Theresa, I am with you. I have no interest in traveling to China.

I’m sure the wild life is stunning, but I’d have to forgo Chad, Niger, Mali, Zambia, Dem. Republic of Congo or any other non coastal African States.

I don’t have any big interest in visiting Australia. I’m sure it’s a nice place, and everyone that goes seems to like it. It’s just that I can think of so many other places that sound more interesting.

It’s all a matter of priority to me. Since I won’t be able to go everywhere in my life (most likely), I like to pretend like I have no interest in the places that aren’t high on my priority list, or that I bet I’ll wind up going to anyway for some other reason. Like…
London: bah.
Hawaii: bah.
The Carribbean: bah bah.

See? I bet I’ll wind up going to all of those at some point… (and I definitely have a secret jones for both Hawaii and the Carribean) but I just won’t choose to head out there on my own… I”m banking on a cousin or a friend getting married at a Sandals resort, or something like that.
Sneeeeaky.

I’m not really that into domestic travel in general, especially compared to international trips. It just seems less…challenging for some reaosn - I like to go places that are very different from “home”.

I have little interest in the Asian continent as a whole.
Luckily, the interesting parts of Russia are in Europe.

I’ve never really wanted to go to China either. I also have never had a desire to go to Australia. Given the opportunity, I’m sure I would visit both of those places, but they’re definitely low on my list.

I have no interest in visiting Saudia Arabia. No women’s rights. Or any other country that requires wearing a burqa.

Love the answers. Keep them coming.

*Matthew…do you mean you don’t want to go back to Arkansas. Cause we’ve already been there. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten. It was awesome. Very, very awesome. Which is why we stayed all of 24 hours instead of the 3 days planned. If you’d come to visit me in Greece, I bet I could have changed your mind. You’d like the Peloponnese.

*Magnifique…I like the “no boring places” viewpoint. I think you’re right.

*Laura…Austin is worth a visit, and I had a good time in San Antonio for a weekend. The rest of the state, not so much. Houston definitely not. I have no love lost for that city even having gone to college there.

*Ruth…I think I agree. Cold. Terribly cold. Horribly cold. After visiting Winnipeg in the heart of winter, I have no desire to go anywhere else where a temperature of -50 is considered normal (except maybe Antarctica, just because it’s Antarctica).

*Denice…I bet I would probably end up finding China interesting. I’ve really yet to go anywhere that I’ve absolutely not liked…even L.A. (though the only reason I’ll go back is to see a game at Dodger Stadium). What did you do in Greece?

I have never had any interest in traveling to Los Angeles. San Diego and San Francisco, definitely, but never LA. A few years ago, I’d never even considered Greece, Bulgaria or Korea, but have loved working and living in all three. By the way, I was in Beijing this week for the first time and I think you’d be pleasantly surprised!
