Every country in East, South and South East Asia haha (I've already been to quite a few). The only ones I don't want to go to are Brunei (looks boring) and Myanmar (shameful).
Outside of that, I'd really like to visit New Zealand, Australia, Iceland, Switzerland, Egypt and Turkey. Not a country but I also want to visit Alaska (in the spring).
I plan to go to more countries outside of that but these are my #goals for the moment.

Cool.
I also would like to visit Australia and Switzerland (maybe, Egypt (Cairo and the Pyramids of Giza) and Turkey (Istanbul)).
You mentioned Alaska and while this is not a country, it's a state also...I would love to visit Hawaii.

It was a Reddit thread I think. Idk. In the winter I always like to look up "What's it like to live in X warmer city?" on Google for different places.

You can't visit all of them (and you don't want to, I bet).
Just list the ones that are at the top of your travel bucket list.

I have a college degree and used to work but I also have a condition that has a tendency to send people into depression (an autoimmune illness that destroys my thyroid gland). I've probably been suffering from it since my very early teen days but it wasn't diagnosed until I was 25 or so and the depression + some other things were not diagnosed until 4 years ago. The problem with depression is that it makes it impossible to focus on what you're doing so even easy jobs that don't require much brain power become impossible. Another thing is that you can never completely get rid of depression once it was contracted. Even if (temporarily) defeated it will always be there just waiting in the background for an opportunity to strike again so the chance of relapsing is comparatively big and employers know that so they tend to not hire people who suffered from it. That means no job and that means no self confidence and a feeling of being worthless and that means more depression... a nice vicious cycle. Oh well, I haven't given up yet. I'm in therapy and the job market looks quite promising right now. We'll see. :)

Canada. I'd like to live there so I can talk to people in that time zone without worrying about my sleep schedule so much, and because it has preferable politics to me compared to America's. Aside from that, America, South Korea, Japan, anywhere that's safe really.

It's not much better down here. Friday we had tornadoes to the east of us and blizzards to the west at the same time. Nebraska may be a boring state but the weather here sure as hell isn't.
If it doesn't begin to warm up here soon, people are going to start having nervous breakdowns. :(
