Feel the drama at the Colosseum, gaze in awe at the Sistine Chapel ceiling, and feel small under the vast dome of the Pantheon; all with your trusted travel companion.

Lonely Planet writer Duncan Garwood describes why he loves Rome. "As much as its obvious beauty, what I love about Rome are its details: the cobbled lanes and hidden corners, the towering pine trees and vivid colours, the aroma of freshly ground coffee wafting out of cafes. the city's streets and piazzaz are an endless source of entertainment to me, even after almost two decades of living here, and I still get a kick out of seeing places I read about as a schoolkid. I'm also a big fan of roman cuisine, and there's little I love more than a long lunch at a favourite trattoria."

Lonely Planet writer Anthony Ham describes why he loves Mauritius, Reunion & Seychelles. "I'm with mark twain: Mauritius may have been the model for heaven. The first time I laid eyes on the place, I fell in love with the beaches, but I also love the melting-pot cultural mix, beautiful forests and wildlife, and the opportunities for hiking the mountainous interior, all on one small island. Rodrigues, with its refreshingly retro lack of development, is another favourite - a real Mauritius-as-it-once-was experience. and the Seychelles, even down to its name, carries echoes of luxury and superb natural beauty, its islands dropped like pearls into a remote, tropical corner of the Indianan ocean."

Lonely Planet writer Regis St Louis describes why he loves Maine & Acadia National Park. "It's hard not to fall for Maine. What other state has so much going for it, with its gorgeous shorelines, wilderness-filled interior and jagged mountains stretching to the horizon? There's also the food and drink scene, with its focus on local, sustainable and organic. I love that Maine straddles two worlds: old fashioned main streets where people still stroll and cutting-edge culture that's helping to revitalize some of its sleepy small towns. The people, though, are the state's greatest treasure - a tough lot who are willing to weather those long winters to live in this place of such natural riches."

Lonely Planet writer Gregor Clark describes why he loves New England. "My fondness for New England is deeply rooted in childhood memories - skating on frozen Connecticut ponds and seeing my first shooting star in Vermont's Green Mountains. Decades later, New England's natural beauty still moves me: fireflies on a June evening; Aquinnah and Acadia's cliff-fringed beaches; the brilliance of maples, birches and cranberry bogs in fall; fresh snow clinging to February branches, and the sudden explosion of greenery after each long winter. I also love New England's cultural vibrancy, its art scene, historical treasures, organic farms, dynamic cities, progressive politics and Red Sox games at Fenway Park."

Lonely Planet writer Alison Bing describes why she loves San Francisco. "On my way from Hong Kong to New York, I stopped in San Francisco for a day. I walked up Grant Ave to Waverly Pl, just as temple services were starting - the fog was scented with incense and roast duck. I felt the magnetic pull to City Lights, and in the nonfiction cellar, I noticed a sign painted by a 1920s cult: "I am the door". It's true. San Francisco is the threshold between east and west, body and soul, fact and fiction. That was more than 20 years ago. I'm still here. Now it's your turn to open that door, and find yourself in San Francisco."

I've shared turtle eggs with Meriam on Erub island at the edges of the beautiful Torres Strait, and I've sighted rare rock-wallaby in the heart of the Pilbara alongside Martu aboriginal rangers. I do not own this land, but it is part of me."
