"It is through travel that we meet and understand other people and at this time, when there is so much anger and misunderstanding in the world, travel is more important than it has ever been." - Tony Wheeler, 2005-Lonely Planet

Travel destinations they would have been

April 5th 2008 01:14
This week's The Age has a travel report on places that would have been great if they were accessible at the moment.

Read: Amazing Destinations The Could Have Been

I actually have a fascination with all these 'inaccessible' places such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Democratic Republic of the Congo and others on the list. I know they have great landscapes, fascinating culture and great people, if not for their heavy military and unstable political activities.

A friend of mine is off to Afghanistan soon to work for NATO for the next 12 months. As much as I am really concerned for her safety I can't help but feel a little jealous as well. I think I would have loved to do that, putting myself extremely out of my comfort zone.

I recently also just bought The Travel Book (Lonely Planet) and I enjoyed flipping through its pages and travel to all these places in my mind. There is just so much more in the world to see!

Do you have a dream destination that is currently inaccessible to tourists?
