Where to next??

I meant to mention in my previous blog post.
I am planning a trip for next year, but have two possibilities at the moment. Should I go to Australia in June/July with a friend or Thailand at the end of next year on a solo mission (or possibly with some friends)? I am pretty excited for both, but can only afford one.
Thailand has always been my dream destination, but I am also quite keen for Australia. I have never really found it too appealing, but then again I felt the same about Ireland and Germany and I ended up loving both of those. Let me know what you think in the comments, or give me some suggestions on other places I should visit. I am feeling something tropical is in order.

Peace, love and happiness.
