Plane ticket to anywhere: Where do I go?

NSG,
I'm all finished with high school, and it feels great lemme tell ya. Once I receive my diploma in a few weeks, my parents have offered to purchase me a plane ticket to anywhere in the world. (My dad has like 5 mil (skymiles))

When my brother graduated, he opted for Thailand/Vietnam and a hell of a time chopping beer cans in half on top of a skyscraper, as well as a brief stint in a Bangkok jail.

It's now my turn.

So NS..
Where do I go?

P.S. I'd prefer to get some skiing in while I'm at it.

Get a ticket to Fairbanks and then charter a flight to the Brooks Range and backpack for a couple weeks. Not many people can say they have did that.

Southeast Asia is a good call for the cheapest trip and crazy shit happening. Good time to go to Europe right now because the exchange rate is the best it's been in a long time. Prague is dope for women and beer and still relatively cheap compared to the rest of Europe. Florence Italy is good for bomb food and wine plus a lot of study abroad American girls roaming around. Chile for skiing though like somebody else posted. I assume you are going this summer? There are so many sweet places it really depends on what you are looking for.

you can get tickets to iceland for like 100 dollars right now... That would be a waste of a free ticket anywhere in the world.

southeast asia is never a bad choice. living and travelling is super cheap there and plane tickets are pretty expensive so i'd say that would be the best bang for your buck.

How much money do you have? I'd go to New Zealand. You're looking at 1500 round trip flight so getting that for free would be dope.

Southeast asia would be cool, next on my list of places to go because of the ability to live cheap(and im poor)

Really depends what you want to do. Seems like everyone wants to go to europe but that's not my jam at the moment.

BAsically go to wherever

I'm looking at about 800-1000 in travel cash. NZ looks fun, very high cost of living though.

Currently looking into somehow getting into North Korea. Apparently Americans can get in if they join a tour group.

I'd just hit up Japan whenever. Tokyo is possibly the most exciting city in the world.

You could go catch a kid rock show while you're there and take in all the sites of such a wonderfully bustling urban region.
