My top 3 travel destinations

I always keep this list. It's my "If everything I try in life fails then this is where I'm traveling" list.

1. Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Turkey (listing 5 countries is not cheating, I'll tell you why) - I want to visit all of these places for many reasons. Plus they are all really close together so that's why I'm counting it as one "place".
1. Israel - I'm Jewish and what Jew doesn't want to go to Israel. Ok I know a few who don't but moving on....it's got great beaches, the Dead Sea, the Wailing Wall, numerous Jewish and Holocaust museums and thousands and thousands of years of history. Plus hot men.
2. Lebanon - Just because I'm Jewish doesn't mean I don't like Arabs or Muslims or those who are against Israel. In fact I don't like many of the tactics or policies Israel holds near and dear to its heart. That's besides the point... I'm very interested in women's rights and women in Islam. I'm a feminist and believe in equal rights for all beings but I realize there are certain cultural sensitivities, histories and beliefs around Islam and Muslim culture that many men and many women stand by.
3. Syria - Damascus is the Paris of the Middle East. Nuff said.
4. Jordan - Petra. Culture. Food. Food. Food. History. Food.
5. Turkey - The collision of the West, Islam, Muslim, Old and New World plus it's the cross road of three continents, needless to say I think Turkey offers something to every traveler.
2. Tibet - I've been enthralled with Tibet since my Grandma wanted to make me aware of how lucky I was to be born into American culture when I was a young teenager. We went an saw "Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion". Then I spent some time in college in Dharamsala, India, the headquarters of the Tibeten Government-in-Exile. I think Tibetan culture is beautiful and very serene. I want to be on the Top of the World. I want to see Potala Palace. I've read a dozen books on Tibet, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Buddhism, the regional history. I'm very interested in Tibet. There is just this magnetic pull for me to go and visit and I can't explain it much more than this.
3. Indonesia - Read this article and then you will know why Indonesia is awesome.  http://www.gadling.com/2010/08/12/cultures-of-indonesia-sea-gypsies-cannibals/. I'm applying for a Fulbright Scholarship to Indonesia to be an English Teaching Assistant.

My list does change a lot. But this is today's list.
