Iceland.

It has the natural beauty and lots to do. Scuba diving, whale watching, blue lagoon, geysers, etc. The food is also wonderful (even the street food). The weather is also very nice as it is not too cold nor hot.

Thanks for the suggestion bgritzut, I've never considered Iceland and I probably should. I've no doubt that it is beautiful, what are some of the things you do there when visiting?

I think its the most underrated travel destinations.

If you're into animals, you can go puffin and whale watching.

If you like natural landscape there's gullfoss falls, geysirs. Also, the ridge separating the North American tectonic plate and Mid-Atlantic plate, you can go scuba diving in the waters that separate it.

Iceland has great water so to speak, so a lot of people go to the swimming pools and the geothermal pool blue lagoon is a big attraction. Water is crystal clear wherever you go, so they always make good pictures.

Also, food is amazing. Great seafood, and the most popular restaurant is a hot-dog stand. You can Google it and Bill Clinton has even stopped by to eat there.

If you're into technology, you can tour their geothermal plant. Iceland is 99% powered by renewable energy so it's pretty neat to get to walk around their plant.

There is literally tons to do in Iceland and I'm sure you'll have a great time.

Thank you for that, it sounds nice. There is nothing like swimming in a crystal clear lagoon to make you feel as though you are in paradise. Also, food is a HUGE motivator for me. If there is one person that should be able to be trusted with a hotdog endorsement, it's Bill Clinton.
