My dream destination was always Istanbul, Turkey. However, on Christmas 2015 I was able to visit with my parents. I loved every moment of it, but it did mean that now I had to reorganize my list of places I want to visit. As a lover of the Silk Road (the trade routes of the ancient and late antiquity world, not the illegal online marketplace one), I would at some point like to travel the length and breadth of the overland routes. Those destinations are also on the to-do list, in no particular order:
Buenos Aires, Argentina. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (I have some friends living in Galicia who are exchange students from there) Mexico City, Mexico (resentfully; I have technically been there before, but my mother hates the place so we only pass through as fast as possible. I would like to see the national museum if nothing else) Truuk Lagoon, Federated States of Micronesia (they have a TON of ancient ruins that no one has ever excavated for some baffling reason) Seoul, South Korea Nara, Japan (I lost all interest in Tokyo when they got rid of the Sakura Taisen cafe back in 2009, but Nara is the easternmost point of the Silk Road routes and has a cool shrine with artifacts from foreign countries from centuries ago as a result) Western China: Beijing! Shanghai! Guangzhou! Eastern China, particularly Xinjiang Province (again, because of its history; the Dunhuang caves look AMAZING) Goa, India Ulanbataar, Mongolia (at one point I was going to be a Peace Corps volunteer to go there; I still might in the future) Bangkok, Thailand Phnom Penh, Cambodia Cappadocia, Turkey Samarkand, Uzbekistan Palmyra and Damascus, Syria (you know, in 20 years once the civil war is over) Beirut, Lebanon Salalah, Oman (all those archaeology digs make me want to go join in) Tehran, Iran Cairo and Alexandria, Egypt Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Israel/Palestine Tallinn, Estonia Rome, Venice, and Florence, Italy Pretoria and Johannesburg, South Africa Dakar, Senegal (Senegal has always interested me) Fez, Morocco (I've already been to Tangier and I really liked it, so I would like to try visiting again) Marseille, France
At some point I would also like to visit all the US territories, but since I'm an American it doesn't count as traveling to a foreign country.

Amens Aozora ~Blue Sky~ Amens And I want to do the same in USA and Canada. I'm assuming in Canada you want to go from St. John's, NL to Victoria, BC? You'd need a lot of time to do that. Especially if you want to spend quality time in certain places along the way or take detours from the Trans Canada Highway. Canada isn't a small country. Neither is the US. . . Even better smile I have been to Canada but only seen Alberta. As much as I hate to say it, Alberta has some of the nicest scenary in the entire country. Lake Louise and the Rocky Mountains are impressive sights. My Aunt went there and the pictures she took were amazing. If you come to Newfoundland you should visit L'Anse~Aux~Meadows and see where your ancestors tried to live. xd
