I am set on going to Sydney for 5 days next April but I’m torn between Hobart and Perth for the five days afterwards. Both have the abundance of outdoor activities nearby I absolutely crave, hotel and flight prices seem outright comparable. I am kinda leaning towards Perth because it has a bigger food scene but Tasmania looks absolutely spectacular, Anyone been to both cities? Which one would you visit first?

JFC this country is so fucking stupid.

Places like Vancouver, Rio, Sydney, San Fracisco, Cape Town etc are cities renown for their stunning natural scenery. What are some lesser known ones? I'm talking about places like Tucson (I was genuinely shocked how gorgeous its surroundings were), Albuquerque (ditto), Taipei (was definitely not expecting those mountains and cool mountain towns just outside the city), Muscat (now my favorite city in the middle east), cities that go under the radar.

Got two weeks coming up next April, both places have good food up the wazoo that I will have no trouble devouring, beautiful nature and too many to list cultural and historical sites that are right up my alley, so I'm torn. I have about a 10k to 15k budget for the trip.

I guess it will boil down to which country is more "accessible" in terms of mass transit which will probably be Sri Lanka and its rail system, but then again...Nepal has the Himalayas I've always wanted to see in person, anyone travel to both? Which country would you visit first?
