Maybe not Belarus then, as they charge silly amounts for a visa as well. North Korea is almost more plausible. Possibly not right now, with the tense politics - wait for them to calm down a bit first.

Iceland is looking most likely, but if I go there I'd want to do it properly, and might not leave time to go anywhere else this summer.

Keep me informed of any plans you do form, just in case. Even if I can't join you for a week, I might be able to zoom out for a weekend somewhere.
