Depending on how long you want to travel, you can either combine these in an awesome multi-stop adventure or stay for longer in the same country or region to really get a feel for the local culture.
Take a look below at our suggestions, and start dreaming! Oh and remember, the list is in completely random order - we really didn't want to fight over what should be number one.
