Well, hello to you, my reader chums! I'm incredibly grateful I've spent my twenties travelling the world, exploring new places, including two backpacking trips, city breaks and longer holidays to see multiple places in one trip. 

Travelling is part of my soul and something I never want to stop; I'd love to be able to keep adventuring until I'm old and grey, making memories with loved ones.

If you're planning a holiday and unsure where to go, here are the best countries I've travelled to that I'd revisit again and again.

Sri Lanka

Canada

My road trip in Canada was an experience I'll never forget. The landscapes and mountainous scenery didn't look real, and I don't understand how lucky I am to have experienced it all. I took a road trip across Alberta and British Columbia, visiting Banff, Canmore, Jasper and Golden and soaking up the beauty along the way. Beforehand, I also visited Toronto and took Niagara Falls off my bucket list. 

Why do I want to visit again? I've never felt more at peace than in the surroundings of Alberta. Banff National Park had to be my favourite, especially Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, hiking to Lake Agnes, Johnston Canyon, Bow Falls, Banff Town and Canmore. Driving throughout Banff National Park was a dream where I didn't want to miss a second of the views. Beyond that, driving through Jasper National Park and Yoho National Park was just as gorgeous and magical.

Thailand

Thailand is a country I have visited multiple times and would love to revisit again. There's something magical about Thailand; it's called the 'Land of Smiles' for a reason. I have many gorgeous memories of Thailand from the two times I've visited, one time for 5 weeks and another for a week's trip. Thailand has plenty of beautiful islands with clear waters and incredible scenery, such as Koh Lanta, Koh Lipe, Koh Tao and Koh Samui. Each island has its unique appeal, whether you'd prefer a party holiday, pure relaxation or watersports, such as snorkelling and scuba diving.

Aside from the gorgeous beach and island scene, Thailand has some of the very best foods, including curries, noodle dishes and rice meals. I also adored the cities, their beautiful temples and learning more about Thai history and their culture. 

Indonesia

I absolutely fell in love with Indonesia, more than I expected to, and I'm not only talking about Bali. Many people only visit Bali on their trip to the country, but there's so much more to the country than one island. Indonesia boasts diversity in terms of religion, historical sights, island cuisine and mountainous territory. 

Italy 

Italy is my favourite country and my most-visited country, and I had to include it in this list. It's hard to describe why I love Italy as it has been my obsession since I was a little girl and part of my heritage. There's much joy in Italy to explore, from the delicious food scene stretching from north to south, whether you love Bolognese, cured meats and tortellini to arrancini and pizza down south. It's the land of delicious, fresh food made from the heart. 

Italy has plenty to explore and variety across the country, from gorgeous cities to explore with their cobbled streets and old, historic buildings, lakes and mountainous towns with scenery you'll fall in love with and coastal towns with a charm like no other and picturesque scenery. I've visited 7 times across the country, but there are plenty of locations I'd see again, such as Lake Maggiore, Tuscany and Bologna. 

Switzerland 

Love chocolate and cheese? Switzerland is the land for you. I only ever heard positive things about Switzerland, and I'm happy to confirm it lives up to every positive review. The mountainous and lake towns, especially, are a gem to visit with scenery I could only dream of, matching the beauty of Canada's national parks. I fell in love with Spiez and Brienz and felt lucky to go up Mount Niesen. 

Zurich was also a massive surprise with its appeal, chocolate shops everywhere and delicious cheese fondue! The perfect place to eat as much as possible.

Vietnam 

I've visited Vietnam twice and I'm obsessed with the country for multiple reasons: the food, the diverse scenery, the history and the feel of the country. I can't explain why or how I love Vietnam, but there's something about it which is special to me. The rush of Hanoi, the quietness and gorgeous rice fields of Mai Chau, the beauty of Cat Ba Island and Halong Bay, boat tours in Tam Coc and quaint ambience of Hoi An. 

I could mooch and explore Vietnam forever, especially eat my way around it, with the banh mi, pho, rice pancakes, noodle dishes and curries. I'd love to roam around the wild streets of Hanoi, cycle around Hoi An, watch the mountainous view in Halong Bay and cycle along the peaceful rice fields.

Malaysia 

Malaysia is a country that surprised me on many levels. As it borders Thailand, I assumed the culture would be very similar; however, I couldn't be more shocked at the diversity. Malaysia's culture was diverse in terms of religion, history and food scene. Kuala Lumpur with its iconic skyscrapers, city appeal and noteworthy Batu Caves, Cameron Highlands with its hiking experiences and tea plantations, the national park in Penang and the calmness of Langkawi and the beaches.

Croatia 

I adored everything about Croatia, and I wish I could revisit to see more of the country. I've only seen Dubrovnik, and the capital was a gorgeous, historic city with plenty to see and relax on the many beaches. I loved the food, the vibes, the clear waters and the general peace - and I'd love to see more of Croatia's islands.

I hope you enjoyed this post. Which countries would you revisit?
