While it would be fun, honestly, it's not too high on my list. That said, if someone wants to pay me to go to Tristan da Cunha....I'm in!

I'm less interested in geographically distinct/isolated places than I am in places that are distinct due to political geography. Yes, some will judge this because "people suffer" because of political geography, but I also find it fascinating how politics can take two places that are otherwise very close and make them very, very different.
