Great video. Thank you for sharing. Namibia, Laos, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Tawain and the Baltic States are all on my bucket list. Slovenia is one of my favorite European countries. Happy Travels.
Amazing Video. Thx so much. 🎉
Fabulous video as always. Hmmm…my two cents – Azores, Panama (head out of larger towns/cities), either coast of Canada – Newfoundland or BC.😮😮😮. Heading to Merida very soon to get my fix of Mayan cuisine and colonial architecture. Good for the soul.
I’ve joined your FB group but afraid at 70 and walking with a cane I keep up with you young uns! Lol
Excellent video – thank you!
Jon and Bev this is wonderful as we set to planning our retirement intentions for this year! Question… in these places are you more likely to find value in airbnb's or hotels or hostels or how do you tend to find success with where to stay research? What are your tips and strategies for deciding on accommodation in the places you go? Might be a great video topic, unless I have missed it and you have that topic covered already! Love your content, very very motivating! Safe Travels ~ Neve & Michael 🙂
Great content!
Merci John & Bev! Being a widow, is it save to travel to those countries by myself? I want to go to all of them.
Great video. And I can’t help but agree about NZ, Latvia,Greece, and Italy.
As always, thank you for the information you share on wonderful places to visit. I might skip Italy in 2025 due to the Jubilee 2025. There will be hordes of people traveling there this year, so perhaps push it until after Epiphany in 2026.
Awesome video! Thanks for all the great ideas ❤
Have you been to Armenia? i loved it.
I always wonder how people find the places they visit. Did someone say, “let me tell you about a play you need to visit” or you just had the good fortune to stumble upon beautiful places.
Thank you for helping us all add these great finds to our bucket lists.
Excellent video!! We’ve been to many of these places( just back from Lao!!), but are always looking for new places to explore!! Thank you!!
Loas, Singapore, Taiwan….no Thailand??
Hi John and Bev- I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work making these videos to share with the world. You have inspired my husband and I.
We are not ready to retire yet but because of you two, we are in the process of planning our Go Go Years now. If it wasn’t for your videos, we probably would not have planned and be able to make it happen. We also upped our travel now as well❤ I hope you two know you are changing the quality of life for so many.
I watched this one with great anticipation. Although I saw the bookmarks, I did not look ahead. 😃 I love that you both have been to so many beautiful places and appreciate you sharing some of your favorites. I have either already been, or have plans to visit most of these in the next few years. 👍 A couple I had never thought of (Laos, Sri Lanka), but they are now on my radar. Thank you very much for a another wonderful video! 🙂
It was a great idea.
👍 excellent list
I must confess, I want to see as much of the world as I can! Thank you for the recommendations here. I am ready to start planning out some summer travel!
Always enjoy your videos! We stayed in the Turf House (red windows/grass roof) in the Faroes in 2019. It’s amazing there!
Another excellent video, as usual! I have been to all places you listed and I was pleased to see the video. Thank you for bringing my memory to life! We are heading this year to Japan, Korea, Khazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, India, and Mexico. Keep on traveling!
Because of your visit, we left our Danube River cruise at Budapest and took the train to Venice (2nd time) via LJUBLJANA! A great city to visit!
Thanks so much for this list – hope to visit Sri Lanka and Singapore in the next few years. Thanks to your safari video we had an amazing 6 nights at Honeyguide Manyeleti and saw so much! What a great place. We had put off safari for too long and your video pushed us in the right direction. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. I want to go back to Greece 🇬🇷
Thank you for sharing! We also really enjoyed our time in Singapore. Our bucket list keeps growing as we learn about places you have visited. Happy travel adventures in 2025!
Feel like a feast! So satisfying to watch!
Went to Poland in April 2024 and loved it. Hoping to do a trip to Singapore & Vietnam in March and Greece and Croatia in Sept 2025.
I actually have one question. How you overcome the language barriers in different countries?
Thank you ! So great to get so many heartfelt good suggetions of where to travel. I;m on my way 😉
We have been to 5 of these places and agree! The others are on our bucket list!
Thanks John and Bev for another great post. Just wondering if you can tell the estimated expected budget/cost visit these places or how much needed to follow your travel itineraries 😅. Thank you
What an absolute gem of a video! Your wealth of knowledge and passion to share your travels is so beautiful and Rich ! Thank you both so much! May Angels keep you safe xx
I just finished the book “Melania” and it made me want to see Slovenia – her memories of her life there (vacations, architecture school, mountains, etc.) sound like it’s quite a diverse yet inviting European landscape. Great video! Thank you!
Terrific list – thanks!
Wow! Simply wow! What a sensational video. Thankyou…i am filled with wanderlust!
Another fabulous video. I can’t wait to see what’s next. Safe travels and thanks for sharing!
You'll probably want to avoid Italy in 2025, I wouldn't be calling it out as a place to visit. Tourist numbers are expected to be over double those of normal because of the Catholic Jubilee
Great video! Places that weren't on my list I've now added!
Very nice!
Happy new Year!! Great list, Slovenia looks so beautiful. Thank you for the great video and content. 🙂
Taiwan is amazing!!! My home country!
Your videos are so packed with knowledge . I thank you.
Awesome travels and videos! Have you looked into the narrow boats in England? We just retired and looking forward to new places and opportunities. ❤❤
