I'm torn between the following:

  1. Iceland
  2. Japan
  3. Canada

I've always wanted to go to all three because they all seem great. They'd be expensive for me to go to. I think if I had to pick one it would be Japan because there's so much to see and do, and the culture is gorgeous.

Go to Iceland now. We're at solar maximum, best chance to see Auroras.

Iceland, need to be scouting regions far from the nukes.

It's easy to avoid the nukes ... just don't go anywhere near big cities or military locations ... it's the radiation and nuclear fallout you have to worry about ... so it's best to head to the southern hemisphere and go to places like New Zealand instead.

I just came back from Japan and gotta say it is definitely worth a long visit. The 2 weeks would even be a tad short, but still a great opportunity. Food is not expensive so you dont "save" a lot on it in this thought experiment, but hotels, especially during sakura time right now, would be a big one. And well, just getting a chance to experience Japanese culture, especially coming from "rude western countries" is pretty great. Definitely gonna go back there.

My first choice would definitely be Iceland, too! Canada probably second :)

If I ever had the chance to go somewhere all expenses paid .... I'd make sure it was warm and included a beach by the ocean
