18. Great Britain or Germany
Sat Jun 20, 2026, 08:58 PM

I was stationed twice in England and twice in Germany and I'd love to spend a couple of months in either one just exploring and taking in their cultures.

I'd like to travel the countryside in England, Scotland, and Wales and visit the small towns and learn some of their histories. I've been to many of the tourist spots in England and toured Edinburgh so visiting the non-tourist areas would be great.

Same goes for Germany but I'd include some of its cities like Heidelberg, Munich, and Cologne. I'd take boat rides down the Rhine and Mosel Rivers and visit the the smaller castles and cities. One thing Germany has over England is the food is much better, especially their pastries.
