Most Memorable Travel Experience
so many that are memorable in their own way, but my last two "exotic" destinations - cuba and east timor - were definitely special. not so much for any superlatives, but for the combination of the beauty of the landscapes, the rawness of the towns and cities, the political climates, and the people with their outlooks and their everyday lives.
