I must be one of the few who craves not the sun and sand places. Give me mountains, wildlife, forests, vales, snow and skiing! (but without anyone else there, skiing with NO one else
). I really HATE beaches....sorry, no i don't hate beaches at all - i LOVE them, its the idiots and arseholes they attract that keeps me away. I really don't understand why people spend hundreds, or even THOUSANDS of pounds/dollars to go and lie on a towel on a patch of sand about 4 ft by 8ft, surrounded by lots of other heaving, fat, smelly, sweaty people. Its my idea of hell, and even though you might see the odd "fittie" - i would rather go round eastern Europian cities, and Russia too.
Top destinations for me are:
Canada
Russia
New Zealand
Alaska
Northern Europe (sweden, finland), Eastern Europe (Chezk, Hungary etc), and China as well (not europe obviously).
I have alot more strange destinations choices, but they don't involve beaches at all..... .Should be a bit of a giveaway that i am a Massive Michael Palin travelling challenge program fan! - although i have only seen three (round the world in 80days, Pole to Pole and Round the pacific Rim!).
