I want to quit my job and throw on a backpack and travel. Where should I go first?

i recommend that you go to indonisia or tokio there both really exotic and iv spent months there enjoying there culture..trust me if you have the time and money .. first off thats the place you should go

Vietnam a must go or Japan if u want good food or Rome lots of
history there.

visit every state where you have family so you will always have a place to stay and catch up on old times
