making new trips, I’d love to make more trips by motorbike and go off grid. If I could go anywhere in the world, I would choose to go to Bhutan. I’ve never visited this part of the world in my life—a country that fascinates me on many levels. Particularly fascinating is their emphasis on the importance of collective happiness and well-being over the accumulation of wealth. I hope to visit one day.

I think I’d also love to visit a coral reef, like the Great Barrier Reef, before it becomes too bleached. It must be incredible to swim through the biggest coral reef in the world, stretching on for miles. The sheer diversity of life – glittering fish, curious sea turtles and delicate creatures hiding in the nooks and crannies—would be a sight I would love to witness up close.

I’ve never been to Iceland either, though it’s definitely on my list. Those steamy hotsprings look very comfortable and relaxing, and I’ve heard many great stories about them from people who’ve already been. Honestly, there are still so many places I’d love to visit someday. We’ll see how life unfolds.

If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go and why? Share your plans in the comment section!
