Speaking of humor, this is what made the book more enjoyable for me. See how humorous, for instance, the rules were. I'm a big fan of humor.

Chasing the Icelandic Northern Lights was my favorite mission. It's also something I'd love to see myself.

What about you?
I agree! I definitely want to see the Northern Lights one day in person. I love how one of the natives told the main character to enjoy the natural formations he saw in the moment, because the land changes frequently. It was amusing when the main character called it "Madam Borealis".

I like when they travel from Tokyo to Niigata. I love to cycle, and to visit Japan overland like that would just be the absolute dream.

I think the Vietnamese one. It was so fun before Rachel's call in my opinion.

I think Iceland and Machu Picchu. I really want to do both myself now, even tried to convince my S/O to want to try Puffin with me... But he looked the up and they're too cute.

I have always wanted to see the Northern Lights, but my favorite Man Mission was their trip to Spain. I loved the relaxed atmosphere and no cell phones in the restaurant—people were enjoying each other’s company.

Last night I rewatched the movie City Slickers after many years and couldn't help thinking about it as a Man Mission.
Ciao :)

My favorite was when they went to Japan. The image of the woman covering her child's eyes as they walked through the airport in their bike-wear was hilarious.

I loved the Man Mission in New Zealand. It set the foundation for the proceeding Man Mission plus I loved the idea of hiking on a jungle in a foreign country.

I loved all man mission escapades. I would love to experience chasing the Icelandic lights. I also love animals; so their South African man mission was also particularly interesting for me. I will love to go on a safari soon. The terror that gripped the guys when they were confronted by that massive elephant and the amount of courage they exhibited in the face of terror was intriguing for me.

My favorite was definitely the trip to the Andaman Sea,Thailand, where they got to use a catamaran with a crew and cook. That sounds like my kind of vacation!
