10 most peaceful places on earth…

Somewhere between being squished in between a stranger’s sweaty armpit, sliding on a pile of vomit and having a random crazy mutter to himself on my packed train home last night, I decided that I needed a looooooonnnggg holiday. Somewhere where there are no sirens, no crowds, no smog and most importantly, no random crazies. Imagine my surprise when I got home to find Tripadvisor (aka my life advisor) had published their ‘10 most peaceful places on earth list’. A sign? I think so! Would you add any destination to this list?

1. Jungfrau Region, Switzerland

    These places are so heavenly. I kept gasping as I scrolled down.

    I would add some places in Indonesia like Bali, Lombok, and Sulawesi. Hmmm you got me thinking about vacationing, girl!

    I Have been to the south Island New Zealand (& North) it was gorgeous and so worth a visit. Was there in July and we went skiing and travelled in a camper van - so much fun!!!

    Hmmm, I'd pick destination #5, followed closely by #6. Nothing on the side of a mountain though. :)

    Definitely a great list! I am sure there are some more beach locations that should be added-maybe the Maldives?! Never been, but I am sure they are pretty peaceful!

    How beautiful! I would happily travel to any of these places.

    Just today we posted pictures of the beaches in the Hamptons - not so quiet in the heart of the summer, but so beautiful and tranquil in the weeks leading up to Memorial Day! That's our "peaceful place."

    Thanks for visiting us!

    The Loire Valley...just what I could do with right now. Or I'd go back to the Sahara desert - the most peaceful place I've been to so far. xo

    PS: How's the weather on your side of the river? ;-D

    This looks so divine. I've been to a few of these places, but the one place I really really want to visit is French Polynesia. Too bad it's so darn expensive... sigh.

    I knew I loved your blog but now I love it even more. I laughed when you said Trip Advisor was your life advisor - I can relate! I am heading to Tuscany on Saturday - I think that sitting there on a warm evening, enjoying a great glass of wine, overlooking the rolling Tuscan landscape, will be pretty peaceful - at least after my kids are asleep! Thanks for such a nice post!

    These places are beautiful. I would add Vieques, Puerto Rico to the list. It's off the coast of the main island and rarely visited, which makes for peaceful beaches (if you know where to go). So gorgeous.
