I've always dreamed of traveling the world and exploring different countries, but there are so many of them! Please help me decide by giving me some reasons why I should visit your country!
#1
You should come to Lithuania if you enjoy lush forests, old architecture, and great food! We also have lots of lakes, rivers. You can go to the coast and see the Baltic Sea.

You should visit Ireland because, well... It's Ireland!
Ireland doesn't really need selling because if you don't already know it has the best people, the best scenery, and the food... Oh the food!!!
Anyone that has ever been to Ireland will tell you... You should go!

I was really surprised to see how few nations are represented here. Although I am Dutch American, I hope I can do the nations below justice from my limited experience of their natural, cultural, and historical beauty.
First and foremost, GREECE. The foundation of the modern world, of civilisation, democracy, and all that mythology, Greece is a historical gem that knows no equal in the first world. The cuisine is an aquired taste for some, but the people are charming to a fault, affable, and everyman's friend.
Second, Italy. Where Greece gave rise to organised thinking, Rome gave rise to organised logistics. The roads Rome built can still be traced from the air, and connect almost all of europe over land, making for a fascinating tourist route.
The third has already been mentioned, but bears repetition as a cuisine, which is almost a trip unto itself. Both Italy and France can be toured gastronomically and oenologically for WEEKS on end without a moment's boredom.
Fourth is actually a forest rather than one nation, and encompasses Germany, Poland, even extending into Lithuania, likewise mentioned above. Further north the belt continues into the former soviet union, before tapering south of siberia. This belt is the largest continuous forest on the planet, and the sheer scale is something to behold.
One cannot mention Germany or indeed Belgium without beer, and both of their magnificent history with trains and waterworks. Both have culinary delights found nowhere else, and both have frankly staggering artistic output. Mahler alone is worth a month of touring, similar in scope to Keats or Shakespeare in the UK. Other delights in europe are the flowers and tidal works of the Netherlands, the horses and cuisine of Spain, the Danish unbelievable hotdog variety, and the sheer power of nature's fury in Iceland.
Across the Med you can see Morocco and Egypt, although with the climate changing in the direction it is, that territory is not only becoming progressively less habitable, but also exponentially more dangerous. West and south Africa hold the true jewels of nature, with Senegal and Mali offering the warmest of french influences to introduce you to the desert biome, and Tanzania, Congo, and Zambia as the heart of the savannah biome. Africa has some of the most magnificent displays of nature's beauty, but the political situation can be rather fluid, so always check with your embassy for up-to-date information.
Please do not visit Madagaskar unless you enjoy jungle trekking and can be disciplined about it, as this is one of our planet's most fragile ecosystems. Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures.

Beyond Africa there is south and southeast asia, with it's marvelous colour and impossibly rich history. India alone is a lifetime of experiences, as is Thailand, Myanmar, Tibet, and Vietnam. If you've time for only one I would heartily recommend Malaysia as they have a unique three-way split population of Malaysian, Indian, and Chinese influences; each with equally long and lustrous history, cuisine, and culture. My five years in Kuala Lumpur were the highlight of my youth.
Further into Asia there is of course China, but I cannot advise going there at the moment with the kerfuffle america is stirring up. Hong Kong is China Light, as it were, but is VERY intense for newcomers. Sights, sounds, smells, even the sheer number of languages can be a lot to process. Just let it wash over you, and you'll feel right at home in ten days flat.
Over to the east you have Indonesia and of course Japan, both of which are just impossible to do justice by anyone but a native. Japan in particular is utterly apart from the rest of our species, and in my view a cut above the rest. Cuisine, history, culture, art, even their infrastructure is a marvel to behold. If I had to pick one city, I'd say go see Fukuoka.

Scotland, a lovely part of Uk. I'm british/swedish and have family in Edinburgh, which is one of the bigger cities. You should absolutly visit Edinburgh if you love history and culture. Scotland also have the beautiful highlands, isles (exampe Isle of Skye) and of course we have the famous sea monster Nessie.
Sweden is beautiful too, especially in the summer when there is no snow and a bit warmer. We have amazing nature with a free to room rule. Gotland and the high coast is two places with amazing nature!

Wherever you go -- take the most scenic route possible and take as much time as possible. Get off the main path and see as much as you can -- EVERYWHERE. Read books, looks things up on the internet, talk to people before you go, talk to everyone when you are there. You will regret that you didn't travel farther and longer no matter how much you cram into your life. Look at travel shows, do your research, always have an alternate plan for bad weather, delays. Travel will turn you into an entirely different person!

Belgium! Cute little country with the best chocolate, great food and delicious beers, lots of history and nature and tucked in between France, the Netherlands and Germany, so you can easily go to these countries too.
Compact awesomeness!

In Canada we have the world's largest boreal forest, 2 mountain ranges (Rockies in the west and Aleutians in east), tundra in the north, prairies in the centre. Manitoba has countless lakes with thousands of swimmable beaches.
Our people are warm, friendly and accommodating. Need directions or want to ask a question and we'll become your personal tour guide lol.
We're surrounded by 3 oceans: Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic. There's something for everyone.
Our winters can be harsh in the prairies, and very hot in the summer, but if you can't handle risking -30C or lower or +30C and higher, British Columbia is usually mild and rainy, southern Ontario has milder temperatures.
In summers we do get some heavy storms and about 60 tornadoes a year if storm chasing is up your alley.
If you like winter sports, we have lots of manmade rinks, but even more special 2 of the longest natural skating rinks on the Assiniboine River in Winnipeg and Rideau Canal In Ottawa that divides Ontario and Quebec.
If French is your main language you'll feel right at home in Quebec, and there are French districts in any of the main cities.
Canada is heavily multicultural. Every tradition is embraced. We love to learn and experience different cultures around the world. Our arts and entertainment community is huge.

There's plenty of professional and junior sports matches to go see. Despite hockey being massively popular, lacrosse is actually our national sport. Along with American football, soccer football, baseball, curling, figure skating, etc.
If art is more your taste we got a pretty unique music scene that's quite folks-y. Festivals galore, especially in Manitoba. There's Winnipeg Folk Festival that's on at Bird's Hill Park, a city wide Folklorama where you can explore different cultures for a week.
Niagara Falls is beautiful. A honeymoon mecca and it's got a main street that looks like Universal Studios, imo. You can go on a ferry ride that goes close to the falls and a tunnel system behind the falls.
I could write a novel. I'll leave it here. Canada is just an amazing country.

Come to Australia! (Canberra more specifically.) It is beautiful, smells amazing, great hiking, and kind people. The only downsides are the increasing wildfires and the kangaroos out to get you.
