Ok, so here's my limited list (life goal: build it up!): USA (Coast to Coast and up and down both), Canada (Quebec, Nova Scotia), Mexico, Ireland, England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, and Italy.

I've traveled with large tour groups and small groups of friends. There are pros and cons to traveling both ways but which ever you prefer is fine...just go.

Research before hand or just wing it... just go. Remember: have fun, try something new each trip, be polite, take pictures, and be safe. Just go.

Side note: please don't be one of those "annoying tourists", nobody likes them!

Below are some highlights I've experienced; it's mainly a list of cities but I'd also recommend getting out into the open air and rocking out in the country side:

 

 


NYC: Great to visit, explore, and enjoy...however not somewhere I want to live (right now anyways). The majority of my college friends still live there and love it!

The Met, the Park, and Broadway...Check it out!


Boston: Lived in Beantown while attending Grad school and working. Awesome city: food, drinks, sports, theatre, history, everything. It's a young crowd and a lot of rich kids, which can get annoying but there are enough down and out "normal" bars/places to escape to. Check out Our House in Allston, Christopher's in Cambridge, Upper Crust in Brighton, and Whiskeys and Remmington's in Downtown.


Portland: Small but awesome! Recently visited this past summer with my boyfriend and a friend and loved it! Union Jack's club is stellar, as is every restaurant we went to. Definitely my favorite West Coast city!


L.A: Fun to visit (once). Not a huge fan of So. Cal but worth checking out. Pros: great weather, good food, and the Hollywood sign. Cons: it's L.A.


Montreal: Beautiful city, great food, and charming people. If only it wasn't in Canada...just kidding! I love Canada.


Dublin: Guinness and Jamieson breweries...need I say more?! I went St. Patty's weekend two years ago and it was amazing/ super crowded. Check out Trinity College and the Book of Kells, amazing!!


London: Theatre, food, drinks, and more theatre! I was there for New Year's a few years back and it was crazy/great! Tons of people, lots of drinking, and parties. The city is rad but expansive! Side note: make sure to check out the museums!


Paris: Amazing food... and health services facilities (I had an emergency appendectomy there and trust me when I tell you they are awesome!)
