To broaden your view, go to countries with a totally different culture.

One of my most impressive travels led me to Kashmir & Ladakh (Northern India). Although next to each other, there were many extreme contrasts (Kashmir: Muslim population, rather "green" - at least in Srinagar where we stayed; Ladakh: Buddhist population, very meager landscape, nearly a moonscape). You might have to check the current political situation to see if it safe to go there.

When I visited Thailand, it literally changed my point of view: With a size of 1.7m, I'm a bit smaller than the average german, so I'm used to looking up to other people. In Thailand, I stood above the crowd - a very strange and unfamiliar feeling for me ...

Around the Mediterranean Sea, there are lots of historic places, e.g. the only remaining one of the ancient seven wonders of the world - the Pyramids.
