Many good suggestions to look into. Thanks for these tips! I realised that I have visited 25 of these places. Would like to add both Tibet (can be considered as part of China or as a separate country...) Antarctica, Easter Island and Galapagos for the nature experiences and going outside the ordinary.
Surely there is much more...
Yes, travelling is great....

Ditte, wow 25 of these places was not bad! Now I had to do the maths myself and found that we've visited 16 of the countries... The places you list sound really exciting! I know you've been to Tibet... but the other places? They sound like very exotic destinations. Have you been there, or are there places you would like to visit?

No, Antarctica, Easter Island and Galapagos are on my wish list so far. Maybe I'll get there someday....
Otherwise, I'm satisfied anyway.

Ditte, yes, but you have to dream! Some dreams get the chance to be realised, others remain dreams...
