Where would you love to visit or live?

Now I will probably never have enough money to travel, well at least not for a long time. But if I could go anywhere I would go to Italy. Italy is so beautiful. I also would like to visit Maine to meet some of my husbands family. I wish some days I could just get in the car and go. Ive only been to Idaho for a family reunion and then my great grandmas funeral. So going to see the world is just a dream to me. Here is a photo of where I would love to live someday.


I love old houses!!!

Nice picture.

It always amazes me how Europe still has so much open space. If Europe had been settled by Americans for the past few thousand years, there'd be nothing but Starbucks, Walmarts, and parking lots for as far as the eye can see.

I wouldn't want to live there, but I've always been fascinated with ancient Egypt. I'd love to visit the Pyramids and the Valley of the Kings. And as long as I'm there in that corner of the world, I'd like to see Jerusalem because of its long and fabled history.

I love living in Los Angeles, but if I had a whole huge bunch of money and could live free and easy wherever, I would probably split my time between

LONDON- my favorite city on earth. I love London, and its bookshops and theaters and restaurants and museums, its rains and its people and its historicity, and also its hundreds of pubs. Nothing beats England, a society constructed on the premise that no one should ever have to go further than thirty yards to find beer.

and

ROME- maybe my second favorite city on earth. You have to work to find a bad restaurant in Rome, and work even harder to find bad wine. The architecture is unreal, and the city is both gorgeous and welcoming. It really is the Eternal City.

but votes also go to

JERUSALEM- I lived there for a year, and I would do it again. I love the food, and the absorption of the city in scholarship and study, the artwork and the museums, and the holiness that not even ultra-Orthodox assholes, right-wing nutjobs, and wacked-out Palestinians can entirely cover up. Yom Kippur in Jerusalem is an experience no Jew can experience and be unmoved.

and

WASHINGTON DC- I am always pleasantly surprised by the fact that America's capitol city is really quite capital. The archetecture is often dignified, the museums many and well-furnished, the public transportation cheap and accessible, and the public monuments generally elegant and distinguished. Somehow, Washington really does seem to emphasize our elusive American ideals, and not our ever-present American bullshit.

And the parts of Santa Cruz that are best stay with you, and you don't really have to physically inhabit them: it's a state of mind, man.

I want to hear the lions roar at dusk on the plains of the Serengeti, spend a day watching lemurs in Madagascar, go fishing at an Alaskan inlet next to a glacier, ride a horse on the beach in Jamaica, get lost in Tokyo and find a great karaoke bar and get drunk on sake, swim with sea turtles off the coast of Barbados, go window shopping in Amsterdam, let in ride in vegas and then watch the sun rise from the Florida keys.

I will, however, most likely never leave Ohio. This saddens me.

also, I want to do this:

Quote:
Took a charter flight on a DC-10 to London. Landed at Heathrow. Took a cab to the city center. Don't let people lie to you: hostels are for the ugly. I'm staying in Home House, the most beautiful hotel in the world. Called a friend from school who was selling hash, but she wasn't in. Met a couple of Brits who take me to, of all places, Camden Street. I flirt a bit at the Virgin Megastore, buy some CDs, then follow some girls with pink hair. I wandered around trying to get laid, until it started to rain, then went back to Home House. Ministry of Sound is dead, so I go to Remform - but it's Gay Night. I find the one hetero girl in the place and we dry hump on the dance floor. We cab it back to Home House. I strip her clothes off, suck her toes, and we fuck. I hung out for four or five days. Met the world's biggest DJ, Paul Oakenfold. Kept missing the Changing of the Guards. Wrote my mom a postcard I never sent. Bought some speed from an Italian junkie who was trying to sell me a stolen bike. Smoked a lot of hash that had too much tobacco in it. Saw the Tate. Saw Big Ben. Ate a lot of weird English food. It rained a lot, it was expensive, and I'm jonesing... So, I split for Amsterdam. The Dutch all know English, so I didn't have to speak any Dutch - which was a relief. I cruise the Red Light District. Visit a sex show. Visit a sex museum. Smoke a lot of hash. I meet a Dutch TV actress and we drink absinthe at a bar called Absinthe. The museums were cool, I guess. Lots of Van Goghs and the Vermeers were intense. Wandered around. Bought a lot of pastries. Ate some intense waffles. We bought some coke and I cruised the Red Light District, until I found some blonde with big tits that reminds me of Lara. I gave her a hundred guilders. In the end, she pulls me out, and I cum between her tits, even though I'm wearing a rubber. Afterward we made small-talk about AIDS, her Moroccan pimp, and herself. I wake to the sound of a wino singing. It's 8 AM and hot as blazes. I pretend to ice-skate around Central Station, while someone plays the sax. Trade songs with a Kiwi girl... Then split for Paris by train. Wander the Champs-Elysees. Climb the Eiffel Tower for only seven francs, because the ticket machine was broken. Got the hang of the Metro, took it everywhere. Went to a Ford model party and hooked up with a Romanian model named Karina. She chugs my cock at the Mariott Champs-Elysees, which is good. We played billiards, went shopping. I think she gave me mono. Drove a Ferrari that belonged to a member of the Saudi royal family. Made out with a Dutch model in front of the Louvre. Saw the Arc de Triomphe and almost became road-kill crossing the street... "Oakie" invites me to Dublin, so I catch an Aer Lingus flight and stay at the Morrison. Dublin rocks like you can't imagine. Oakenfold lets me spin some discs with him. Irish girls are as small as leprechauns. I swap hickeys with a drunk woman. After groping my abs and calling me "Mr. L.A.", she strips for me in the bath room of the club. Sneak into the Guinness factory and steal some stout so good my dick goes hard... I fly to Barcelona, which was a low-rent bust. Too many fat American students. Too many lame meat markets. I dropped acid at the Sagrada Familia, which was a trip to say the least. Cruise up the coast to the Museo Gala Dali, but had no more acid, which sucked. Some girl from Camden calls me on my cell, so I let her listen to the church bells in Cadaques. Canta Cruz is beautiful, but there are no girls here, just old hippies... So, I went to Switzerland where I, ironically, couldn't find anyone who had the time. Took the Glacier Express up the Schilthorn, which is beautiful in a way I can't describe... Euro Pass into Italy and ended up in Venice, where I met a hot girl who looks like Rachael Leigh Cook and speaks better English than I do. She's living for a year on only five dollars a day. We gondola around, buy some masks. She think's I'm a capitalist, because my hotel room costs more for one night than she's spending her entire trip. But she doesn't mind it so much when I pay the bills... I ditch her and hook up with a couple who obviously want a 3-some. Too much tension there, but the doofus offers to drive me to Rome, an offer I jump at. Traffic is bad and we're stopped for hours without moving. The wife turns out to be a freak. The guy starts to wig out on me. It's like a Polanski film... We stop for a while in Florence, where I see some big dome. A bomb goes off and I lose the weird couple, which is probably for the best... Ended up in Rome, which is big and hot and dirty. It was just like L.A., but with ruins. I went to the Vatican, which was ridiculously opulent. Stood for two hours to get into the Sistine Chapel, which - now that it's been cleaned - looks fake. I meet two under-age Italian girls who I try to talk into fucking each other while I jack off onto them. Bored, I buy them some ice cream instead. My hotel has a gym, so I work out. I bump into some guy from Camden who says he knows me, but I'm sure that he's a fag, so I lose him. I try to fart and instead shit my pants. Back in my hotel room, I masturbate and have a pain in my groin. That night, I dream about a beautiful girl, half in water, stretching her lean body. She asks me if I like it and I tell her she can clean fish with it. I don't know what it means, but I wake well-rested, masturbate in the shower, and check out... I make my way back to London and hang out in Piccadilly Circus. Hmm. Palakon. I swap shirts with some upper-crusty Cambridge chick. Hers was an Agnes B., mine a Costume Nationale. She acts stuffy and prudish, but is really wild underneath it all. She barely looks at my abs, though she wants to. The next day, I drop some acid and get lost in the subway for a full day and can't find my way out. I meet a cute girl who lets me jack off onto her as long as no cum gets onto her Paul Smith coat. We get stoned while listening to Michael Jackson records and the next morning I wake up talking to myself. I have a big bump on my head from flailing in my sleep. I get my stuff and barely make my plane back to the United States... I no longer know who I am and I feel like the ghost of a total stranger.

As for where I would like to live... I'd like to live in the following cities:

London
New York
Hong Kong

There is a reasonable chance that my career could take me to two of three of those cities.

So I have seen in the travel guides. We were very interested in the Kimberly area-love desert camping -but it looks like the time frame(feb.)isn't a great time for that area. we are going for 4-5 weeks and intend to see all we can with out driving the whole time. We also intend 14-15 days in a caravan(camper) so we can see more out of the way stuff. Any ideas are welcome.

Cool .

My Mom spent a lot of time there and she claims it's a dump. But her tastes exceed mine. I'm in love with the culture and architecture. I'd love to spend a week there. Cyprus especially - that's where my roots are.

The city areas were a bit shabby. We rented scooters and spent all our time in the country and found some amazing places--Winerys in the hills--caves where the christians hide on the north west coast(i think) and very few people--it was the end of May before the big tourist season. We had lunch every day out in the coutry at small tavernas or just in the woods with grape leaves and tomatoes--and good ones they were--Hope you get to go.

My mom traveled to New Zealand in her early 20s and the only reason she will watch the LOTR movies is to see New Zealand in the background.

I'd love to live there, or Japan, or France, or the Netherlands, or Scotland, or Canada. Or else I'd like to stay right here, thank you very much. I do live in a very beautiful place. From where I live, it's only an hour to the Pacific Ocean and 1.5-2 hours to the mountains. You can literally ski in the morning and surf in the afternoon. I've had the opportunity to travel all over the United States, and there is no place like my home. I really wouldn't consider living anywhere else in the U.S. now.

There are lots of places I'd like to visit, probably too many to list here. Hawaii, Japan, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Uzbekistan (one of my life's goals is to travel the length of the Silk Road), India, Thailand, Australia, more of Europe, etc. Really, I would travel pretty much anywhere. Travel in and of itself is a rewarding learning experience.

Tt and I enjoy traveling. Road trips are a little slice of heaven. Train rides and backpacking are even more delightful. There are places that we stayed along the way for a few brief days (or even hours) where we felt immediately at home and would love to return. A list of these...

Carnia


Cerbere


Avignon


Vienna


Munich


Western Montana


St. Louis


Malibu



And I've felt at home here, would love to have an opportunity to show Tt...

A view from the top of Mount Rotui, Moorea


We currently live in one of those places we stopped by for a brief visit and felt at home: southwestern Ohio.


We would like to keep moving, keep traveling - it seems every time we get out there, we find a new place we could easily call home - a place of immediate comfort in a sea of foreign confusion. I hope we find many more places like these in our lifetimes.

Good point. Really anywhere there are hippies, decent seafood, and medium quality chronic could probably substitute for Santa Cruz, but the transients there are truly unique.

I would love to live in southern France in Nice. We visited there for a mere 5 days once while traveling in Europe. I was blown away by it's beauty and all the art galleries around the town. The worst part was that we didn't know much French, but the locals are much more friendly that the locals in Paris.

Another spot I want to visit is either Scotland or New Zealand, both look gorgeous and lush and they speak English! My friends that go to NZ (Kiwiland as they say) have said it IS Paradise on Earth!

Visit? Maybe somewhere like Colombier Beach. There's nothing worse on a beach than a thousand and one drunk coeds. In order to really enjoy the Caribbean, you need to get away from the better known party areas, to place that you can only find via hiking or boating. Bringing someone you adore and maybe a few really well prepared meals and just spend the day existing there. I've not been yet, but from my experience in Mexico desperately looking for a beach as far from other people as possible, this has to be heaven... to visit. It's impractical to live there, of course.

Live? I honestly don't know. I was thinking just outside of Vienna, maybe a few miles up the Wien River (wouldn't want to catch cholera), but that's really just a romantic notion. I'm not familiar with the practicality of living in Austria. Vienna always just screamed culture to me as a child, learning about the art and music coming from there, seeing old paintings of this city that existed outside of time, reaching to me from 300 years ago. I feel as if, were I to visit this summer, I'd want to seek an audience with the king to demonstrate my son's incredible musical ability.

All the places mentioned here and more. I wish I could have like a dozen houses and teleport to a new one every few days.

Well, I'm going to Germany, Mexico and Alaska in the next year, so I'm doing pretty good on making my wildest dreams come true.
