I’m looking for a new travel destination, and I need your help.
Now, in a perfect word, I’d board my own Austin Powers-esque 747 and tell the captain to take me someplace where:
there’s enough people to be convenient and friendly, but not enough to be crowded

I can eat all sorts of weird-but-tasty foods
volcanoes rumble and geysers splash
the scenery never stops boggling my mind
I can enjoy a few bizarre activities
there’s enough city life for the nighttime hours to be as fun as the day
I can explore vast caves
At least several times per day, I turn to my wife and say “Did I really just see that?”

I’ve done a little of my own homework. Iceland is full of geothermal and glacial playgrounds, not to mention a Nordic smorgasbord of whacky foods. Japan, to a westerner, is frankly the land of WTF?, so I could really see that as an option. I’m not sure there’s enough isolated rural feel to slake my thirst for solitude, but I’m still willing to consider it.
So, my friends … where should I go next?

Belize

Costa Rica
Mexico
New Zealand
We’d prefer to avoid Europe unless you can make a really [...]
