When people find out how many countries I have visited, they always ask me which place is my favorite.
I find that hard to answer because it's like choosing your favorite child, and my "favorite" varies according to different criteria.
One way to rank a place is based on its natural beauty and landscape. Across my travels, I've found these six places to be the most beautiful.
And, according to data from the Global Tourism Organization, none of these places are or are in the most visited countries this year — so you might avoid some crowds by checking them out this summer.
