Houston, Boulder, and Edinburgh
Being a travel addict, it is EXTREMELY hard for me to pick favorites...I tend to fall in love with everywhere I visit. So, here is my best effort at picking today's favorites!Houston, Texas -
I was born in Houston in '96 and I think I will always end up going back no matter how far I travel. Growing up, I lived in a town called Sugar Land that's just south of Houston, but, if anyone asks, I say I'm from good ole' Houston. This is one of my favorite things about the city. There are several surrounding metropolitan areas full of diversity.
Boulder, Colorado -
I just returned from Colorado and completely fell in love. Something about the snow-capped mountains and the naturalistic lifestyle makes you leave all of your worries behind. It's the perfect place to escape to whether you are with your family or friends. Boulder was just close enough to spend a day in Denver and go snowboarding in Breckenridge. I will definitely be visiting again soon!

Edinburgh, Scotland -
Last summer, I finally persuaded my parents to let me study abroad and this is where I ended up. Edinburgh was the perfect place to go for my first time traveling alone. I would recommend it to anyone. The locals were helpful and would speak slow if they had a thick accent, the sights were breath taking, and transportation was a breeze. My month in Edinburgh truly lit my passion for traveling and prepared me for more difficult travel in the future.
What a great combination of near, not-quite-so-near, and far away places, Natalie! Super! Maybe you can use this class to plan a dream trip to India... it's always good to know where you want to go in case you get a phone call someday that says "Hey, you just won a free, all-expenses-paid trip to India!"

ReplyDeleteNatalie, thanks for sharing your favorite places. I haven't had the chance to visit any of them, unfortunately, but they look amazing. The photo from Edinburgh is breathtaking! That is wonderful that you were finally able to convince your parents to let you study abroad, given that this is your final semester at OU and I would assume studying abroad isn't an option in your program at TWU!
