In the Tuscan hills, by the pool, eating fresh bread and mozzerella with a big fat glass of red wine!
The Grand Canyon, USA
Anywhere.
Ha.
Most specifically, I'd love to go to Paris. To run away to Paris. To go for at year at least before I even think about coming back.
Yes, that would be sublime.
I would go to the South of France - St. Remy Du Provence. There is a little villa there with a private pool and endless hillside and scenery. I love it there.
I'd like to go see my parents who live in Madrid (I live in Boston), and wander around and explore new neighborhoods together (while eating plenty of Manchego!)

I'd be where Josie is...she took the words right out of my mouth. I can taste the wine and mozzarella right now.
I spent 3 months in Europe in the fall '08 to study abroad. I lived in Salzburg and traveled on the weekends. I miss Salzburg constantly because it became home to me, and it's so quiet and peaceful. I pine for it daily, but lately I've been dreaming of Italy - Rome, mostly. I just loved how happy everyone seemed, and how much good food and wine awaits you!
*sigh* i love Paris so so much... I owe it a visit. I'm seriously craving the sunshine and beaches of Southern Europe right now... need some proper summer sunshine on me!

I would love to be sitting in this first photo! I can almost feel the fresh air:)..Breathtaking!! Have a lovely Thursday, Joanna
Seeing the top photo makes me want to visit Norway again! My cousins live in Larvik, Norway and it's been at least 15 years since I last visited. The serenity of the top photo makes me want to start saving for my next trip!
It's hard to figure out, but that top photo, is it by Ponyprincess?

Great photos, at any rate.
Dreaming about Paris . . . would also like to take a trip to Iceland.
I leave for England next week!!! Gah! I've been seriously debating on taking a flight over to Paris. It's so close!
Beautiful pictures! Right now, I'd love to go to Rome or Scotland. I'm in the early stages of talking to my husband and teenage daughter about a European vacation in the future. My son usually doesn't care where we go - he just likes being with us and having fun.
Florianópolis, Brazil. Check out some pictures- it's the most beautiful place I've ever been! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florianópolis

I would like to be standing on the edge of Glencoe.
wild iceland, definitely!
larvik sounds amazing!! omg, i am googling all these places now :)
That first one kind of looks like it's in 3D!
I would really like to go to Thailand. The food, the colors, the temples...
i would love to either be in that top photo OR swimming in the ocean in positano and looking up at the pastel houses and dramatic cliffs. xo
Sitting on the terrace of Hotel Loukas in Santorini (& ignoring the day-tourist ships)...
Then I'd hop the daily flight to Rome for the evening.
That first photo is amazing! I went to the Smoky Mountains years ago and it looked just like that photo...so beautiful and serene.
I'd love to be sitting on a beach in Florida right now!
Capri and Ischia and I would get around on an Abici! I would have amazing legs after 1 month on each island...and a great tan.
alaska
Taking a roadtrip to Charleston, SC TODAY!!! I can't wait...I have been itching to GO somewhere.
Buenos Aires!xx

I think I've sat on that exact same spot in Norway! Is it in Bergen? Only difference is we went in autumn and the hills/cliffs were golden. magical.
I´m only 2 weeks back from my holiday but I already long for Tuscany with it´s wonderful food, beautiful landscapes and lovely little puppy I needed to leave behind...
Love,
Nancy
I would go home to Melbourne, Australia to have a night of wine, gossip and giggles with my best friends.
Turkey - the crossroads of civilization.
I want to be in a Mountain cottage... surrounded by big trees and rainy weather... with a cup of hot chocolate and homemade bread, a good movie and my hubby by my side... God!
I'd love to be in the Scottish Highlands right now. I've never been there, but my boyfriend did his student teaching over there and I ache with envy every time I look at his pictures. And, every time he talks about it he gets really, really excited to take me there someday.
Though, I totally wouldn't mind being in either of the places in your photos either!
Wow, gorgeous photos! I'm currently in Paris and loving it, actually, though I would love to go to New Zealand, where my family is from, at some point....
Thanks so much!

Hihi, I am in the north of Norway right now! And I think I will stay here the entire summer :)
We just moved back here from Oslo a few weeks ago and I've never been better!
Hugs,
Signe
Oh wow how beautiful!! If I could go anywhere it would be Positano in the Amalfi Coast..where we went on our honeymoon and the most gorgeous place I have ever been!

Belgium and Lativa. I know. Polar opposites but two countries that have a fond and unforgettable place in my heart.
Since I'd like to be going to school in Portland, Oregon in three years I'd like to go there. But I've always wanted to go to Ireland. But right now, I'd settle for some California coastal sunshine
http://www.littlemisscards.blogspot.com
Away, away, away from here. I've been daydreaming about Morocco. Something radically different.
I'm going to travel different Greek islands this summer - leaving from my home in Denmark tomorrow!
On my dream-list is also roadtrip in the US, visiting Greenland, seeing Sct. Basils Cathedral in Moscow, traveling in Chile and visit Eden Project in Cornwall + much more :) One day it will happen, I am sure!
It is my dream to one day go to Norway. I feel drawn to this place...so lovely.
i'm actually hopping a plane to london this evening, so i can't stop thinking about england at the moment :) dreamy photos!
My mom is headed to Norway this summer & I was already jealous - this pic just reinforces it! :) I'm going to Los Angeles for the first time in August, I'm super excited!
Dubrovnik, Croatia. I just watched the Rick Steves episode about it (cool, I know) and there's a bar there called Buza that is literally in the Adriatic. *sigh*
If you have time, I highly recommend a little Google-cation.
This post is actually perfect as I'm going to Paris in 2 weeks and planning a trip to Norway and Sweden for August:) That top image is gorgeous!
I would love to be in either Hawaii or Italy - both seem like perfect summer destinations right now. =)

Mission accomplished! Wanderlust has commenced :)
Italia! And in 11 days (!) I'll be there (after what is sure to be a hellish transatlantic flight)!
I've been wanderlusting over Nepal lately. And last nite I saw a program on the Discovery channel about a levitating monk who lives in the mountains there. It didn't help any.
My whole life I dreamt of living in an apartment just like that one, with a cute balcony obn the corner of the building.

I'd love to go to California....it's been a dream for quite a while~ I'd love to go wine-tasting in Napa...
beautiful pics!
The archipelago in Sweden!
Petra
oh...iceland or turkey. Two completely different destinations but equally fascinating to me.

Meb
I would love to be anywhere on the Mediterranean!
my dad went to norway for 2 years on a mission for our church and he completely fell in love. i am dying to go there one day!!
♥ allister bee blog
I would love to go to California or back to the Dominican Republic. Anywhere hot and with a beach would be just fine!
some southeast asian island somewhere, in one of those bungalows built right on the water, with a glass floor and an infinity pool that looks like it flows right into the sea. yeah, I'm a pretty good fantasizer. Instead of Bali though, I'm headed to Wisconsin! Ha ha ha...
http://nomadic-d.blogspot.com/
I've always wanted to go to London, but I'm SO HAPPY and excited to say that I will be headed there just two days from now!!!
Next on my list is Rome, Greece (specifically Santorini and Athens), and Israel. I hope I can turn my wishes into a reality and visit these amazing places one day.
Honestly, I have the travel bug, and, if given the opportunity, I would love to travel anywhere. I can't think of a place I would turn down a trip to.
Napa, California...ahhhh!
i'd love jet off to sardegna, italy. it's the most beautiful place that i've ever been!
oh, that is beautiful! and i'm right where i've always dreamed of being :) living on the french riviera is the perfect way to spend my summer
akumal, mexico... sand, cerulean blue waters and snorkeling.
aw man. Norway would be great. I'm dying to see the Fjords. Wanderlust is one of my favorite German words, along with Sehnsucht.
Paris...then London. :)
This morning I wish I was in London so much it makes my stomach hurt a little bit. Not for a visit, for forever. I swear, I'd take a job as a full-time toilet scrubber if it meant I could live in that city.
If I was just vacationing... the Western Balkans or Mauritius.
It's hard to pick just one! Norway, Sweden, Buenos Aires, Napa Valley...so many places, so little time ( and money!)!
I want to be riding coasters at wonderland in canada :p . and fiji.
http://www.pinkpeonieswithlove.blogspot.com
i'd love to visit vancouver, india, sweden, vietnam, portugal, tahiti... seriously almost anywhere! i'm game.
England, Devon, or Dalmatian islands!!!!!!!
Somewhere along the Dordogne in France with a lot of wine and a good group of friends. But for now, I'm settling on NY, in 15 hours!
Anywhere on the coast of Maine!
I'm going to Norway at the end of August! I hope I can visit a beautiful fjord. :)
I'd love to travel around more of Europe, though!
Sweden and Norway...so beautiful
Iceland. It's been at the top of my list for awhile now.
Beautiful photos. :)
~Sarah
@DearSarah
Definitely Iceland and Norway! Just knocked Italy, The Netherlands, and Germany off my list of places to visit!
http://justbreathe18.blogspot.com/
Oh this is beautiful!! I don't know... Norway looks pretty good to me. Although, perhaps somewhere in the Southern hemisphere...

I've been having dreams of going back to El Salvador lately. Eating green mangoes on the beach with my husband and my closest friends sounds fantastic right now...

Paris! In a heartbeat...I love, love, love that city. Ahh....
oooh! I'm going to Norway in August! Do you know where this picture was taken? It's gorgeous.
new to your blog... love it and you are just SOOOOO cute!!!!
love these photos, making me want to ditch the laundry and take a road trip.
humm... i would love to go to the beach with my kids. we live in az, so we don't get to one very often!
have a great weekend!
My only request is to escape the grey that engulfs this city of mine. Seattle, I love you, but you're bringing me down. Clear blue skies and 80 degrees would do my soul some good.
I'm off to travel round Europe (Berlin, Warsaw, Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Dubrovnik, Milan, Paris) in 5 days and it's only just starting to sink in! The bottom photo is beautiful - just looking at it gave me shivers of excitement. Wish me luck!
I would go to a tropical island and sip fruity drinks!

Ha, I would go the your first picture. I want to jump into it. If only the Narnia books were real... I feel like it could happen :)

croatia, paris, england, istanbul, greece...i would love to travel all over europe.
Santorini, Greece. I love that island.
If I could go anywhere I'd probably be somewhere with lots of water, flowers, and good food to eat...maybe Hawaii! :-)
Paris! Je'taime Paris...
Aaaah, I'm from Norway! It's amazing how beautiful the country is, and how one kind of forgets living here!
If anyone is going to Norway/want to go, I'm able and willing to give you advice!! (Maaaany places look as amazing as the picture above!)
I would go to SPAIN! Which is fortunate because I'm leaving to go there in 1 week!
Thanks for posting the pix - they are gorgeous. Wanderlust indeed!
Awww! Your killing me with the picture of Norway. Its next up on my travel list, but with my husband in grad school for the next three years it will be a little while before I make it there. Thanks for keeping the dream alive, though. That picture is gorgeous!
I've been dying to get back to Paris...but I would go for Thailand at the moment :)

In the country: California. Out of the country: Greece.
Texas heat is a silent form of murder.
Great post and amazing pictures!!!
www.mimosasnthemorning.com
If i could be ANYwhere? Id be in love in New York.. or on an island in greece.. they are tied for first place
You are most velcome to my beautiful country, Norway! *summerhug*
I would go to Salvador, in Brazil, to visit my friend over there...
It's way too hot here, so I'd go back to Scotland! It's incredibly beautiful there and I miss it!
i need a tropical vacation SO bad!
paris and bergen are top of my list currently, but otherwise i'd very much like to be sat in a garden in south west france, watching the sun set over the fields, eating artichoke and drinking rose for aperitif...
We would absolutely LOVE to wander around Italy and learn about our heritage......take in the culture, food, people, land, etc. Someday!!!

The pictures have me in awe!
If I could go anywhere right now I would transport my self to some chic coffee shop and bakery in France.Then I would stroll down the streets on a highly important mission of finding THE perfect secluded yet so hip boutique!

Great blog btw! here is a link to mine: http://fashion-bumpkin.blogspot.com/
Easter Island... then to Patagonia!!!
surfing, beach, wind...
taking it to the limit.
for sure.
but i might also pick the south of france for a nap in lavender fields and train riding?!?
oh day dreams.
Paris is gorgeous right now! But I wouldn't mind sitting by a little villa in the South of France with a glass of rose in hand and the Mediterranean sea just before me!
I'm off to Montreal for the weekend. Yeay! What about you, where would you want to jet off?
Keeping it simple,.....the bike ride tonight in NYC sounds pretty nice to me. Enjoy! xo
some beach...somewhere (not picky on location as long as its not too warm and not too cool) but heck if I can go anywhere, I've always wanted to go to monte carlo or monaco.
We just landed in Alaska yesterday. I spent my morning stomping through the woods looking for a moose with my tot in a cool 60 degree breeze with a beautiful view of the mountains!
Best,
Tina
South Africa.
I'd like to go back to Oxford, England with my husband. We both studied abroad there before we knew one another. I'd like to go to Alsace-Lorraine and visit my French cousins. Then I'd like to somewhere along the coast in Italy. How about Argentina as well? I could go on and on!
As much as I would love to go to a place Ive never been, like Greece or Norway, I know I would end up choosing somewhere I made a home before and loved and miss...probably the Italian and French riviera. Esp if its summer time. *sigh sigh sigh*
beautiful photos! plus: it's always funny to see german words like wanderlust or kindergarten in english texts.
many greetings from germany, nora
I would go wherever my beloved is located. Right to his doorstep!
Although I'm sure it would be an awkward meet-cute.
i want to go to poland, and back in time a couple of weeks ago to see their solstice lanterns go up in the air!
i love paris so much! i want to go back everyday all the time! would also take any sort of tropical island right now! :)
Finland. It's my dream in life to travel there. The way of life is just so simple. Good food, loving people, and simple living.
p.s. The woman's sweater in the top photo is making me long for cool, late summer evenings.
i love new york city, i would like to be right now strolling its amazing streets
I hear the Croatian coast is a dream and not too touristed.
I had a few friends from there at college and they were just the right mix of casual and funny if all croatians are the same it could be a splendid time.
See you there!
Oh I need to go to Norway! I'd love to hunt down my relatives. :)

What a delightful post. I love short sweet posts like these, they're my favourite.
Paris is absolutely always on my mind...even before you posted this gorgeous photo. I long to travel there someday♥ But I'm also really dreaming of NYC (which you are lucky enough to live in!!) and California.
xoxoxoxo
Hi Joanna, French reader here ! Is this l'Ile Saint Louis on the second photo ? Right now, I'd love to be in Corsica, in the beautiful village of Bonifacio to be more specific...
P.S : Love your blog !
Oops, I think it's the Opera (I recognize the little black portal across the street)! My mistake...
I would love to go to Koh Samui, Thailand or Sao Paulo, Brazil!
I'm going to South Africa Saturday so I get to live out my wanderlust! Plus it is winter there so getting a break from the 100+ heat we've been having will feel like heaven.
I've just returned home this week from visiting both Norway and Paris, so I'm going to relive my wanderlust through my photos now!
Tokyo - to revisit old haunts and drink whisky with friends
Spain is calling my name. I would love to jet to Sevilla and soak up the hot southern Spain sun next to el Rio Guadalquivir. Ah, I'm there already.
Anywhere but here in Phx, forecast says it will be 117 degree tomorrow. That's just not right!! Really wishing we had a pool right now!
I am dreaming of going to Ireland, Scotland and Wales. My grandfather came over from Wales as an infant... I would love to visit the village my ancestors are from.
Where is that in Norway, does anyone know! I'm planning a trip and NEED to go there!
I love Paris the most, but I'd really like to go to a little town called Hallstatt in Austria. Looking over the lake with a bottle of wine.
YES PLEASE x
Iceland, Maine, and Oman or Saudi Arabia :)
Paris. In a heartbeat. My family went there four years ago, and I'd go back in an instant.
xo

I would love to go to Tuscany - although that picture of Paris is tempting!
after visiting italy, i couldn't imagine going to paris.
after paris, i fell in love with south america...
i can't imagine what's next...
I'm going to El Salvador for a week with my youth group (we leave tonight)! I'm admittedly pretty nervous, but also really excited to meet the Salvadorans, learn more about their history, eat delicious pupusas, and take lots of pictures. If I were to go on another trip, I'd love to go to Greece, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Iceland or back to the UK... Traveling is amazing.
I love those images! I have such wanderlust too.
I would go to Paris, and then visit my old host family from my college study abroad days in Avignon in the south of France.
But first I would go to Jamaica where we're going on our honeymoon in a week! Whoohoo!!
I would love to take my entire family - my husband and baby boy, my parents, my brother's family and sister's family to Gordon Lodge in Wisconsin! We went alone and pre-baby a few years ago and I would love to go back, and share it with everyone.
At the moment I would go to Seattle Washington. I need a place where there's no humidity!
Paris, little town in Croatia, New York :)

This is where I'm at (in my mind!):

When I studied abroad in France, I went full-tilt on l'expérience Française. I had the Amélie haircut and a navy blue wool overcoat that I wore with big Frenchy scarves everyday. The crowning moment of my time there was walking past a beautiful Parisian building just like this one while two trumpet players leaned out of the window playing the Amélie theme song. Priceless!! Perhaps it was even that very building. {swoon!} Thanks for sharing, Joanna! xo
i think id have to say sri lanka :) especially since we are living so close to it right now!
That amazing picture of the fjord view makes me want to visit Norway again! Maybe a Europe adventure is in my future :)
Just Gorgeous!
It is a special post for me! I am a Parisian and I live in Norway since 18 months! I was sure that your first picture was from Norway. This country is so beautiful. Come to see it!
And the funny thing: guess where I will go in vacation this year... SAN FRANCISCO! I am already making notes with your post on SF. I am looking for a nice and cheap place to rent for few days in San Francisco late august to enjoy this city for the first time. Any ideas?
Best from Norway!
I should say Oslo since I am moving there in just over a month but I really do have to admit that I would go to Iceland if I could go anywhere.
I really love the little glimpses of Scandinavia in your posts, please drop by my blog if you are interested in Nordic culure :)
Where in the world would you go?
I would love to be in Vienna right now - the city of my dreams, my heart, my soul. It's so incredibly beautiful there, the architecture is breathtaking. And I like the people there, their sense for old traditions and behaviour and they have a good sense of humour. I wish I could live there. Unfortunatly with a one-year-old, yet unfinished studies and hushand with a large network in Berlin, it's not that easy to move from here to Vienna.
But maybe one day... I keep on dreaming :)

Paris and anywhere in Italy, oh to be going on holiday!
xox
Today I would go (I would return exactly speaking) here:
http://conigliogiallo.blogspot.com/2010/11/cornovaglia.html
Anywhere in Italy, otherwise, somewhere with an amazing beach and a hammock, or somewhere in the mountains with a lake.. similar to the one at the top. Remote.
SOmewhere where there are no people, they are mean :(

Bruges, Belgium!
Edinburgh and then Glasgow.
I visited my sister in Copenhagen years ago, and we took a few days to go to Oslo. I've been dreaming about going back to Norway (and now that I'm employed after a year and a half in grad school, am finally saving!). My plan is to take a boat trip up the coast to Tromsø (inside the Arctic Circle!).
Northern California is on the list, too...and probably much more doable!
I love hearing about where people want to go. I'm not a big traveler, but when I get the bug, it's bad!
Have a good weekend!
mindi
Chile & Brazil!
For the first time ever, Morocoo is at the top of my list!! I crave exotic food, days of lounging and market visits. Do any of you have any (reasonably priced) hotel/resort recommendations?
Iceland! I dream of the day I can go to Iceland. I hope it will happen within the next year or so.
Paris never leaves the list, but I'd also love to go to Sweden, which I've fallen in love with thanks to a number of wonderful blogs by Swedish artists/designers.
I would be in Norway! My dad just got back from visiting where my family is from. Oh how I wish I was able to go to the farm my ancestors grew up on!
I SO want to go to Norway! And to Copenhagen. Did you know that Copenhagen came top in the Happiness index. I want to go over there to see what all the fuss is about! Oh, and to have a Danish pastry or two..

Connecticut, I love it there it's like my second home!
me and my hubby are currently lusting a month long journey around France. Paris, Provence, and the riviera. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.
I want to go to Capri, Italy! I love both photographs..
Finland.... I wish I was in Finland, by the lake, at midnight in July when it never gets dark.
Hei! (As we say in Norway) I´m norwegian and I found you blog while googling Emersonmade (just adore her stuff :) and I was so proud when I saw "Wanderlust". Norway is beautiful. The southern part is ocean and beach, the western part is high mountain and bluegreen fjords. The north i s spectaculere with the northlight in winter and sun all night long in the summer and the east were I live is shopping ;) Have a nice summer where ever you are and keep up this feelgood blog!
The lake is a perfect spot for a romantic date!

Hey, as to the photo credits: I am the girl who took the picture on top! Took it while travelling through Norway this May, it's in Gudvangen. My name is Sarah Schug
http://www.falbrussels.blogspot.com/
Perfect picture of Norway Sarah, congrats!
We're heading to Paris on Saturday for one week there and one week in Ireland. Can't wait! Any suggestions on fashions to pack would be welcome.
Makes me even more excited to head to Paris next week! Only three nights, but I'll take it! Meanwhile, my favorite place in the world... doesn't exist yet. It's my soon-to-be apartment with the Boyf!
I'm seriously packing my bags and heading to Norway right this moment!
Here, I do not really suppose this will have effect.
Goodness, there's so much useful data here!
This can't truly have success, I feel this way.
Undoubtedly, the writer is absolutely right.
Paris is the most incredible I've ever visit in my whole life!
