7 heaven. Where in the world (would you visit)?

Where in the world would you visit if you could? I have a friend who has visited over 100 countries. At the expense of experiencing a marriage and raising kids I could not do that realistically. Yet, the world is our oyster, or as Tony Montana said 'The world is ours'. We need steel balls or to be slightly crazy to travel to some places. Anyway no mention of the C word. If you could, where would you visit?

Soon I'll be going to;
Southern China, Kunming region
Tibet
Bhutan
Mongolia
South East of USA - Miami, to Memphis
Kazakhstan and surrounding countries.
Indonesia - Mentawai Islands, South West of Sumatra

That's my seven wonders. What are yours?

Lakes region of Africa (Nearly had a job out of Rhodesia* a few years back.)
Tanzania (when I was very young, these were still being referred to by family members as Zanzibar* and Tanganyika*
Namibia
Kenya

Western pacific- Satisfy my desire to look at and explore whatever still remains of the Pacific Theatre of WWII

South/central America. I have a colleague who has a strange commuting lifestyle, lives in Medellin, and loves it.
India, south/east, and West Bengal/Calcutta

Not forgetting Japan!
I'd like to take a job with one of the local outfits, live/work there. I enjoy travel, but I've had more rewarding visits when it's been associated with temporary deployments. Someone else is funding my travel, and there is more community, even for a bit of a solitary** person like me.

*old names hang around for a while until those generations are gone.
**probably because I'm not so PC. I'd likely get shown the door in a few places, too.

A great list!

Southern China, Kunming region
Tibet
Bhutan
Mongolia
South East of USA - Miami, to Memphis
Kazakhstan and surrounding countries.
Indonesia - Mentawai Islands, South West of Sumatra

I agree with Tibet and Kazakhstan! I lived in Mongolia for almost 3 years, it's wow, but nothing comparing to Tibet. The places you want to visit are actually on the fringes of Tibet in western Sichuan, north western Yunnan and southern Qinghai. I visited numerous times and nothing came close to those experiences. Those are the places you must go.

Simply the most spiritual areas in the world. Harsh mountain wilderness, lovely locals, landscapes out of this world, monasteries, chants - some treks left me in tears, self discovery, and some amazing experiences like staying with a friend monk in his family house, from which this photo below was taken. If you need any tips for any of those places, get in touch. I have multiple videos, done treks, rode bicycle through the Tibetan plateau and did a motorbike trip through Western Sichuan.

Skip Kunming (much better venture north, Lijiang -> Shangrli La -> Yubeng etc), skip Bhutan (only can get there on an expensive tour) and skip Tibet proper (also tour only).

And in Mongolia - I worked and bought 4 apartments, which I rent with 25% yield.
