Well, what differentiates for example Switzerland to Austria? They sound incredibly similar to me, except that Switzerland is a lot more expensive.

Switzerland is not particularly interesting either, but it does seem a lot more mountainous, I bet there are some beautiful sceneries there. That said, I'd rather explore France, Germany, Czechia, Hungary, Italy first before going to Switzerland

I'm open to travel in most of the world. Some exceptions would be countries with unstable governments such as Somalia, Burkina Faso, Central Africa Republic, Congo (DRC), North Korea, Syria, Iraq.
Or countries with religious fanaticism such as Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Israel, or Algeria.

There's no place I don't want to visit.
Relatively speaking, I don't have the urge to visit Canada (already been there though), Korea, Poland etc.

Northern Iraq (Kurdistan) is relatively safe, despite being rather close to the Islamic State. The Kurdish and Iraqi forces keep it really tight and secure. Makes me think of this LOTR quote by Pippin: "The closer we are to danger, the farther we are from harm" - I believe this applies to to Kurdistan Iraq. You don't ever hear of terrorist bombings and the likes there. Although the quality of life isn't the best there, its cities are still much safer than Rio Di Janeiro and many other Latin American cities.

Israel has religious fanaticism? I mean, Israel is rather liberal for Middle Eastern standards. Tel Aviv has even been called the "Middle Eastern gay capital". Maybe you meant Palestine?

Sounds about right. Pretty much ditto for me, except for me ... replace Ghana with South Africa.

Yeah I've already been to SA so that's why I didn't put it down. Ghana just because I know a guy living there and apparently it has a way lower crime rate and HIV rate than the rest of Africa. So maybe...
