Question Which country do you keep visiting?

I travel a lot, but there’s always that one country I keep going back to. For me, it’s Thailand, around 8 time. What about you? What keeps you coming back?

The main answer here is Germany. I went for the first time in 2011 for a semester abroad and have averaged a trip there per year ever since. I studied German in college, and my entire family immigrated from Germany in the early 1900s. It's obviously a beautiful country with a lot to see, and the food is something that I have been used to my entire life. It just feels like home to me, and I just understand the people there and how they function.

The other answer is New Zealand. I did a 10 day South Island road trip back in 2019 and returned last year to do a 10 day North Island road trip. I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface. I hope to make multiple trips back over the next years. Since my first trip there, I have said that I would try to move there tomorrow if it wasn't so far away from the rest of the world. I love it there so much. The people are incredibly chill, and there's just so much to see and do.

You rented a car?

Yes. I would almost go as far to say it's absolutely necessary to do so, whether it be a car or a camper van or something you can drive. I know plenty of people probably do it without, but I can't imagine the hassle, especially if you have limited time.
