gm3 tourist/vacation spots you visited and would never recommend to anyone.

Las Vegas (just not my scene)
Disney World (same as above)
Buckingham Palace (there are 100s of better sites to see in London, this is one of the least interesting IMO)

Give me three places in the world that you believe everyone should experience (and why)

1.The drive south from White Rock BC to San Diego (though you could start in Victoria and take the ferry to Port Angeles) in a convertible...cause you'll be on the side closest to water and it's spectacular 85% of the way..

2.The drive around Cape Breton NS...cause it's just about as spectacular and you'll meet Acadians and Scots...eat oatcakes, clog dance, fiddle, maybe do a Highland fling (or something)

3. Sail around the Greek Islands or island hop on the ferries (easy to do)...cause they really truly are beautiful. If you're American just say you're Canadian. Course that works better anywhere you go lol... oh relax, I'm just kidding (kinda lol)

gm3 of the places furthest from your home that you've travelled to and a short "why"

Kauaʻi went there when I was around 11. I was living on Oʻahu at the time.
New Zealand spent a few weeks there and Australia on a school trip when I was 17.
Um Kenora Ontario, spent a few nights there when I was driving though Canada with my mother in 2002.

Gm3 places you would want to see before you are tooo old to travel.

Paragliding
Urban Ziplining
White water kayaking (which I do but I'm strictly an amateur, I'd love to be skilled enough to travel around the world and run Class IV - V rapids)

Give me three extreme sports that you would never-ever-ever-EVER consider trying
