What’s your biggest travel regret? For me, it was skipping Machu Picchu because I thought I’d “come back someday.” Spoiler: I haven’t. What’s one place, experience, or opportunity you passed on while traveling that still haunts you?

You were in Peru but skipped Manchu picchu? Yes, I imagine that would be a regret.

I have a bunch of small ones, but only because when I travel I like to relax, or get lazy and don’t want to plan extra weekends. I think I’ll be back too, but then time passes -

I spent a month in Lisbon and didn’t bother to take a short trip to Cascais or Porto.
Spent almost a year in Germany and didn’t weekend in Prague or go skiing in the alps.
5 weeks in Thailand and didn’t go to Chiang Mai.
4 weeks in Spain, skipped Madrid.

Lived in Orange County California for years and never took my niece to Disney. (My sister waited till after she turned 18 to guilt trip me on that)

Next year I’ll be in England for a while. Lesson learned to plan to see more of UK, and perhaps see those other European cities too

I went to Australia when I was 21 (many, many years ago) and I really wanted to go to Ayers Rock in the outback. I was with 5 other girls and they wanted to stick to the coast. Now you can't get near the rock and I am sure I will never be back there again. At least I got to snorkle the Reef.
