Based on experience, where has your favorite place been? I mean the place outdoors that makes you feel the most blissful due to its nature. Personally, I love really remote places and think that the most tranquil and awesome place that I've been has either been the Channel Islands or more remote spots of Grand Teton National Park. Really any place where I can't hear or see any signs of other humans is amazing to me.
Oh, bonus question: What outdoors places would you most like to go to?
Personally, I'd absolutely love to go backpacking in the Daintree Rainforest, Madagascan Rainforest, Sky Islands (in southern Arizona), Amazon Rainforest, and Himalayas.
What about you all?

I love the swampland and forest I live on. It's so beautiful where I live :) it's just awesome. In the winter all of the trees covered in snow, the field covered in a layer of snow. Get to see plenty of wildlife too :) sometimes I get to see the coyotes come up to the pond in my backyard, they're a huge pack! At least 15 animals in the pack. Lots of deer and other animals too :)
I'd love to travel away from here because of memories, perhaps I'll go to the Mojave desert!

Ooooh I've been to the Mojave desert; awesome place! If you do go, I have a recommendation for you. Go to Mojave National Preserve, and go to the portion of the park with the highest density of Joshua trees in the world (it's pretty figure to figure out how to get there exactly via web search). The trial I believe is called Teutonia peak, and the scenery is absolutely amazing. The landscape looks like something directly out of a Dr. Seuss story due to all the Joshua trees. If you go there, I heard that the Kelso Dunes are also pretty awesome, although I didn't visit there myself. Oh, and there's one small settlement on the edge of the preserve called Nipton, CA. It has only one hotel - go camping instead, DO NOT stay at Nipton's Trading Post, it's quite a dirty and grimy place lol.

Inside a cabin or smaller house, can be near other houses, in a heavily forested area in the late spring/summer during a day of rain where everything is green and low hanging and all the little coves everywhere offer new textures and shades to look at. Bonus points if there's a thunderstorm.
On a porch in the country in the late summer watching wind blow over the grain into the evening when the crickets come out as the wind stops.

Being a couple miles away from land out on the ocean, I love it so much. It's just idk, something so awesome about it I can't put it in to words unfortunately. Even just being on the beach my usual "will someone please kill me," moods seem to disappear. In fact, my ultimate dream would be for me and kitty to be stranded on an island of our very own. I'd be content with a Wilson!

Favorite place? About 100 feet under the crystal clear water in the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary. Best dive trip ever, and not too expensive. Or the (artificial) wreck of the Spiegel Grove off Key Largo, though I'd like to get a technical certification and do that one again on a longer decompression dive. The reefs are nice, too. Pennekamp State Park and Long Key are great for camping, the camp sites at Long Key are oceanside. You can hear the highway but otherwise it's paradise.
This spring I also failed, yet again, to hike the Appalachian Trail, but I'll do it some day. I'd like to go out West but haven't since a family trip back in the 90s. I do like the Appalachians though.

The mountains around my family's cabin. But mountains in general are good. Winter or summer, it's equally beautiful to me.
I'd love to walk in Scotland, Wales, Ireland (again), the Pyrenees, the Alps and probably several other places. The border states in the US seem beautiful too, but that's just based off McCarthy novels and those scenes from Breaking Bad where they are out in the desert and you can see the mountains in the background.

Strangely, I fucking love taking the bus. It's amazing when it's not packed.

A forest and/or grassy area in the summer-time, the temperature about 25 (Celsius) with a soft wind, a bench and a book :) ah, paradise.
