25 Authors and the Places They'd Most Like to Travel
Nathan Ripley
New Orleans (again)
Christina Henry
Japan
Derek Milman
Peru
Leigh Fossan
I've been to Paris, but I want to see the rest of France
Kerri Maher
India. I already love the food, and I’m really intrigued by the country’s long and complicated history, and the photographs I’ve seen of the country entrance me every time.
Steven James
New Zealand (so if you are part of a writer’s conference there please e-mail me).
Tanya Marquardt
This changes all the time, but I think I would like to see Paris before I die. I'd like to eat cheese and butter croissants there. And even though it's bad for me, I would probably fight the urge to smoke cigarettes while walking though Pere Lachaise. I know, I know. It's the sixteen year old goth girl in me. She's always inside me somewhere, listening to Siouxsie and the Banshees and reading Anne Rice novels.
Frances de Pontes Peebles
The Sloth Sanctuary in Costa Rica
Heather Harpham
In terms of my own curiosity -- Greece. My maternal grandparents came from two small Greek towns, in the early part of the last century, and I’d love to go back and see what those towns are like now. In terms of responding to the needs of world – Syria or Yemen. I’m too cowardly to go into a war zone, but if I were more courageous and capable, I’d find a way to support civilians who’ve been deprived of safety and food in those two places in particular, so painfully hit by civil war. And lastly, America. This country is so big, and so diverse culturally, historically and geographically. You could spend a lifetime investigating America and still have lots to see.
Nyna Giles
Castles in Ireland and Scotland
Sonia Faruqi
New Zealand
Emma Rous
Papua New Guinea
James Brabazon
The Underworld (return ticket only please)
Stephanie Barron
Istanbul. I am dying to pass through The Dardanelles.
Jessica Branton
All over Europe. I suppose, if I must pick, Ireland would be my first choice right now.
Alyson Richman
Italy is my favorite place in the world. I’m still finding new places there to discover!
Sally Thorne
I travel a lot in Japan, but Korea is somewhere that really interests me.
Karen Harper
The place I’ve been to the most out of the U.S. but love dearly: England.
Jillian Cantor
I’ve never been to Hawaii. We’ve been trying to plan a family trip there for years and it hasn’t worked out, but I really, really want to go. I’d love to go to the beaches, of course, but also, I really want to visit Pearl Harbor.
Christy Stillwell
England! I want to see Dartmoor in Devon, Cornwall and West Yorkshire, so it won’t be a quick trip. While there, I may as well head north to the Shetland Islands, another place on my list.
Stephanie Thornton
Mongolia
Erin McGraw
Underwater.
Madeline Miller
Greece and Turkey, always.
Annie Ward
I was an exchange student to Spain was I was in high-school and I haven’t been back since my early twenties. I am very ready to take my kids to Spain to see Flamenco, the Alhambra, eat tapas and enjoy the beach and friendly people. Spain is top on my list at the moment.
Mathangi Subramanian
I'd like to ride the Konkan railway from beginning to end.
