The World Travel Thread

[louielouie2000]

I've been nearly everywhere in the US, but have never been out of the country. I've always felt I should try to fully absorb my own country before I tackle others. Anyway, I've decided whenever I can afford it, my first trip out of the country will be to Spain. I may throw in Portugal as well.

Spain has long fascinated me. It seems most everyone I've ever known has always focused on France, Italy, and England. I've never really had a desire to see any of those. Spain just seems much culturally richer, and more in tact than any of the aforementioned to me. I think the country's infamous, checkered past is fascinating. I love Spain's colorful art, mystical music, expressive food, and amalgamate architecture. Spaniards just seem so passionate about life, about enjoying it to it's fullest extent. Work is seemingly secondary to food, drink, art, and relationships. I can't wait to go!!
