Istanbul, Turkey: The place has so many layers of political and religious history. Plus, it is the land of my favourite writers, Rumi and Pamuk.

Serengeti National Park, Tanzania: I love wildlife (I'm a little wild myself!). One of my unfulfilled ambitions was to be a vet. The nobility of animals forever
fascinates me.

Ladakh, India: It is so magnificent. I can't imagine a landscape that is more beautiful and meditative.

Madrid, Spain: I love this city. It could be because I love to practice my Spanish there. There is another reason -- I've always wanted to go to and hang around at the Prado Museum.

Any place in Myanmar: I have an unusual reason for recommending this country. I'm madly in love with the country's democracy icon and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.
