I've travelled a good portion of the US and western Europe, along with a few other countries. I've been to the tropics and the acrtic.
Growing up, I never thought that, as an adult, I would continue to live near where I grew up.
I've only seen two places more beautiful than the paradise where I was born. People come here and marvel at the surroundings. Some drop all plans and become residents immediately.
I chose to live where I grew up.
