by Marpessa - last update: Oct 3, 2007

This page is a list of places I want to go and places I want to return to. I used to have about 70 places listed here - but I've now 'cut' it down to 3-5 countries within each region, and then hopefully once I've gone to these places I will put a new one up.

All maps on this page are from : http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/MapCenter/map.aspx


Below you will find a mix of cities or countries within the different continents that I would like to visit. Not all continents are covered, that doesn't mean I don't want to go there - it just means I want to (hopefully) go to these places first


Scandinavia
Take a guess where the first place is? :D I fell in love with Scandinavia last year, this is a very beautiful region of the world, and I can't wait to return!

1) Scandinavian capitals: Oslo, Helsinki, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Reykjavik.

2) Norway: Larvik, Bergen, Tromsø, Trondheim.

3) Sweden: Linköping, Malmö, Kalmar, Norrköping, Kiruna.

4) Finland: Rovaniemi, Porvoo, Turku.

5) Denmark: Århus, Helsingør.
Central/Eastern Europe

~ Central/Eastern Europe ~

*I got a taste of Central/Eastern Europe when I visited (briefly) Estonia and the Czech Republic last year. I have been reading up on these countries and would love to visit them. Plus I promised my friend Mla I'd come and visit him in Zagreb next time I'm over in Europe :D*

1) Croatia: Zagreb, Dubrovnik, Split.

2) Slovenia: Llubljana.

~ Western Europe ~

*These are countries I've wanted to visit for a very long time, since I was a teenager, I hope to get to see them all. Europe is an incredible place for me - so many countries close to each other with vastly different cultures, yet with interlocking histories. Here I have only listed countries I haven't been to - but to all the countries I have been to in Europe I would like to return and see more of*

1) Spain: Barcelona, Madrid, San Sebastian.

2) Germany: Frankfurt, Berlin, Cologne, Munich, Hamburg.
