    Already been to many listed here (total of 73 countries/islands). First some comments on some listed. Maldives my favourite, place. Been to Madagascar and Seychelles, both wonderful. Mauritius Ok, but has it's slum areas. Zanzibar an amazing place, but also has it's slums.

    Places not been to but would like to:

    Borneo (island, not strictly one country).
    Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe/Zambia).
    New Zealand.
    Any pacific islands such as Hawaii, Cook Islands, Fiji
    Whitsunday Islands, off of the coast of Queensland.

    Japan can be done reasonably cheap as mentioned Elsewhere, Beer Can be Expensive when eating out but otherwise Hotels about the same as here. Japan Travel card best for trains.

    Norway-northern lights, whale watching, fjords, ice climbing. Beautiful people...
    Costa Rica- amazing animals, apparently the happiest place on earth
    Madagascar - loads of endemic species, including lemurs!
    Antarctica-landing on a sheet of ice and being somewhere pretty much untouched by people
    Ecuador-the Galápagos Islands! Always wanted to visit South America

    Travelled around Borneo for two months a few years ago, best place I have ever been. So different in each country, wild orang-utans are something else, as are the proboscis monkeys. The tribal people are absolutely fantastic, friendliest people I have ever met. Unfortunately much of it is being deforested at a ridiculous rate for palm oil, so I would recommend visiting sooner rather than later if you have the opportunity.

    It's top of my wish list @moutuakilla (though not on my posted list funnily enough). Main reason I want to go is to see the orang-utans. I think it's heartbreaking what is happening because of palm oil. I try not to buy anything with it as an ingredient but it doesn't help when it can be listed as vegetable oil. Man will never learn.

    Wow - amazed at Japan appearing on so many wish lists.
    Can I ask why people haven't gone?

    Cost I would imagine? For the purposes of this survey I was assuming money being no object - hence the Scandinavian countries in my list - they are easily accessible but I couldn't afford to do what I enjoy doing (eating out and drinking) if I went there.
    You're telling me, visited Helsinki recently and it was insanely expensive.

    Argentina
    Chile
    Ghana
    Thailand
    Russia

    Turkey (Istanbul really)
    Bosnia
    Rwanda
    Peru
    South Korea
    Denmark

    That's assuming my one trip to the Canaries prevents me from choosing Spain.
  • Iceland, I'd forgotten that one

    Consider Sumatra as well. It has orangs and is relatively easy and cheap to organise. It doesn't have proboscis monkeys but it does have siamang gibbons.

    As an aside, look up the website 'Mongabay' if you want up to date news on palm oil, forests and of course animals.

    ...and on a footie note, while somewhat anxious, (well, it is charlton...), i am open-minded re the new season/regime etc., you gotta be right? what's the alternative? follow no-one? nahhh, i'm an addick forever, whoever is at the helm, however, i have of course wondered at some of their decisions - nevertheless, anything is better than the hulyer tumult, or more recently, the dowie/reed/pardew/parky years, surely?

    Far too much American optimism, LA has clearly changed you!

    I've been to most of the countries I wanted to visit.
    I've now given up on innoculations for nasty foreign diseases and malaria tablets (they don't agree with me). So places like the Philippines are off the list. My focus now is Scandinavia.
    That and continuing with the USA: five states left to go: Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware and Vermont.
