          Re: Just curious...

          Well I'm originally from the UK, and I've traveled all across the UK on tours with bands!

          Then when I was 18 I made my way to the US to be with my ex-fiance. Spent most of the last 3 years in Orlando, Florida, but also spent time in Virginia.

          While there, visited:

          New York
          New Jersey
          Baltimore
          Washington DC
          Blue Ridge Mountains
          Kansas City, MO/KS
          Tulsa OK - favorite place EVER! I love Tulsa!
          Chicago

          And we also took a lot of day trips around Florida, down to the keys, to Miami, to the beach...I'm moving back in February, and I can't wait!

          I spent 2001-2003 in Spain, just outside of Malaga in a town called Arroyo. Beautiful place! Again, took lots of day trips to places from there,to Marbella, Porto Banus, Torremolinos, Fuengirola...

          When I was 13 and 14, I did an exchange program and lived in Mannheim, Germany. Took lots of trips around France, Germany and such from there - went skiing in the Black Forest, went to Strassborg, Heidlburg, stuttgart, cologne...I can't remember all the places I went lol

          I have also worked in Turkey and Majorca (Spain) over the years! Didn't like Turkey at all lol.

          And then random vacations to France, Menorca, Tenerife, Switzerland, and around the UK.

            I've been to every state except Maine, Alaska and Rhode Island. I've been all over Europe, Chekoslavia (spelling?) Canada and Mexico. My favorite place was Tennessee. I love it. We have lots of fun and friends who live there.

              I've been to almost all states, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Kuwait, Iraq, Bosnia, Czech, Croatia, Hungary, Austria, Germany, France, and Ireland. My favorite of all so far has been Budapest, Hungary. It's beautiful , even in February (cold, but beautiful), there a bunch of stuff to do and the bars are awesome.

                I've been to most Canadian provinces, but not the Maritimes. I've been to Florida by way of the I75, so all through those states. I've also been to NYC.

                Outside of N. America, I've been to Bali, Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Ireland and the UK.

                I've also travelled all over Japan. I haven't been to Okinawa yet, but I'd love to go someday.


                I think my two favourite places have been Sapporo and Edinbugh. They are just really fun cities with friendly people and a good energy. And lots of beer.

                  Me and my gf were in Budapest last December, and you are right its lovely. Even in the cold. Those bridges are beautiful arent they?

                    Re: Just curious...

                    I still have lots of places I want to go, Italy and Portugal are at the top of the list! I was lucky enough to get a job right out of college where I was overseas for months.

                    Every U.S. state except Alaska
                    Chile - for 18 months (one of my faves)
                    China - for 6 months - Guangzhou - not one of my faves
                    Hong Kong
                    Australia - 6 months
                    Ireland - 6 months
                    U.K. - 3 times
                    Germany - 3 times
                    Amsterdam - 1 time
                    Canada - Montreal & Toronto - too many times to count
                    Dominican Republic
                    Nassau
                    St. Thomas
                    Mexico
                    Peru
                    Argentina
                    Puerto Rico

                    Hmmm...I think that's all of 'em. I always feel so self-conscious in Europe since we look and dress so American. I used to feel self-conscious because everyone is so skinny and I was so huge...lol!
