To make my life easier and retain attribution of the one who posted, I'm just going to cut and paste from Facebook for now but may do a more elegant presentation later. With this plan you can also FB message these folks to get more info. As I have time, I will scroll back to gather more ports and more recommendations. Please feel free to comment below with your suggestions. This is just a start but I believe we can crowdsource a phenomenal travel guide!
Countries/cities so far in alphabetical order: Bali, Barcelona, China, Costa Rica, Dublin, Greece, Iceland, India, Italy, Portugal, Thailand, Vietnam/Cambodia
BALI
Jody Barnhardt Ubud Bali is basically the arts center so you should for sure visit there. The monkey park is awesome and I love Jimbaran beach!
Jody Barnhardt Idk
how much you are looking to spend on hotels but if you are interested
in luxury hotels let me know because I have a few recommendations!
Briana Alexandria Share everything !!!! :)
Jody Barnhardt So
the amandari was always our go too hotel in Bali. We also liked the
four seasons Jimbaran bay... The Hyatt Nusa dua was also super great.
Stand by for the hotel I stayed at in ubud because it was super cool too
I just need to find the name.
BARCELONA
(Do a day trip to Montserrat?)
Jennifer Ps worth!
Aidan Meehan Do it
Adam J. Graves Take the gondola
Veronica Michelle Waked Yes! It is beautiful!
Amy Hauldren Yes!!
Greyson Nelson Check out Tailors Hostel too in Barcelona, I stayed there for a while and really liked it!
Payton Taylor So worth it! Was one of my favorite places!
CHINA
Sarah Castel And
in Beijing, stay at 365 Inn. It made my experience in Beijing SO much
better. Totally different perspective on China after that.
COSTA RICA
Omar Agüero go
to the Caribbean coast, it is really cool in there, check puerto viejo
and cahuita. You have the rasta culture of costa rica and the vibe is
super chill. From Pacific coast go Playa Tamarindo, Playa Grande, Playa
Santa Teresa. In Nicaragua go to Granada,
Leon, the lake, and Playa San Juan del Sur. In Guatemala go to Antigua
Guatemala, Lake Atlitan, indigenous ruins, etc. You must go to Panama,
go there when you are in the Caribbean coast of CR -- go to Panama City
and to Bocas del Toro. Enjoy Costa Rica hon!
Hannah Ingersoll Bocas del toro in Panana is incredible!!
Baniel Dusi I
would hit up Mai Pais if you are looking to go up north. Its on the
Nicoya peninsula. Tamarindo was also super cool. Jaco was a little bit
of a bust for me, If i had to choose I would say Tamarindo over Jaco,
they're somewhat similar. Quepos was also beauitful, it has an awesome
stretch of beach.
DUBLIN
Jeremy Grove I would go see the Cliffs of Moher
Rachel Speck Christina Tonti Meagan Ashley where did we go
Jennifer Westwood COPPER FACE JACKS
Hannah Larue Generator hostel is great
Austin Ward ^^^^
😁
😁
Austin Ward Rent bikes and go through the Deer Park you can feed them .. they think anything is food 
😂
😂
Jenni Schreiner MJ O'Neills is my absolute favorite place to eat there! I highly recommend the Steak & Guiness Pie! Otherwise, the cliffs are great, Cork is a nice little town, Blarney is close. Number one suggestion is a day trip up to the Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland!
Victor Luftig If you do go to the Cliffs, stop also at Doolin, a great place for music. Phoenix Park in Dublin is the biggest park in Europe--great if you can rent a bicycle there. The exhibit on the poet WB Yeats in the National Library of Ireland has great films and recordings; the bog-preserved ancient bodies in the National Museum across the way are something to see; the statue of Oscar Wilde in Merrion Square Park might be the greatest art work in the country. Dublin is great for food--Queen of Tarts is our favorite place there, but a lot of places are great (you can even get conveyor belt sushi). One popular way to extend your stay is to have your wallet stolen by the friend of a friendly person who buys you a drink in Temple Bar. If you make it out west, Moran's on the Weir is my favorite restaurant in the country. Main thing to do there is talk to people. They are amazing at that. But they are generally appalled by Trump and will want to ask you what's up with that.
GREECE
Kayleigh Corrigan santoriniiiiiiiiiiii
Erin Anderson Corfu! Eat as much as you can.
Sarah Jane McIntyre I highly recommend Santorini but in low season. Summer time is too crowded! But still beautiful!
Isabel Wang Watch
the Santorini sunset from a boat! You'll get unobstructed views instead
of knocking elbows with everybody else jostling for space. Depending on
your budget, it may be a little expensive but you can join a boat tour
that circles around the island and takes you to the volcano, you'll get a
lot of chances for swimming that's not on a crowded beach. :)
Luke Mueller For
Greece I would say to just stay in Athens for a little bit, and then go
out to the islands. The Acropolis is really cool and definitely worth
seeing, but there isn't a whole lot more than that there. I have only
been to Mykonos and definitely agree
with Dean Peggy! When we went, all the SASers stayed at Paraga Beach
Hostel, which is a little outside of the main downtown area. It's on a
really nice beach and has bunch of beach clubs next to it and they also
had a shuttle bus that will bring you to the downtown area.
Sarah Jane McIntyre Santorini
will be very busy in the summer but beautiful. The island of Paros is
calm and beautiful. Athens is pretty cool. Ferries are very easy to get
from island to island
INDIA
ICELAND

Jay Orris We
went there on our way back from our S16 voyage this past May. Make
sure to visit the Blue Lagoon and go for the full package, including the
mud! We rented a car and drove around the shorter loop close to
Reykjavik. The scenery is pretty incredible
and there are some really beautiful lakes and waterfalls to visit. If
you have more time, do the big loop but I think that requires a few days
and staying away from Reykjavik for at least a night. This also might
be whale watching season. We were there in the Spring and I don't think
it was peak season then.
Laura Giuffrida Thanks
Jay! I returned from my trip a few weeks ago, but it was one of the
most amazing places I've ever been. The landscape is so unbelievably
unique... we rented a campervan and were able to travel the entire Ring
Road and drive around the entirety of
the West Fjords in about 8 days. We drove the short Golden Circle loop
too, like you did. The further we drove, the more incredible the scenery
got, it was like we were on another planet half the time. Hopefully I
can make it back there again for a longer trip and experience the
highlands! I'm glad your family was able to go, I should have just
assumed you had been there and asked you immediately! What is your
family up to now, 80 countries? :)
Jeannie Sullivan Munnar
in India is something you may love. It is full of tea plantations and
hiking within it. Also, the highest (in elevation) tea plantation in the
world is right on the outskirts of Munnar and you can hike it up or
take a jeep up.
ITALY
Ellie Behr Florence: fill up is an awesome club and then Acqua al 2 is the best restaurant I've ever been in my life

PORTUGAL
MC Tsoi The West Coast
Paula Michelle Lagos and Porto!
Sam Thomas Porto is definitely on my list! I'm deciding between Sintra and Lagos now!
Paula Michelle Sam Thomas hmm, you can't do all three?? If you go to Lisbon, you can go to Sintra easily
Sam Thomas Paula Michelle
there are so many things I want to do in Sintra so I think I would want
to spend a few days there! And Lagos would be a few days too! So I'm
trying to decide between the two
Paula Michelle Sam Thomas true true- when I was there last month, I did 3 days in Lagos, 3 in Lisbon (day trip to Sinatra), and 3 in Porto. Def do-able!
Louise Ulveland Porto and Sintra!

VIETNAM/CAMBODIA
Sarah Castel I went on Vietnam Backpackers Hao Long Bay trip and it was incredible. They're located in Hanoi and they have a ton of other trips available at their downtown hostel!
Hannah Grossman I did a G adventures tour that I really enjoyed while I was in Australia and I know they have tours all over
Sarah Castel If
you go to Hanoi in Vietnam, stay in Vietnam Backpacker's hostel. It's
awesome! Their Castaways trip to Halong Bay was one of the greatest
highlights of my entire trip.
Greyson Nelson Awesome, thanks for the tip!
Rayne Ashley ^^^^
Vietnam backpackers hostel is the best. Book ahead though, they run out
of space quick. Their ha long bay trip was unreal. So was the hiking
trip to Sapa. Vietnam is probably one of my favorite countries. Feel
free to hit me up if you any questions! Happy to help 🙂
Jeannie Peters Yes!! Hanoi backpackers hostel! I think it has downtown in the name! So fun!
Valerie Quirk Rent
a motorcycle to tour around the countryside outside of Hanoi. Sapa and
surrounding area is gorgeous and seeing it via bike is so much better
than a bus! Bryce and I did about a weeklong tour if you have any questions on that/ SE Asia in general
Sarah Castel y e s. I have some friends who did this and they loved it
