Wether you're welcome somewhere or not depends a lot of your nationality.

Being Belgian helps a lot since it's a little country no one ever hears off...

I'd like to go to at least one of the ancient towns/monuments.

I don't want to travel anymore. It's too much stress. Especially traveling by plane, which is a total nightmare for socially anxious people like me. I used to think that I'd love to visit the USA, but I've been cured from that desire.

Top 3 places you have been:
I've only been to Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands (repeatedly), and the UK. But I didn't get out of Heathrow airport. I was headed for California, but decided to fly back because I had a major panic attack and my Crohn's was acting up. That was my first trip by plane, a huge waste of money, and my last attempt to travel anywhere.

2- Machu Picchu

1. Scotland. Part of my inspiration for this username came from that. The country was very beautiful, especially the Highlands, and the culture was great. The people were surprisingly friendly, especially when my parents started speaking with a sophisticated accent. In a souvenir store in Edinburgh Castle, I bought a plastic crown and started wearing it. People referred to me as 'Your Majesty' and 'His Majesty'. There was no jest at all in many people's tone. Another great place to be was Dunrobin Castle. The stairs were magnificent, and the gardens were very pretty. There was a bird show, and one of the birds landed on my father's hat.

2. The better parts of Germany. The people were very quiet, but they seemed to work hard, complain little and they were very helpful whenever we needed help - and whenever they were paid, of course. The scenery was great, although one cable car across a giant ravine was extremely frightening. Although the cities are really full of homeless people, the buildings were well-maintained and local authorities seemed to have more of an eye for not building modern eyesores next to palaces and medieval or early-renaissance houses than those in this country.

3. Yorkshire. I loved Clifford's Tower, and the place with the replica viking village with the viking taking a dump was hilarious. There was also a nice train museum, and two other museums, one of which had a replica Victorian street. It was really interesting to see the York Minster, also. It looks much higher from inside.

1. Delfshaven, Rotterdam. Nearby, but that part of Rotterdam is just plain dangerous in the evening. Along with some friends, I've nicknamed it 'Mogadishu of the North' for the rather large amount of armed criminals. Less than a week after I visited it, there was yet another deadly shooting in that street. I'm just glad I visited it on a different night and only had to wade through several layers of garbage on the streets while observing some Moroccans preparing for a night store robbery.

2. Newcastle, United Kingdom. It was dreadful. It was rainy on both occasions I was there, but it must be that depressing at any time of the year. It's a visually-depressing place, most of all, although it appears quite poverty-stricken also. Those coincide, and reinforce each other. It seemed like a city without a soul, a place where people gathered not because they wanted to, but because they didn't know where else to gather.

3. Former East Germany. For anyone who believes East Germany did any good, take a trip through that area. Even the equality sucks - my mother's cousin used to run a charity there because they were extremely poor - and that was the 1980s. The moment you cross the former border at any point across Germany nowadays, even without signs, you'll see where the good part ended and the bad part began. Suddenly, architecture takes a turn for the worse. Centuries-old palaces are neglected, roads are bad, there are half-finished railway projects everywhere and houses are uninspired, made mostly out of concrete and cheap building materials, and poorly-maintained. All good parts were built during the nineteenth century or before, and have been poorly maintained during the Soviet occupation.

Honourable mentions for this category: Luxembourg, southern Belgium, northern France, Hull.
