Canada to find out if it would ever be a viable place to move to as my husband occasionally wistfully talks about (I have no intention of leaving the country, but I certainly wouldn't move to Canada without experiencing it in both summer and winter)
Bhutan - we went there on our honeymoon, it'd certainly be a year away from it all, and it is utterly stunning
Germany - because I'm fond of it and would like to explore it more, plus it wouldn't be as hot as Southern Europe
South Africa - because you can have a really good quality of life there, and it's a bit familiar through DH's family and holidays, also beautiful and great food
Maybe Denmark after a friend's experience of moving to Copenhagen.

Under a different president I would swap Scotland for America (ideally at least part of the year would be in Alaska).
