Wow, apparently I can read well today.   I assumed she could get to the states because she mentioned NYC.




I'm sorry, OP! I am not sure which places nearer to you are great.

They are on the state department warning list right now because of political unrest and rioting.

Quoting ♥ inês:" exactly. That's what I was going to say. It's a very nice place.. The smokey mountains just make me BREATHLESS!   But the flight 's price would be so high  "

Hmm. Where have you been in the past? Are you looking for somewhere new to go?

I had no idea   I have never left the states

Quoting Salad Fingers:" You could go to Morocco and Tunisia and then work up to Rome. Both Morocco and Tunisia are very beautiful, tourist friendly countries."

Been in both. LOVED it, have to agree. But a little dangerous for two 17 year-old girls to go alone I think :/

I only know because I sign up for their emails.

Ohh, I don't know about your ages. Yeah, I think a certain level of maturity, good judgment and worldly experience is needed when traveling to countries like that.

Quoting The Doctor:" Hmm. Where have you been in the past? Are you looking for somewhere new to go?"

Yeah, because they have promotions regarding NYC (Well.. still expensive but affordable compared to the rest of the U.S. A flight to Ohio is more than $1700. Wth!!! Lol!

Anyways.. I wouldn't mind going back to somewhere I loved like London or Paris.. that's why we were thinking about those (and my friend hasn't visited London yet).. I've been to the Caribbeans and some other places.. And I'd love something similar.. lol! But they're so expensive

Hmmm.

I am going to be no help with European vacations.   I want to go everywhere there, though!

haha

I think it's more about the raping and assaults/robery.. Two young girls are easy target  

We thought about Bangkok.. A no no again because of our ages and the fact we're going completely alone lol!

Yeah, that's what I meant lol, I just didn't want to be so blunt. Unfortunately a lot of Middle Eastern/North African men prey on young tourists (male and female). A friend of mine had drugs slipped into his tea the first time he went to Morocco. -sigh- But if you know what you're doing and know not to take drinks/rides/etc from strangers, it is a great place to visit

You would love Goa if you like beaches, but I don't know about two young girls alone in India. I went by myself last year, but I was 25. I'm actually moving there next week (&Bangalore).

Thanks! Aishwarya Rai is my favorite Indian actress. She's so pretty!

do you want to go sightseeing or partying?
Mallorca or Ibiza should be good for partying.

But for sightseeing Rome, London and Paris would be good for young girls.
maybe even Milan or Venice? Antwerp is pretty to, or Berlin, lots of history there
