Europe is wonderful and you need to go there. But it's easier to be a poor Somali or a six-year-old Algerian than a Russian to get there for more than a couple of weeks. It's fine in the USA and the UK, but you need to get a visa there in advance. But there are a lot of countries that will gladly accept you from 14 days to 4 months, just don't forget your passport! Below is a list of countries to which you can go immediately after buying a ticket.
