if you had infinite travel money where would you go?

does infinite travel money mean I can pick multiple places? if so:

1) europe!!! I want to finally visit my best friend in her home country and hang out irl (leaping into her arms) T_T I also really want to go to some of the museums/heritage sites they have there omg there’s so much historical clothing and architecture notes I want to be able to to jot down for projects that are hard to access remotely... AND TRAINS!!! (even bad ones haha) and generally being able to get idea of how places look+landscapes+ etc and there are many people that i’d love to be able to talk to. (i’d probably need to land a job that would let me do such, for certain interviews, though) I’m very interested in youth culture, current political activists, oral history and also listening to elderly folks talk about the past/their memories, in particular. I know I didn’t pick one country but I want to go all over, you see.... west & east. there are both places I want to go that are a lot more “touristy” and places that aren’t. lot of flat out wilderness I want to see too. I want to absorb everything I can & write an extensive travelogue.

2) china, japan, mongolia, and vietnam. I have all the same reasons as above & more. particularly want to visit hokkaido & osaka for japan, need to do more research when it comes to places in china but generally i’d like to see lots of it... and i’ve wanted to go to vietnam for a while... would love to see hcmc and hanoi, and some of the abandoned waterparks, though the humidity would probably kill me dead, LOL.. aaaand I would kill to be able to go to ulaanbaatar. hopefully want to be able to talk to as many old people as I can for all of these & see youth culture everywhere etc etc. and I’m very interested in being able to talk to mongolians living outside of mongolia, too! especially in japan.

3) iceland, which yes, is a part of europe, but since it’s a separate island and very far away from everything else, i’m listing it separately. would love to go here with my best friend together someday. I want to see the landscapes and northern lights!!

4) appalachia and the american southwest. (my reasons are getting shorter because I don’t want to be redundant but assume everything is the same as the others.)

this isn’t everything and there’s lots of other places i’d love to see too, but these are the main ones ^^;

one thing I’d really like to do everywhere in lots of different places is record interviews with middle aged people in bars but at the same time I don’t think i’m a type of person who would fare well around drunk men AHAHAHA.... >__< that would be so fun though
