<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

Hello fellow travelers! First off thank you to all who have posted reviews, guides, budgets and itineraries for all to share. This community is great because of you.

I'll start by apologizing for the length of this post.
I currently work full time and do a master's program on nights and weekends, so free time is a thing of the past for me. My longest time between classes is 10 days, so I'm planning to save up until September, cash in some vacation days, and wander. I'm here asking for your suggestions on where to go.

Last year, I had the most amazing trip of my life with just a backpack across Dublin-London-Rome-Barcelona-and Munich for Oktoberfest in 14 days. Much fun and joy was had by all. This time, I want to settle in a little more and really get to know a place. My first thoughts have been along the lines of Istanbul, Budapest, Prague, Philippines, Thailand, Greece..... but in the end I eventually want to see the world, so I'm not committed to one place. I would much enjoy another visit to the heavenly Oktoberfest, so if I happen to be in the area I will certainly try to stop in for 2 days, but it's not required.

Budget: under $2000 firm, ALL expenses included, flight, taxes, fees, alcohol, meals, accommodations, everything

For reference, I'm 30, male, extremely comfortable traveling alone, just think some Anthony Bourdain No Reservations style world exploration. I did my trip last year under $2000, using Ryanair and Airbnb the whole way (transatlantic with aerlingus, FYI flying LAX to Dublin in Sept was $830RT incl all tax/fees vs 1100-1300 for most other European dest., the difference more than covered all my travel costs Ryanair and bus/rail throughout the trip).

Anyways, let the ideas flow!
<bot>: 30/m/ca, 10 days in late Sept '15, under $2k total max, depart Los Angeles, wanderlust, walkabout, no reservations, hit me with it!
