Q4 via @sebaboerner: Where is your personal paradise?
Hands up if it’s at the beach!
@HollyGalbraith: Unawatuna Sri Lanka – it is paradise!!
@BespokeTravels: This one is pretty wonderful…
@adlibtraveller: Rio Grande in Jamaica, peaceful, relaxing and just beautiful to drift along.
@cjguest: I’m pretty sure I’ll find my personal paradise in the Maldives, the Seychelles, or Barbados.
@traveldudes: Looking at the sunset, from your sailing boat, which lies in a beautiful and lonely bay.
@Inga_Ros: Any “private” beach on or around the Dalmatian coast in #Croatia is my personal paradise.
@anyaosk: The one I’ve been to is in Maldives; the one on my #bucketlist is in Bora Bora.
@kitwhelan: My first thought was a beach with a Harry Potter book. Second thought was Comic-Con. 🙂
How about the city?
@IHateTaxis: Atop Gaudi’s La Pederera in Barcelona, the lower deck of the Eiffel Tower, atop Mars Rock in Athens…. just to name a few!
@cgywayfarer: Walking the streets of downtown San Francisco on a sunny afternoon.
@CharlesRyanTeo: My personal paradise would have to be Las Vegas. Aircraft, beautiful women 😉 and landscape can be found over there!
@jettingaround: Paris – or as I call it, Parisdise. 😀
A breath of fresh air in the great outdoors!
@Ali_Jane322: Well, the 2 most incredibly beautiful places I’ve ever been are definitely Cape Town, South Africa and Mauritius.
@letssitoutside: My personal paradise… Wherever I can get lost/wander around. So far Burkina Faso, #NYC, Ushuaia…
Home is where the heart is
@gAdventures: Too many to name. No matter how far you travel there is no place like home. Your own bed after a long trip can be paradise.
@HW_Travel: Big dinner table with all my favorite people, mucho wine and some sort of beautiful back drop!
@RunawayJuno: Anywhere where my heart is.
@MarkVogler: My personal paradise is, of course, #Sonoma #Wine Country. My home.
Sometimes it’s not that difficult to find, as this traveller says,
@tweetsfromjody: Paradise = a good night’s sleep, good food & a good adventure.
Have you found your paradise? Where is it, what does it look like?
