Explorian new lands.

Yes, I typed "Explorian" on purpose. Why? Because I've suddenly become obsessed with Armenia culture.

While it was a combination of factors (including a fascination with old Soviet history), the tipping point was hearing the Violin Concerto of Aram Khachaturian. I've always liked his music, but this concerto was a sudden dose of inspiration, causing this tiny country to vault up into the A-list of places I need to visit.

Now to see if I can tag it on to a trip to Europe this year...
