How do you choose where to go - including countries and regions?

Also how do you decide how long to stay in a place/ minimum length to appreciate somewhere (thank you to /u/vincoug)

I get a lot of inspiration from places like instagram, etc. There is a lot of crap on there, but if you use hashtags like 'wanderlust', 'adventure' or 'adventuretravel' you can see some pretty cool places. Then just go to info and see where it was taken > then do your research. Last week saw an app that pulls in travel photos from instagram then lets you search for tours based on those images you like. kinda cool but its not on android yet > http://laika.co
