I, for one, have a strange and obsessive love for travel. Even if it's only driving to some random town in the foothills to escape the constant smog surrounding my hometown, I feel much more at peace anywhere that is not home. This seems to be the exact opposite of everyone I know. Does anyone else feel this way?

I'm happy at home, but I am also certainly fond of travel, which I have been fortunate enought to do a bit of recently. My favorite spots are Cambridge, England; Florence, Italy; Vancouver, British Columbia; Concord, Massachusetts; and Colorado Springs, Colorado (my beautiful hometown).

I'm also afflicted by the old "itchy feet".
in the last 6 months I've been to 3 (well 4 if you count Europe) continents in the form of Western Australia, Malaysia, Japan and the USA.
I've been everywhere in the British isles (Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland and every corner of England), and "the continent" (France, Germany, Turkey, S. Ireland).
I've surfed in every ocean (excluding the arctic, or "freak" ocean), and would like to have every continent under my belt before im 30 (or even 25!) - excluding the Antarctic, or "freak" continent!
sights are now set on Columbia or Venezuela, Hong Kong and South Africa for my next few trips. im counting on politics to take me atleast some of the way mind.
Far and away the most moving trip for me was that to Japan. I loved every last thing about the country (well, i could forget about a few drunken business men). I was there for 2 weeks and every day was overwhelming in how much i did or learned. one day i'd go to sleep watching the red lights of the Tokyo sky scrapers twinkle in the night. another night id be stood on a balcony overlooking a mist filled wooded river valley, sipping sake after my first dip in a volcanic spring. then another I'd sit and stare through teary eyes at the sunset mountains around Hiroshima bay.

Yes, both of you have traveled to places I consider very impressive, as I have yet to have left North America, not even for Hawaii. Random information: my friends decided that when a guy I know and I were gone from school the same days and came back on the same day that we must have eloped in Hawaii. After returning from being sick three days I was attacked by friends upset that they hadn't been invited to the wedding. A conclusion from this random bit of information: Ania has strange and magnificent friends.
