Go to Amsterdam. Unwind, relax, visit the museums, sit at the edge of the ocean. Then buy a train ticket and see Europe.

I would say travel in the USA first. It's cheaper, it's not the culture shock, and you can experience most cultures of the world here in the USA. Also, you can become accustomed to their spoken language before being totally immersed. Finally, you may find a culture in the USA that really interests you, and then can make oversea plans from that.

If by travel you mean spending at least several months visiting other cultures then I recommend you take a low and slow approach so you can immerse yourself in the culture and really get a sense of the history and the people wherever you decide to go.
If on the other hand you want a whirlwind vacation of a week or two, ie. 14 countries in 10 days then you should try Western Europe as it is reasonably safe, affordable and has good night life and scenery/history. For something a little more exotic you might want to try a layover of a few days in Iceland as it has stunning scenery and an active nightlife, plus some of the most beautiful women in the world according to many surveys on the topic.

Mine is not as exotic I suppose.... I like anywhere in the Caribbean. Being on the beach with a cigar in one hand and a drink in the other while listening to steel drums... That's relaxation there...

Good luck in your travel quest.....the world is your oyster, however visiting the diverse parts of your own country is probably the best way to start,

I've been to every US state except Alaska and Hawaii, been to NE Canada (Quebec, Nova Scotia). 8 weeks in Ireland, toured Europe with a symphony orchestra in the 1970s. In '99 I went to Cairo, to perform in a World Music Festival at the Great Pyramids. I played Celtic and Klezmer music! It was a lot of fun. Toured the city and surrounding desert after. Brought home an Ud I bought there. Went to South Korea for the first time in '00 to adopt a baby. Went back in '04 on my way to Beijing via Korean Air (the best damn airline imho), and again in '05 and '07. Traveled all over China, lived in Shenyang for about 7 months. Briefly visited England, Japan, Austria, Italy, Switzerland...

Places I'd like to go: Holland, Sweden, Scotland, Hawaii, Vietnam, India.

There's still time.

When my youngest is 17, we will travel around the country (he's 9). At least that's his plan now, but you know how they change.

I think you shoud travel and do it often.

SE Asia. Especially Thailand. Very affordable, friendly people who speak at least passable english, lots of things to see and do and the best nightlife scene on the planet.
