The good, the bad, and the ugly  | | I love to travel. It's one of my passions, but for many reasons, I haven't been able to do much of it in the last few years. Things are changing, though, and I think in the next year or so, I'm going to be able to start making trips again.
I have definite plans to visit three places in the next year that I have not been to; Ontario, Australia, and Costa Rica. But, other than that, I'm open to suggestion.
What I want from you all is to tell me at least one thing about where you live; city, state, country, that would entice me to visit. I would also love to know at least one thing that might entice me to move there, because I haven't decided where I want to settle permanently yet. I have a few ideas but nothing definite.
Also, please tell me one thing that might deter me from living in your city, state, country.
I'm looking forward to your responses.

The one thing that will entice you to where I live IS, . . . . . . . . . . . ME.

Goodie123 (7548) | 1 year ago | Oops the one thing that will most likely deter you is, . . . . . . . . Mr Piggy, he's a real pig.

Goodie123 (7548) | 1 year ago | Well with the cost of gas the way it is, it will most likely cost you $2,000 to drive to Ontario.
And Mr Piggy always behave himself, he is just a Pig.

| | 2. snowy22315 (8100) | 1 year ago | I live in Virgnia which is a beautiful state with alot of things to do. As a deterrent it is often quite hot and humid here and parts of the state near Washington DC are expensive and crowded. It is worth visiting here though to see if you like it. There is alot of history and you will never run out of things to do.

| | 4. makingpots (6662) | 1 year ago | First of all, when are you going to Costa Rica and can I go with?
You would have a blast visiting my area. North Texas, Dallas/Ft. Worth area. It has a little of it all. Whatever you are into it can be found here except maybe snow skiing. But even then, with a world class airport, you can get to snow skiing in a matter of hours.
Living here is truly ideal. It gets quite hot in the summer and if long, snow covered winters are your prefference, it is not the place to be. But the area I am in has it all I truly believe it. Lots of lakes, driving distance to woodlands, the ocean, mountains and prairies. With one of the worlds top international airports, and weather that basically never shuts it down, it is possible to be on a flight to anywhere within hours of deciding to go. The career opportunities are out of this world with international headquarters of numerous corporations in the area. The cost of living is among the best in the nation.
I love, LOVE, love many other areas of this beautiful country of ours and have dreamed of moving to many of them.... but I have come to realize that I have it all here and enjoy visiting the areas I love on a regular basis. The affordable cost of living helps to give that 'best of both worlds' dream.
Come visit me, faith, it's nice out here.

itsmefaith (2236) | 1 year ago | It is a pretty amazing country we live in, makingpots, I agree!!
Thank you for such a great description of where you live. I have been to the Dallas area only once, and I have been to Houston once. I don't think I could live there because it's too hot but I would like to visit again.
One of my best friends is from Costa Rica and he said it only costs $150 to fly there, so we're going to take a long weekend sometime this year and go. He's going for Xmas but he goes pretty frequently.

| | 5. someonesmom (2275) | 1 year ago | Hi faith, 
I'm so happy to hear that you're still planning your trip to Ontario. I know that there are several others, who are looking forward to this too, so hopefully we can all get together at least once. Of course, the two of us can still hang out too, if there's time. Something to entice you to move 'here?' Well, let's see. You already have friends here, and it's a really picturesque, lovely part of our country. On the negative side, we do have really hot, humid summers, and our winters are bone chilling cold. We set a record for the most snowfall since the forties, last winter. Happy traveling. By the way, I'm so pleased to see Australia on your list of destinations. Take care.

itsmefaith (2236) | 1 year ago | Hi someonesmom,
I do plan to somehow make it out there in the coming year so I will let you know when!
The bone chilling cold does not bother me nearly as much as the hot and humid. I know you had a mild summer, this year though, right?

| | 7. fjaril (4170)  | 1 year ago | Sverige, as we call her, is ancient, but has been on the history books since 700AD because of the Vikings and therefore the history of this land and its people is wonderful and also painfully sad at times.
We have one of the highest standards of living in all of Europe, as well as a modern parliamentary democracy which has been in place since the end of World War. We are a reserved proper cooperative folk for the most part, many of whom have made history and even won notoriety around the world. We have also the Svea Hovratt building, where the Court of European Justice meets regarding EU matters. We have incredible landscape and seacape and skies and wildlife to uplift and ground a person to where he ought to place his respect.
To move here you must prove you are able to sustain yourself in the longterm,, the entry requirements are strict, as I believe they are also in other countries We have a mass of asyllum seeking immigrants from many different countries in Africa and the Middle east here becuase of wars on their countries and it is at times a stressful difficult situation for all concerned as the adjustments are tremendous. I do not want to live elsewhere, but I do wish that my land would not be damaged and soiled by those who come and live here but do not feel the respect that Swedes do. I talk here about things like graffitti everywhere and burned cars and bikes in the woods and stolen bikes and children toys and garbage bags flung anywhere for birds and small animals to spread the filth in to the environment and people who never try to work but demand a handout and get it automatically for each and every child no matter what and actually can make this a living while they sit in cafe's served by swede's who have to work to support their own.. And the shots ring out and people know again where from and that yet another displaced unhappy immigrant lies on the ground. I really got off ón a tangent here.. and it wasn't the meaning and I think I must go out and work the land.. best for me now.

itsmefaith (2236) | 1 year ago | OMG, I typed out a whole response to you, posted and it went in to myLot oblivion with some odd server error!
Anyway…
You did not go off on a tangent. You made me want to visit your beautiful country even more than I did before. And, truthfully it’s somewhere I have always wanted to go. The pictures of the landscape and everything are always so breathtaking.
I can also relate to your feelings of disgust and frustration at the desecration of your land. We are America the beautiful in so many places, but immigrants and natives alike have taken it upon themselves to destroy much of our beauty and it’s very sad to see.
Thank you for showing me your passion for your home, fjaril! I promise I’ll treat it well if I come to visit.
