Impossible to give definitive answers but I'll shortlist a few.
Fave place
New York - Vibrant and exciting. Everything seems familiar because you've seen it in a film.
Berlin - So Safe and clean and pleasant. Checkpoint Charlie, the Brandenburg Gate with it's war wounds still visible, the remains of the Berlin wall and the line that runs through the city, bisecting everything in it's path to mark where it stood.
San Francisco - So compact, so iconic. the Golden Gate Bridge, the hills, the wharf. Alcatraz blew me away.
Bangkok - A city of amazing contrast. A bullock cart and a Ferrari side by side at the traffic lights, smiley people who have absolutely nothing, the sounds, the smells, the colours..
Southern Ireland - Like travelling 50 years into the past. Ancient drivers in rusting cars with no road tax meander along narrow, pot-holey lanes between green rolling hills and timeless stone cottages.
Mind boggling conversations with the locals.
"What's the quickest way to ballingeary?"
"On foot or by car?"
"By car."
"Dat's der quickest way."I could easily list a dozen more favourite places. It's a wonderful world.
