Yes you are correct, it’s a Continent

I think Brianna (and I) are confused why you listed individual countries for every other item on your list, then just wrote "Africa" as a list item when it's a whole damn continent with 50+ countries.

Waow I love it, never thought about it from that perspective

If you start taking cruises you get to see a lot of country's at one time and you only have to unpack once. I've seen a lot of the world this way, and it's not as expensive as you think.

How do you see a country from a cruise ship?

Profile picture of Eve

Eve

Jill Yewell cruise ships stop in ports of the country you are visiting so you can get off the ship and explore a part of that country.

Profile picture of Amandeep

Amandeep

Yes so very true and safe and secure as well. They account for all passengers coming and going off the ship. Repositioning cruises are cheap cheap

Profile picture of Marshall

Marshall

Hmmm, I and thousands of tourists (shipmates) descending on a town all at once ... no thanks! It's more expensive and less authentic that way.

Profile picture of Jillian

Jillian

Eve Crooke Homewood.. OK.. but if someone docked from a cruise ship and spent a few hours in Vancouver and tried to tell me they'd visited Canada..I might look at them sideways.

Profile picture of Marshall

Marshall

Jill Yewell And I would look up and roll my eyes!

Profile picture of Eve

Eve

Jill Yewell and Marshall, Until you’ve done a cruise, don’t knock it, plus I would rather see different country’s even if it was only for a few hours, it’s better than being stuck in one place all the time that was not what I expected.

Profile picture of Jillian

Jillian

Totally. I get it. I’d take a cruise to Alaska. The getting stuck in one place (on a boat) all the time and it not being what I expected and not being able to leave seems problematic as well as the stories of mass food poisoning’s but maybe one day. I did go to Mexico for lunch once tho.. like I crossed the Texas/ Mexico border and had a meal in a border town and went back to Texas the same day and since the rest of the country is probably just like that border town.. ya. I’d say I’ve been to a Mexican tourist trap border town and didn’t really experience the country. Each to their own.

Profile picture of Eve

Eve

Jill Yewell I don’t think I explained my self very well, when mentioned being stuck in one place I didn’t mean on a Cruise ship, I meant when you fly to a destination somewhere and being in the same location for a couple of weeks.

Profile picture of Jillian

Jillian

Eve Crooke Homewood I didn’t mean to disregard a cruise. I do think there’s more to a country than 1 city or a port but in reality.. travelling is daunting and not usually for the faint of heart. However you’re able to see parts of the world outside your doorstep is a worthy trip. Good for you for going on cruises.

Eve

I know cruising is not everyone’s cup of tea, I’m the type of person that will try something once and if I don’t like it I won’t try again.

Also cruising is not very eco friendly, although I admit to being on several. Prefer a long term stay in a little 2 star hotel in a big city. You really get to know the place then.

As travelers, we all have a list of destinations that ignite a sense of wanderlust within us. From the vibrant cultures of South America to the pristine beaches of the South Pacific, the world is filled with breathtaking places waiting to be discovered. But what does everyone's bucket list look like? Let's dive into mine and explore the incredible destinations that top my travel wishlist.

Morocco, with its vibrant markets and stunning desert landscapes, beckons. Egypt captivates with its ancient wonders, like the iconic Pyramids of Giza. Africa offers a chance to witness majestic wildlife in their natural habitats, while Dubai dazzles with its ultra-modern architecture and luxurious lifestyle.

Island Getaways
