Give me a swamp, forest, and especially a mountain any day. Although I like a good swim every now and then I prefer something wild over a beach.

My skin only goes from white to red to white, so spending a day lounging on the beach isn't terribly fun for me, though sitting at a cafe near the beach is something I quite enjoy. Back to the mountains - love the views, the cooler weather, that I don't look out of place if I'm not stripped down to the bare essentials :-) Even though I'm not outdoorsy, I'm will to put up with a long hike to be rewarded with beautiful scenery.

Why? I'm a Canadian living in Vancouver with mountains everywhere. Love the snow, love lakes, love hiking and biking - BUT most importantly, prefer the crisp fresh mountain air over the salty smell of sea water! Okay - I love the beach too ;-) Mountains all the way!

And for the same reasons you mentioned: peace, silence, wilderness, strong emotions. Over the last years, I've been less and less to the beach. I mostly like the sea in winter and in spring, without the huge and noisy crowds. And most of times, I go to the sea for scuba diving. So I'm staying a lot underwater and very little on the beach... Switzerland holds a special place in my heart, and so do the Dolomites. Then, there are the Andes, and the mountains in Nepal. A totally different experience. So, when are you coming for a hike in the Alps? Cheers, Simon www.wild-about-travel.com Mountains, definitely! And for the same reasons you mentioned: peace, silence, wilderness, strong emotions.
