Middle-earth! I'd go to the shire and hang out with Hobbits because those guys know how to drink and eat.

Update: the novel is available now to be reviewed!
Probably in a month or two! Waiting for the print proof to come in for the novel before I put the ebook up for pre-sale and linking it.

I'm currently reading Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy and I'm finally tackling Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time (specifically, just finished the Fires of Heaven). On the sci-fi side, I got around to finishing Tiamat's Wrath and Tyche's Deceit. Right now, I'm off in mystery-thriller land with The Snowman by Jo Nesbo.

Creating worlds and characters is probably my favorite aspect of writing. Sometimes, it feels like those worlds and people are as real as everything else to me.

The entire series was born from mashing two trilogies I planned: an off-world science-fiction series and a low-fantasy series set on Earth in the far future. Somehow, that combined and became the Aeonlith Chronicles.

Currently working on the first novel of my series, "A Veil for the Vanguard." It's an epic, high-fantasy series and here's what it's about: A magic user out of her element and a motley airship crew set out to search for a powerful magical artifact. Instead, they unravel long buried secrets that threaten to spill into all out war.

Read a lot. Then write a lot. Then edit even more.
If you write fantasy I also suggest doing a lot of upfront world-building before you start writing. Not just the world the characters inhabit, but the characters themselves.

Writers block is caused by two things for me: either I'm very tired or I don't know how to go from point A to point B. If it's the former I just stop writing and come back to it when I feel refreshed and continue. If it's the latter then I just write whatever comes to mind whether it makes sense or not. The key is to keep writing, you can always go back and fix it later if you don't like the solution although at times the nonsensicle idea has the kernal of a great and unexpected outcome.
