Times Square was a place, nay an experience I will never forget… the lights, the sounds, the smells, the flourishing life that constantly surrounds you no matter what time it is…
WOW… not something you’ll see anywhere else in my opinion… I felt so alive standing out there, like I was in a movie, some fantasy world… the world that we always see on TV, the movies, and hear about… its real… there IS an energy in that place, and its SO worth feeling… I’d love to feel it again… Oh and if you plan on sleeping, good luck, it feels like there is just so much to take in continuesly, and thats because there ALWAYS is! VISIT! Its a once in a lifetime experience… unless you visit twice… hee hee.

This city is a city of its own, without a doubt, no city comes close to what NYC has to offer!!! The things you’ll see, hear, smell, taste are all things you’ll never forget!!! Although it is one of the pricest places I’ve ever visited, it is well worth it… to know, to see, to hear… to know what its like in NYC… I was there before the 9/11 attacks… and I would have to say (not having been there since) that the city hasn’t lost any of its amazing thrills!

I can’t stress enough how much the people of Aurora, and a lot of CO. in fact that are liars, superficial pricks, and bad drivers… I loved the nice thunderstorms and more than anythign the mountains… but if you like people, this is NOT the place to go… I lived there for at least a year and a half… and I get along with almost anyone and everyone! But these people are on some kind of super ego trip… and I swear it, so MANY of them are LIARS… its weird! My family (stepdad, mom, and two younger sisters) still live there, so that’s the only time you’ll see me back there! But I’m not saying that places up in the mountains are the same, because I LOVE snowboarding up at Copper Mountain!!!

WOW… what can I say? I had a wonderful time up there. I camped, it was also one of the best camping trips ever… my little sister Ali and I free climbed the rocks and had a blast/bonding experiences occured! lol… There are some pretty big rocks to climb there! The nature is so obvious and beautiful! I love this place and I would love to go visit all the time!

I was there during St. Patricks time… and being very Irish I loved the community and the city as a whole! I got out to the islands and to all of the places I could go before I had to come back to TX. This town/city is amazing!!! I may be moving there shortly to attend school. My bf is going to get his masters for 3D animation at SCAD… All in all the town is gorgeous!!! I have a postcard I bought there hanging in my computer area, which I look at all the time… And I found out recently that I have tons of family background there… my family have some streets named after them… lol…

Austin is what people say it is… music, trends, and acting… oh yes, and UT… When I lived there I got my modeling career to take off, and it was fun there… there a MANY beautiful places to visit in Austin, so much to observe (if you’re a big observer like me) and to take in! One place that is great in my opinion during the summer is Sculpture Falls off of South Mopac… which is nice to hang out in. I loved the diversity there and the fact that if you’re gay/lesbian, anti-social, or in a BAND, you’re not gawked at, you’re expected, and people seem to be themselves almost 100% of the time, and I loved that!

This is the city in which I was born. Unfortunately the last time I visited the city still seemed as if it was living in the 80’s-early 90’s… the drug problems were bad… and kids far too young were doing things not even I would have been doing… (and I did a lot as a young kid)... One thing is that it is a beautiful state, plain and simple… it is.

I spent the majority of my younger years in the Cornhusker state… and I have to say, I learned more from the people, the land, and the weather there in NE. more than I have learned about any of those things elsewhere! People thing of NE. they think of corn… yes there is corn, but that is not what NE. is all about. You’ll find that the people of NE. take their sports and academics seriously. So many small to large towns I lived in and met exceptional people in. The only thing I’ve come to find about TRUE Nebraskans, is that once a Nebraskan they’re always a Nebraskan… I don’t know hardly anyone that has left that state to venture out and see the rest of the US… Nebraska to me was like a little country within a country… NE. is not a state you can get the feel of by just visiting though, at least I don’t believe that… It’s a place you have to absorb over the years… its the people you’ll meet, the things you’ll see, the days that will go by and you’ll realize that sports is all there is in the state… hee hee. Okay, well I did learn a great lot in NE. the only reason I’d want to go back is to visit friends and to see them most likely living the same life their parents had planned out for them 10 years ago… sad but true… but I must not forget to add that the open country is SO wonderful, and NE. has great seasons, ALL FOUR! lol… and they’re beautiful, the leaves all change so gloriously and the snow comes whene it should, and the spring is something to behold, and the summers are where you make memories… One town (I spent most of my time here) I’d reccommend visiting is Gothenburg… This town and the people within it have inspired me to write a whole screenplay about it!!! Another great place for you campers is Lake McCounohay (spelling errors)... in Ogallala. Nice lake, at least the last time I was there. Feel free to ask any questions about the state and cities/towns within, as I most likely have been there.

I would love to visit and LIVE in this beautiful country. Although I have only seen pictures and talked to locals about Iceland I have come to the conclusion that Iceland is my dream place to live! To build a little place, have a few horses, and to enjoy the beautiful world around me while not being stuck surrounded by superficial people 24/7 (I’d want to be more secluded). Iceland is a place I’d love to at least visit!

I was lucky enough to go out of the country for my FIRST time to Cozumel, Mexico. I went late summer 2004 and it was a great experience! I love languages and as Spanish is one that I am working at learning I found it so nice that the people of the island were more than happy to speak with you in their native tongue with all the patience in the world. The water was gorgeous, I did a lot of free diving, and I saw some of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. The air was nice, the people were curious about tourists and it was interesting watching them observe the tourists (including me)... the island was great to explore and there is wonderful food in Cozumel!!! Some of the tastiest fish I’ve ever encountered! I would love to work at their Dolphin facility (where you can swim with dolphins), and live on the island. Its beautiful in so many ways and it helped me to appreciate all the things that I’m blessed with on a day to day basis here in America. I had a very wonderful trip learning, looking, and listening to all that I could while I was blessed to travel to the beautiful island of Cozumel!
