I’d go for the US/Canadian border, mostly because this is something you really want to do in summer time! Not one of your bullet points but I promise these will be 2 highlights: Yellowstone NP and whale watching from Anacortes, WA, or from Vancouver Island. PS the Baltic states are Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania ;) That would be cheaper than US/Canada, the Scandinavian countries you’ve listed won’t be any cheaper!

In reply to Wai. I've been to Shanghai and Beijing - loved them both! I definitely want to go back and explore more of China some time, but not sure 2017 will be the year.

China! Cheap, great food, culturally diverse and totally different to your suggestions!

In reply to Helen. I know right! So many decisions!

Being optimistic…based purely on the value of the pound North America may burn a hole in your pockets this year (sadly) .Actually, as you may know, lot of currencies are pegs to the dollar, so..( don’t mention the Euro). In Colombia I wished I went to the coffee area ( too much in a rush) and it must be safer now as well ( and the only time I got thanked for visiting a country). I would advocate for Chile -as it’s avoided a lot for costs, , for its contrasting landscapes easily reached from Santiago.Although I found it harder to be veggie there than anywhere else in South America ( Lima is so easy for this). Finland with its lakes I found more fascinating than Norway -and come on, who can resist a sauna?!

North America is amazing (the places we went to!) and I’d love to go back to Canada. All good choices! Decisions…decisions…decisions!

In reply to Charlie Marchant. Yes! My husband and I have done two longish trips in South America. The first was in 2005, when we went to Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and part of Bolivia. The second time was in 2010, when we went to Chile, Argentina and Uruguay. We still want to go back sometime soonish to finish off Bolivia and also travel around Brazil. If you like hiking and the mountains, Chile and Argentina have fantastic landscapes. Come prepared to battle the elements though. Peru also has amazing mountains, in addition to historical and architectural sights and a vibrant indigenous culture. It's one of my favourite countries of all time. Colombia and Ecuador are great too, though. I recommend them all!

Definitly South America. We did a very similar route to that and had the most amazing travel experiences ever. Fly out from Santa Cruz though, it’s just as cheap and Bolivia is awesome!

You should travel to eagle nest trail in Poland and hike. Start from Sanctuary Jasna Góra in Częstochowa, end on Wawel Castle in Kraków.
