What place have you visited or lived that is most memorable and why?

I have lived in Finland as a children's nanny, been to Australia on a working holiday and studied in the Netherlands. In Australia it was my working holiday visa that made me move jobs quite often. I was allowed a maximum of three months with the same employer. I loved living in Sydney and it became my favorite city. I adored seeing the white sails of the opera house and the gray harbor bridge. I liked walking in the botanical gardens and there I met many friendly parrots.

When I was little, we lived in Nevada. We were only about 60 miles from Las Vegas. I loved it there because when I looked out my windows or went outside, I saw beautiful mountains all around me. The air was fresh and the sky was clear. At night, the stars were so bright in the sky. I remember staring out my bedroom window plenty of nights looking st the stars. Being so close to Las Vegas, we went here a few times too, and that was a blast. I would like to go back to visit that area some day and take my kids up ointo the same mountains I got to explore as a child.
