Have thought of visiting Australia but wonder if it is too much like home, like going halfway around the world to visit California or Canada. I know it will be different, but wonder if it's worth the time/money when I could go to other places more unique to home.
Fwiw I'm a complete noob traveler, only been to Greece and the islands.
Would love to visit Japan, all the Scandinavian countries...China...Peru...Argentina...Pacific Islands...UAE...Spain...France...Italy...Cuba...Egypt...Morrocco...Lebanon...Thailand...maybe even Alabama one day if we're going 3rd world countries.
