I have done a little bit of travelling and although I love spectacular natural scenery, I also love the big cities. I always try to stay right in the heart of a city so I can get the feel of the city (also, roughing it in a tent doesn't appeal to me at all - sorry jibber!)
Some cities I've been to include (I'll pick only one per country otherwise I'd be here forever):
NYC - (pre 9/11) I was terrified about going here but I absolutely loved it! It truly is the city that never sleeps.
London - Need to go back here as one week was not long enough. So much to see and do here.
Berlin - Ultra modern and nothing like what I expected. Friendly locals.
Paris - Took my breath away. Everything I expected it to be and more.
Amsterdam - Weird city with weird people smoking weird stuff. Felt uneasy here but enjoyed my stay all the same.
Dublin - Although Australia was such a long way away, I felt the most at home in Ireland. The Brits may have discovered our country but we definitely get our sense of humour and welcoming hospitality from the Irish.
Edinburgh The Scots sure know how to party. The castle was definitely a highlight.
Auckland A smaller version of Sydney
Sydney last but not least, my most favourite city of all. Flying into Sydney you get a fantastic view of the harbour and beaches.
