thefridayfive:
1) What is your favorite mode of travel? (Car, train, plane, etc).
Train, probably. You get to see so much, and you don't have to worry about who's going to drive. Nice thing about cars though is that you can make your own path and stop whenever you want. I hate flying with a passion. Uncomfortable. Too high up. Panic-inducing. I'll do it, but I won't have to like it. Boats are cool though.
2) Where is the northernmost place you've traveled? The southernmost?
Northernmost? Edinburgh, Scotland. Southernmost? Not sure. Either somewhere in Arizona or San Diego, California. I haven't gone any more south than that yet, I'm afraid.
3) What is the last place you visited for the first time?
Dublin, Ireland.
4) Of all the places you've traveled, which is your favorite?
London, England, and Ireland. London is like a second home to me (even though I've only been twice) and Ireland is my ancestral home. I feel a spiritual connection to that place. Amsterdam was lovely as well. As was Scotland.
5) Where would you most like to travel to next?
Besides back to London? Japan, Korea, Greece, Italy, Egypt, and then the rest of the world.
