My top 5 most amazing places for scenery: Halong Bay in Vietnam, The Piedra Monastery in Spain, Machu Picchu in Peru, The Grand Canyon in the US, and the Andes Mountains in South America.
For people, Ireland couldn't be beat. No one else even came close and I've rarely experienced rudeness across the board so I'm not really jaded. Irish people are just delightful and I loved it there like no other country.
For food, Turkish, Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, French&Italian of course

Food: US, Cuba, Netherlands (crepes!), England and Turks and Caicos
People: Netherlands, Cuba, Bahamas, Canada, US
Natural beauty: Turks and Caicos, Bahamas (not Nassau), Honduras, US and Canada
History: UK, Belgium, Netherlands, France and Cuba
Relaxing: Turks and Caicos, USVI, Netherlands, Bahamas and Roatan (Honduras)
Food: The Netherlands. I love the country, but the food is just garbage, I'm sorry. I hate Korean food as well.
Natural beauty: Again the Netherlands, and Belgium. Nature is just not their forte.
Relaxing: Hong Kong and Korea. Two of the most hectic places on earth. Just awful.
History: You can't measure other countries' history.
People: I'm usually not too bothered by locals (except the ones in my own country, they make me want to go berserk ).
Then the best top 5s.
Food: Japan. Hands down. I love Japanese food. The sweets are awesome too.
Natural beauty: Most countries have some beautiful nature (apart from unusually flat or tiny ones). My vote goes to Austria.
Relaxing: Austria is quite relaxing. The Netherlands and Sweden are also really cozy in general, if you avoid the touristic centre of Amsterdam. I hate beaches so I'd never feel at ease there.
History: In terms of historical buildings and preservation, Italy easily blows everyone else out of water.
People: Sweden and Japan. I find the Swedes extremely friendly (and hot, especially the guys), and Japanese people just make you feel super respected, especially when you tell them that you're Taiwanese.
