I am lucky and have been able to travel around this wonderful planet a great deal. Many times I have stood overlooking a river, or on the pavement of some great city, or watching the sunset on a beach and have wished I had someone to share it with.

Where is the most romantic place you have been alone and perhaps one day you will take your newly found partner to?

For me - it is hard to say, but I have two places where she and I will certainly go:

1. I once sat on a beach in Northland, New Zealand and watched the sun drop with the waves laping on the shore and the whole sky went ruby red. I had a small campfire going and a cold glass of wine - that was a deep heartfelt sigh that I could not share it.

2. Sat in the Nairobi National Park as evening came, listening to the animals and birds and again the sun sinking. A cold G&T in hand and all the hairs on my neck standing up due to the wonderful experience of listening to the wild heart of Africa.

Can't wait to read yours.

My work takes me to the western coast states often. The two places I have been to alone that I really wished I'd had someone to share it with were:

Multnomah Falls, Oregon
Santa Cruz, California.

There are other places in my territory that I know would be great with someone special (like numerous wineries, Yosemite National Park), but I've been avoiding them as I really would like to visit them for the first time with someone special.

There are many beautiful places in this country, but if need be, I can make the picnic table on my deck the most romantic place in the world.

Going to Normandy,France(early june); staying in the country side in an old farm house,fixed up inside as a house (so beautiful,and romantic). Having nightly fires, the windows open,the sheer white curtains flowing with the wind,candles,home cooked meals provided by "us," going down to the local market that provides fresh produce. There was a garden out back filled with herbs we used to cook with our meals.Taking long walks on the old rock dirt roads,petting the horses along the way and picking flowers as well . Seeing the Omaha,and Utah beaches,(I brought sand back,as it touched my heart to be there where so many risked their lives for our country).Just being around a different culture was amazing. Everything was such a rich green,and the air was refreshing.

I have to agree on the Northland, New Zealand spot. It rocks, and is a great choice for an exceptional romantic place on the planet. Nice suggestion Rob!

Santa Cruz is also excellent, particularly at sunrise or sunset. Surf's up dude (or dudette)!

I've not been to the other spots, and will have to check them out.

I guess I'll add anywhere in the countryside to view the stars with a clear sky. The Salsbury plains worked well, but the last time I visited there, you could still touch the stones at Stonehenge. A quick look at a website about astronomy will help you locate various constellations or planets, and makes for something to point out to your partner.

One of the most wonderful places I have been is a small town in Germany called Auw on Der Kill.. It literally translates into Auw on the Kill river. It was the most wonderful place I had ever seen. The river rolled slowly under a stone bridge that had been there longer then America had stood. The places where they had posted guards had indentions worn into the rock from countless years of hand and knees leaning into the rock. As I stood there and placed my hands in the correct spots and leaned my knee into it I felt the most incredible feeling of peace and history wash over me. I would have liked to have someone there who could have understood what I was feeling, who could feel the sense of awe of that moment. The connection between times.
Then again, maybe I am glad I didn't have the wrong person who could have spoiled it there. I do know someday when I have found someone, I think I'll take them there and let them feel the awe that comes from being with the past.

Fire waters in Rhode Island. Ever go? It's absolutely beautiful. Was with ex- boyfriend at the time and we were arguing over something stupid (as usual) and inside I was hurting so much because it was so romantic yet I felt so alone and wished that I had someone to share it with. This could actually be another topic: Have you ever been somewhere romantic but you are with someone that you don't want to be with. That can be lonlier than being alone.

But the Southland of NZ is so much prettier...

Hi there,

I know that feeling all too well. How about sitting outside a ger (felt tent similar to Russian yurts) on the shore of Lake Khuvsgul, northern Mongolia after a few days of working with the most hospitable, self-confident, competent women in the world, who love their nomadic lives and contribute generously to their extended families and communities? Water, moonlight and brilliant stars, mountains, pure air - magic.

Or high in the Preseli hills of South Wales as the sun sets towards the Irish Sea, surrounded by purple heather and golden broom. Magic too.

Or a deserted beach on Carriacou, a small island off Grenada after a day of working with the fishing community in the warm, sunlit waters.

Yes, it would be neat to post a map and pictures of each. Neater still to share them.

And then there is Ireland, where I go every year (expect next year when I'll be in Colombia), sometimes taking a small group, always informal. I love introducing North Americans to history and prehistory that are omnipresent and everpresent. But it would be nice to share some of this in a more romantic way. Oh well, some time!

Happy travels to all, Loving Celt
