The amount is enough to travel the world for a year. Unless you want to spoil yourself with first class flights and 5 star hotels you'd be hard pressed to even spent it.

How about climbing Mount Kilimanjaro (takes a week), then relax on the beach for a week and give the remaining 15k to a local orphanage?

It's a thought experiment. Assuming I haven't travelled in years and may not be able to again. Decadence was not the goal, as is neither spending or wasting all the money unnecessarily. It's the classic pickle, stay in a few places for a long time or barely get to know/appreciate multiple. Honestly looking for ideas I can expand on...

Going for people and culture ?

Pick different culture. Stay in one country/city, exploring it to the fullest, making friends. Learning to sign their songs.

Going for refreshment and nature ?

Hop in multiple places.

Ok, it sounded like the thought experiment had the requirement to spent that amount.
