Several things:

  • I hope you like hot swampy humidity if you want to go to Florida. There is no relief from it.
  • Lies, those are not bundle trash. Hue is fantastic and Epistory and Unbox aren't even bundled in the Steamgifts sense.
  • Favorite places I've been: Iceland, Vancouver Island, Sierra Mountains (California), New Zealand, all over France, and of course Washington DC area (home).
  • Places I most want to go: Italy (esp. Rome and Florence), South Africa, Galapagos (because that's the wife's #1 destination), Western Ireland (have only been to Dublin), Scandinavia, especially Norway.
  • Pics and/or stories might follow if I get a chance.
  • I will never be content.

I don't really have pics on this (my work) computer. But I can relate stories. Sorry for the WoT...
-- Iceland: this was for a choral trip so I was with my wife and other chorus members. We weren't there long, but I remember mostly the very long days, the ash upon the ground from a recent volcano eruption, learning that there are no mosquitoes in Iceland, and eating whale in a mom & pop restaurant-- tastes exactly like a cross between beef and fish.
-- Vancouver Island: this was a long time ago, but I just remember these amazing hikes through lush, dense forest, absolute tranquility. And there was a supermarket/food store called "Overweightea's" that absolutely cracked up my brother and me. We asked a lady how to pronounce it, and it's just like it's spelled. Never forget that.
-- Sierra Mountains (California)-- most of my memories/stories there were from my summers at my Dad's, where from 9-13 we went to YMCA camp. It was always one of the best weeks of the year. We just got to do all kinds of fun stuff like hiking, swimming, playing capture the flag, having nightly campfires and singing songs, a hike and overnight tent stay away from the main campgrounds, and more. I just loved the environment, the smells and sounds of the sierra mountains.
-- France-- most of the time I spent in France it was for work-- as hard as I've ever worked in my career-- but my colleagues there were fantastic-- every single one of them. I had the amazing good fortune of being in Toulouse, France in 1998 when they won the World Cup, and then again in Paris in 2000 when they won the Euro. I was a good-luck charm! I also attended a wedding of a good friend in a small beach town in Bretagne, visited Versailles, stayed at a small castle bed&breakfast in the Loire valley, and of course spent some time in Paris (though way too little). And the starriest night I've ever seen was at Mont St. Michel in northern France.
-- New Zealand-- Well, we were to spend two nights in Christchurch, NZ, before driving off to the west coast of the southern island, but on the second day, we got to experience the Christchurch earthquake of 2011. We were on a little day trip to Akaroa with a NZ friend, and while stopping for lunch, the earthquake hit. Long story short, our downtown hotel was condemned but we managed to get the staff to accompany us to our room to get our stuff (including my wife's medicine), spent the most terrifying night of my life at our friend's house with aftershocks all night long, but still got our rental car the next day and high-tailed it to the other side of the island, where we had a fantastic time....
-- Washington DC area-- well, that's my home; lived in the area almost all of my life. Too many stories to tell. :)

Well, my country is very huge and has very rich places and cultures, so I wish could photograph all those places and people, but first need to fix some things inside my head.

First my country, later anywhere else I can afford}

P.S. I envy the eurozone, going from one country to another in hours/minutes

The top 5 places I want to go is...

1- New Zealand
2- Norway
3- Italy
4- Uruguay
5- Greenland

About stories, the first city I visited outside my country was Chicago just after Christmas, which means lots of snow. I was using Asics running shoes, so after a few steps in the snow I was slipping every time and my feet started to get wet and numb. It was the first time I've ever saw snow in my life, no idea how to deal with it. After arriving at the hotel got a cab to a big Macy's store a few blocks ahead to buy a pair of boots that I still own and I bring it every time I go on a trip to a foreign country. :)

I once went to Latvia with my friends. We bought booze, got drunk, bought more booze and came back.
It was ok.

But as to what I'm happy with, I'm happy when I'm married/living together with my true love. My biggest fear is loneliness and love doesn't fizzle as easily as a normal friendship.

The only way i feel as if I will be content is managing to have a decent car, moving from where I am and somewhere I would rather live, having a S/O, and having a job I don't completely hate and that pays my bills.
Honestly I want to live in Oregon, I love nature, but I have adapted to city life and not so big on country life. I grew up in a small hick town and moved to the city so my life is half country and half city. Nature is something I thrive in and love to enjoy, while I enjoy being in the city as well and can seamlessly move from one to the other.
I want to visit the U.K., Australia, and Canada mostly, along with other friends I have in the states.

I know, I have lofty goals and that is even for being content. Time shall tell though.

been to Australia (and Hong Kong on the way) and Tazmania - amazing landscape. it looks like the british convicts got their "punishment" indeed...
London and around (also Stonehenge). you can't cook :(
Switzerland
Paris (AMAZING!!! especially the food. you've never had a baguette until you had a french one, lenny)
Barcelona - actually, didn't liked it that much. Gaudi is amazing, the rest is too much touristy..

I know, I was just teasing. :P
But something about the juxtaposition of those sentences made me chuckle, hence the pic and its tooltip.

Put the purple on Senegal and forget about Morocco. Not the best place for a female tourist unless you tolerate being constantly harassed on the street if you dare to have a walk alone.

Dirt: Showdown - TA5??-XATCI-F4EWI [?? - what do you say after a good game?]

EZ?

Also for someone who hasn't traveled anywhere out of their country... Tell me stories of where you have been and if you are like me tell me the top 5 places you want to visit! It would be awesome if you added photos as well <3

Helsinki (Finland): It's a nice not too big city that's easy to get around in on foot. There's nothing that really sets it apart, but it easy enough to get by with just knowing English

Tallinn (Estonia): An old city, and you can tell that it's been around for a long time by it's layout, and many of the older buildings. A really pleasant city, that's also very affordable to visit if you're on a budget. I would love to go back there at some point, because I only spent a day there. Most people in the main city seemed to know basic English, but communication could sometimes be a problem.

Riga (Latvia): Another old city, and one with a beautiful old town. This one is also very affordable to visit, and once again most people in the main city speak enough English for you to be able to get by, but communication was at times a bit of an issue.

Copenhagen (Denmark): It's another Nordic city. It has a nice old town, everything is rather expensive and you can easily get by by just knowing English. Actually quite pleasant, but don't tell Mille that I said that.

Ennis (Ireland): A quaint little town with plenty of pubs (if you're into that sort of stuff). Generally quite pleasant and it seemed relaxed. I was a bit surprised by the fact that they guard their money transport with heavily armed police though...

Rome (Italy): Rome is big, but what surprised me was just how much greenery there was in the city. Getting by on foot was not really viable (unlike all the other previously mentioned cities) and people were surprisingly bad at English, but their public transportation was still easy to use, and the city is beautiful.

Prague (Czech Republic): Prague is a very pedestrian friendly city, and surprisingly easy to navigate, despite its age. There are plenty of old buildings to look at and a large park on a hill that gives you a great view of the city. Overall I really liked it.

Rijeka (Croatia): A small-ish town in Croatia where it seems to rain all the time... I found it very easy to navigate by foot, but other people from the city called me crazy for doing so. The town does suffer from a relatively poor economy, which was noticeable in the way many buildings looked. I would not recommend staying in this town for weeks as a tourist unless you know someone there.

I'm come France, I grew up not far from the Swiss border so I went there quite a few times, I went to Germany 2 times and Ireland 1 times. This year in the fall I planned to go to Canada to make a road trip from east to west.
