My favorite island is the South Island of New Zealand - glaciers, rain forests, fjords, waterfalls, turquoise lakes, vibrant green hills, and superb hiking. If you've seen the north of Norway, New Zealand's South Island is Norway upside down

I loved this podcast, guys! The video coverage added so much to the enjoyment. I feel like I just spent time with you there over my first cuppa coffee here! Iden, your insert video about it "being French," was hilarious! I have felt that exact way during travel to certain countries, myself! Though I'm enjoying the beautiful snowy mountains of Colorado, the sunshine where you are looked mighty nice! Safe Travels!

I'm so glad you liked the new format. I'll let Iden know.

I haven’t been to many islands but I have been to Australia and I loved it!

Salt Spring Island in the Canadian Gulf Islands. It’s a beautiful quirky place and I love it there. It requires a ferry to arrive and it’s as quiet as you want it to be.

It sure is Tracy! My vote is going for its neighbour Galiano Island though. Both gorgeous (and quirky) places! :)

We have friends that live part time on Salt Spring so we’ve always headed there. I would love to broaden my horizons and head to Galiano

I like the out islands of the Bahamas and have been to Eleuthera, Harbour Island, Cat Island and Long Island. They're not overrun with tourists and are low key. I have never been to Nassau except to make flight connections at the airport. I've see the huge Atlantis resort from the plane and it's definitely not my cup of tea.

My favorite island is Maui. We have made lifelong friends there and agonized when the fire destroyed Lahaina. Probably will not make the trip again, but we created a lifetime of fun and great memories while enjoying the amazing beauty of the Valley Isle.

My favourite—where, alas, you may also want a bit of French—is a tiny island called Terre-de-Haut. It’s a short ferry ride from the larger Caribbean island of Guadeloupe. The island has the most wonderful community, gorgeous little beaches, and truly great food. You can also easily get around without a car.

Too many to just pick one, so I'll pick 2. Kauai and Curacao are hard to beat.
