Also, how do/did you travel - on your own, by tours, or...?

More than two, but my favorites for anything is that there are differences. Each country has things that I enjoy, and I enjoy the differences among the countries (and their cities and regions).

I did tie; I forgot Monaco. But I do appreciate that he's way ahead on continents.

It’s hard to pick 2. We really enjoyed Japan. We stayed in a Tokyo for a few days and then flew to Kyushu. It was fantastic. People are friendly, curious and courteous. We also enjoyed Portugal so much that we returned.

We go on our own. Some of these trips happened years ago. We backpacked and took buses (Turkey, Chile, Nepal, Argentina). I worked in the Middle East for a while. Recently we mostly rent a car and drive around.
