Now life is getting back to normal, and we can spread our wings and travel again. Where is the best destinations you have been to, or plan on going in the next year? I have always wanted to go to Alaska so doing a cruise next year to Vancouver and then a 7-night cruise around Alaska.

I love Japan. The seafood there is delicious and scenery is beautiful. It is quite quiet and neat there. Few people will speak in public transportation. Everyone is so polite.

travel strangely for us is more domestic currently given the high costs of overseas travel.

Vietnam is a destination we want to go back to, we went in 2019 right before Covid destroyed everyone’s plans. It was the most fantastic holiday so we are planning on going back next year. We are also looking at a cruise through Japan to celebrate my 40th birthday. Can’t wait to get back on a plane.

Next year is going to be the year of holidays for me, starting with Christmas in Canberra, a new years cruise, Vietnam in March and then a big europe trip in June and then possibly Cairns in August

I have always wanted to travel through Sth America down to the south and then take a cruise to Antarctica. I think travelling from the tropical climates of Brazil and Columbia and making my way down to the South Pole would be an amazing experience.

You should definitely make time to visit Finland. I went on a family trip to England, Germany and Finland for the Christmas holidays. We spent Christmas in a wooden cabin with a fireplace, visited Santa's village, went to the Christmas markets and even went dogsledding. It was a magical experience, and so much fun especially if you have little ones.

I visited Malta and Portugal for the first time flowing end of lock down. Everybody should go at least once. Amazing.

Getting back into cruising. Did our first cruise and loved it so had two more booked, then Covid hit, cruises cancelled. Did one in April around the Pacific Islands, have another coming up end November to New Zealand. Have two booked for 2024, fingers crossed nothing happens and they go ahead.

I travelled to Japan for 3 weeks in May 23. Absolutely loved Japan. Everyone was super helpful. Would go back again.
I have a trip to Vietnam booked for next year and a Christmas cruise booked to Tasmania this year.

I have spent this year taking in those iconic Australian destinations I have always intended to go to but was tempted away from by overseas destinations. How glad I am that I have finally experienced Uluru and Kata Tjuta, Mona in Hobart and the Daintree.

Any place that I have not been to before. Have just booked a trip to Samoa as it seems like a very laid-back place with a lot to see

I’m off to France to cruise on the Danube river.
I paid for this holiday before covid & it got cancelled twice.
I’m finally going after a long four year wait.

We need to really review how travel happens. We are killing travel destinations with our love of them. Back from 2 months in Canada - wildfires pretty much everywhere. Hoards of tourists in the Rockies - buses spewing diesel particulate, too many feet trampling nature, the rubbish, the consumerism………ironic I know as I was part of the problem.
There were too many tourists and the landscapes are getting crushed, the animals surrounded by badly behaved humans, the rubbish, the toilet paper with the detritus it comes with. It made me realise that travel was becoming just another form of consumerism.
Destinations in demand need to control visitor numbers or areas of natural beauty are just going to turn into grimy nature theme parks.
I don’t have any answers to how to do it, but conversations need to start.

I've been enchanted by Iceland's natural beauty in the past. For next year, I'm aiming for the Amalfi Coast in Italy, a blend of coastal charm, gourmet delights, and history. Here's to exciting adventures ahead!

Japan is one of my favourites! Super clean, safe and easy to get around. Plus it's different enough to be exciting and have a bit of a culture shock.

I've visited many spectacular places in my life. I cannot think of a holiday I haven't enjoyed. I think Antarctica is probably the most spectacular. I have been to the Peninsula twice and to the Ross Sea once. I am heading back there this year but round to the Weddell Sea to see the Emperor penguin chicks.
I enjoy small ship expeditions to remote places. One trip was sailing up the middle of the South Atlantic calling in at various remote volcanic islands including Tristan da Cunha, St Helena and Ascension Islands

Not long back from Egypt, Jordan & Turkey, amazing trip which we were supposed to take in 2020 but had to postpone. Would love to travel to lots of places and as we aren't getting any younger need to get going.

As much as I'd like to go back to Europe, I think most of mine for a while will be here or Asia.

I have started travelling to those places in Australia I always meant to go to and didn’t get there -Uluṟu, Mona, Daintree, Kimberleys, Wilpena Pound, Eyre Peninsula, SA Riverland

Hi Mae going in 3 weeks to Canada and doing the Alaska, Rockies and so on can't wait, we should have done this trip in 2021 when it was cancelled.

I have always wanted to visit Greece and see all those houses cobbled into the side of the mountain. I can’t help but wonder what would happen if there was an Earthquake. Wondering about them doesn’t cause them thank goodness.

My husband and I cruised from Hamburg to Spitsbergen (Longbean) Norway a few years ago. It was magical and we were closer to the Artic Circle than the distance between Adelaide and Sydney. The fiords were breathtaking and needing a rifle to protect from polar beers if leaving the small town limits was also breathtaking. Would love to repeat the experience.

My partner and I currently have 1 month trip booked around Europe (who wouldn't be up for going away to Europe) in 2 months. The ideal time at the peak of European Summer with friends and endless eating. With the days flying by I will be on the flight in no time.

I was going to Fiji about 2 decades back. Tried 3 times.

1st try: military coup. cancelled.
2nd try: military coup. cancelled.
3rd try: cyclone.

decided it was better for the Fijians if I didn't try again.
