In reply to Heather. I'm looking forward to visiting Vancouver one of these days.

Vancouver, Canada has my heart in a jar … the North Shore Mountains, dirt cheap street food (for Canada) and the unique neighbourhoods do it for me everytime! Oh, and it’s quite mild throughout the “winter” as well (palm trees can grow and survive there!)

In reply to Suki F. It really is. And it's a fun-loving place. Definitely accurate to say it's the way the Caribbean used to (and still should) be.

Out of the ones in the list my favorite has to be Utila. It is such a laidback little place.

In reply to Tom @ Waegook Tom. Interesting to see Montreal on that list. I'll keep that in mind when we visit Canada. Medellin was only meh for me. Very much looking forward to visiting Taipei at some point!

In reply to RaW | Ramble and Wander. I definitely wouldn't mind coming back to London and spending more time. It's such a huge city, and there's just so much to do! I love the quirky side of Paris and London.

In reply to Steph (@ 20 Years Hence). Lyon is a bit more livable than Paris and definitely has a different kind of charm. I liked it there. Really enjoyed Saigon, but not quite enough to call it a favorite. Great city, though. Would definitely like to spend more time there. I still haven't made it to NYC! Maybe next year. So can't blame you about the food bias. LOL

What, no Hanoi on this list?!? 😉

My list is very heavily Asian biased, but on the Europe front, I’d say favorite cities are: Rome & London. I’m curious to revisit Paris in a few months to see how I feel—I’ve always liked it, but I think I liked Lyon better (though I can’t even express exactly why that is!). Edinburgh is also a wonderful city—along with London, I love the “literary” culture that continues to exist there.

In Asia, my favorite cities are: Ho Chi Minh City, Hue (most people snub it, but I love how “Vietnamese” it feels, and the countryside is some of the best in the entire country), Hong Kong, and Bangkok. As you can tell, I’m very much a “big city” kind of girl. 😀 I also really liked Taipei, but it reminded me so much of Toronto, my hometown, I feel like I can’t rightly judge it on its own merits.

I also feel like as much as I don’t really want to live in North America again any time soon (not including Mexico), there are some pretty fab cities in the States: New York, San Francisco, Charleston, & Savannah. All of them are incredible foodie destinations, which probably explains my love affair with them…

Based on your list, I have only been to 4 of them – Paris, Prague, London, and err… KL, haha! And I love all of them. I can go back to London and Paris over and over and would probably never get bored of them. As for KL, I don’t think I would enjoy living in KL but as a Malaysian, it’s a nice city to go back to after travelling/living overseas for some time. Glad however it makes it to your list, haha!

I love all the cities on your list here, well apart from Utila, but I’ve never been there. My list would feature Montreal, Istanbul, New York, Sydney, Taipei, Belgrade and San Francisco. And Paris…Prague, Newcastle, Seoul, Chisinau, Medellin…so many places.
