Favourite country?

Of course my favourite is the UK. Abroad though I like the USA, great people and as much variety as the whole of Europe. Within the USA my favourite states are Colorado, California and the New England states.
 
Although we like trying different countries, France is still favourite.
 
I'm still exploring the UK to be honest, so not taken my van overseas yet but Martin and I hired a motorhome in NZ a few years back and I hired one on Tasmania last year for a trip with my daughter. Both stunning places and great for wildcamping.

As for non-camping, I've lived and explored overseas a fair bit and I'm really fond of the places I've called home, especially the US... still got lots of friends there. My new love is Aus though and my daughter lives there, so I get to visit a lot.
 
Has to be Australia ,the,food ,the lifestyle ,the beaches, the weather, the diversity.the wild life .the standard of living .and the bonus of the metre maids in surfers paradise ,
 
Mmm

Easy question difficult answer
Motorhome
Norway
New Zealand
Sweden
Scotland

I have holidayed/overnighted in over 50 countries
(Plus 4 Luxemburg drive through
Visa and 30min visit for Laos
Visa and visit to KL in Malaysia
Drive to Afghan Border from Pakistan !)
My 50 countries include the following (NOT Motorhome trips)
a) school visits as a leader/assistant
b) school ski trips as a leader/assistant
c) rugby tours as leader/assistant
d) individual trips to watch cricket (Trinidad and Sri Lanka)
e) Exodus and the like (adventure tours)

I thoroughly enjoyed all the trips
The best being (Mainly adventure)
Pakistan and China (1994)
Peru
New Zealand (Motorhome)
Jordan
Tibet
Morocco
Thailand
I know others will disagree but the only country which had issues was Romania (Motorhome)

I may well publish more detail on my web-site but that will take a short time !

France, Portugal,Greece, in order of preference if Greece was easier to get to it might be different
 
Yorkshire.
The rest of the world is rubbish.
They are all narrow minded,biased xenophobes.

But we were thrown out, for complaining about the weather.

I now have the spend half the year exiled in The East Algarve.

Anywhere in Iberia, away from the tourist traps will do. France has changed, we don't feel as welcome as before.
Ireland is great, apart from the weather..Ditto Scotland.
We're fed up with long haul flying.. Been there, enjoyed it....that's enough
Short haul is only tolerable because it's short.
But I had my happiest day ..... In Pudsey.
 
'wales

I am plumping for Wales because you can't go wrong. Everything is in double, no overnight camping, no overnight stopping, all fines are are up in Welsh and English. There is no overnight parking for motorhomes between 10pm and 8am on the Rhyl sea front now believe it or not. We had a bloke taking photos of our number plates on a tiny beach on Anglesey. We was nearly cut off by the tide in another tiny beach in Anglesey after a bloke said it was very safe, the sea was touching the wheels on one of the vans close to midnight. I found a campervan friendly pub with very difficult access that turned out to be under new management and had to move on. I eventually found a retail park on the POIs and settled in for the night, so I thought, but I was next to a Pizza Hut which was very lively until after about 11.30pm. I made up for it the next morning though with a long lie in until 5.30am in the morning when a B&Q lorry pulled in next to me and left his engine running while he unloaded some stuff and reloaded some other stuff. The view was stunning though with sheet rain and hurricane winds driving across the the Halfords and Home Base four courts. Yes its Wales for me every time. :) .

If you mean in the van, France and Portugal for me so far though I've yet to venture to Italy, Croatia and Greece. My favourite country to travel in is India. Without the van!

Aah, happy memories Tom :lol-061:
 
I see I said France and Greece five years ago. Still France for me by a country mile. Europe's play ground, just has everything. Not been back to Greece since 2008.

Oh dear, better stick to Scotland Tom :wave:
 
I have been to lots of places but I am now discovering the UK. I will not have another Passport and I will definitely never see another Airport.

Of all the places I have been, Zimbabwe was by far the best, for many reasons. It was only 12 months after Mugabe took over and still unspoiled. It is the only country that my Wife loved and she said "I could move here tomorrow". Such a shame that it is now ruined by a madman and his cronies. :(
 
Great Britain of course , but I do like travelling to other places, been to Ireland , Greece , Norway, Sweden , Denmark, Germany Austria ,Switzerland . Hungary Poland, Spain , Portugal, Morocco, etc all in the van for long term trips , but would not want to live anywhere but here in Blighty.:camper: Also flown to Australia, New Zealand USA Far East , etc so had a good opportunity to decide what I like best.
