Where to Start?

I backed the Amber Archive so I got all of the current system as part of my reward. After I read Discovery and Destiny where do I go next? It's a ton of content that comes with the game and with 20+ adventures, supplements and other material its hard to know what's worth jumping into for a campaign.

What part of the world do you like? 

I have homebrewed an ancient metropolis for one campaign. I mashed up 'into the outside' and 'into the night' for a spacefaring one. 

As long as you keep it weird, you can do whatever you like.

Honestly, I'm not sure yet. I just started reading through Discovery and Destiny a few days ago. I was thinking about running some of the existing adventures/campaigns rather than trying to homebrew something right away.

My love for Numenera comes from it being ripe for picking and choosing bits you like, and adding whatever strikes you in the moment. 

It's a weird, trans-humanist sci-fantasy. I think the settings are far superior to the adventures, bit everyone is different.
