"Buzios, is/was the best NYE I've sent in my entire life. You ask me why: the weather, the inexpensive hotel/pousada, the beach at night, especially at midnight when all locals - I mean thousands of people, traditionally wearing all-white or yellow clothing, stepping over seven waves and throwing the long-stem white lily in the water for good luck, and after that roaming the island on a lovely parade drinking, laughing, singing and listening to loud music until dawn." - Trippy member David Nader

2. Paris, France

"Edinburgh! Even though it's so close to home for me (England) I have never been and the Hogmany event they have for New Years seems pretty legendary!" - Trippy member Rebecca Wood of New Zealand

"The biggest one on my bucket list is probably Reykjavik. The constant fireworks is supposed to be epic (do a YouTube search and see for yourself). I love that country, and I really want to go back and experience NYE there." - Trippy member Steve Gray of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

10. A Remote Jungle Somewhere in Latin America

"It used to be the international date line "two for one." I believe some companies still do it. It's where you celebrate at some place on the west side of the date line, and then hop on a plane to celebrate on the other side of the date line. Now, it's probably some remote place in a jungle in Latin America on a boat, or a house rented with friends, with good wine, and a bunch of fireworks." - Trippy members Jacey & Scott Mahaffy of Fort Collins, Colorado
