Travel to find myself....where would you go?

I'm looking to take 2-3 weeks off from my life...and I'm not sure where to go. Looking for a "life-expierence" and not just a vacation. I'm not crazy about beaches or extreme cold. Want to avoid the "tourist traps" and find some adventure outside of the U.S. Places and culture that interest me include India, China, Peru....But also would like to be somewhere safe...I guess basically, I'm looking for a place to find some inner peace, and a new direction in my life. So given the opportunity, and if you have traveled internationally...where you you go?

1. It sounds like you are already on the right track. Visit places that are very foreign to you. It will force you to really depend on yourself on a daily basis, and in doing so you may find aspects of yourself you did not know existed. I think the government has listings of what countries are considered safe right now. But I do not know what department, maybe homeland security.
Good luck in your journey.

2. Go to the Philippines. Friendly English speaking natives a good value for your hard earned $. One warning though, once here you won't want to leave.

My favorite resort is on the island of Negros in the Visayas region (middle) 45 min planeride from Manilla.

Not to touristly and great prices, food and service. There is also a nearby native hotsprings resort and a casino with nightlife 10 min away if you get bored.
