National Blog Posting Month

Where have you wandered?

Hey,

My name is kyle and I'm excited about this month. I also think this is a fun group. I thought it would be cool to do a roll call to say where we live or list an exotic location we've visited.

I live in northwest China.

I'm doing some traveling for the first two weeks (now) and will be settling down in a bit and taking some intensive spanish classes. It's been an intense couple of days, getting used to getting around here but it's also been exhilirating.

oh yeah...i've also spend three months in europe, traveled to every state and province of canada, and parts of central and south america. i can't sit still.; ▶ Reply to This

I visited Beijing for twelve days this summer. I'm trying to photoblog every day for this month. You can find my blog at China Sights.; ▶ Reply to This

Great that you mention China because I think I'm going there next summer (as part of a student travel program). This past summer we went to Australia, which I adored and where I would love to live. Additionally, I've been to many places in Europe, including Prague, Amsterdam, and the Pelopponese in Greece. My favorite place on the planet so far in Paris (I've been five times, I think), although Athens and the Whitsundays are close behind.
I live in NYC, USA.; ▶ Reply to This

I'm a travel addict as well. I went to grad school in the UK, so had the opportunity to visit a lot of places in Europe. My main travel interest is the former USSR, but I'm up for going anywhere and would love to visit China and Japan someday. I'd say the strangest place I've visited so far was Chernobyl.; ▶ Reply to This

And I'm from NJ. Conveniently located near 5 international airports.; ▶ Reply to This

The last time I was in China was 2005 when I took a graduate course in Shanghai. I can't believe the contrasts between mainland China and its "Special Administrative Regions". If anyone has any Hong Kong tips I would love to hear them, I'm here through Sunday.

Some of my other favorite travel locations are Turkey, Hungary and the Greek islands.; ▶ Reply to This

I currently live in exotic Norfolk, VA (hehe), just moved here after 10 years in Phoenix and grew up in Louisiana. We always travelled growing up. Dad was born in Scotland and we went there as kids. I've been to 46 of the states (I've got the two tough ones, HI and AK). The next big trip is our Spring trip...deciding between a few places...Paris and Amsterdam or Norway. I've been to Paris and Amsterdam, but not Norway. My BF is new to traveling and we went on our first big trip this Spring to Prague, Krakow & Rome, and it was fabulous!!

I really want to explore Asia and S. America.; ▶ Reply to This

My name is Abby and I live in Los Angeles.

The most exotic location I've visitied is probably Heron Island in the Great Barrier Reef back in 2004. It's basically an island in the middle of the reef made from dried-up coral and is two hours by boat from the mainland. The best thing about the island is being able to swim straight off the beach to see coral and marine life. Now that I am finally have my SCUBA certification I can't wait to come back and visit the 20 dive sites around the island.

I'm originally from the Philippines and have lived in San Francisco and Los Angeles. I've visited only six US states but have also traveled to Australia, Fiji, Canada, England, France, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Czech Republic, Hungary, the Netherlands, and Germany. I love to travel and am always looking forward to the next adventure. Next year I am planning to visit China and the Philippines.; ▶ Reply to This
