Traveling: The thing I hate to admit here (but will) is I grew up in New Jersey. Small little town, two traffic lights (count 'em!) and horses and chickens on the farm. LOL But when I turned 18 I high-tailed it OUTTA THERE and moved to New York motherfucking CITY yo!
Then I started traveling the world. Literally went all the way around it, flying from New York to Europe to Asia to Australia to South America then back home to New York. Since then I've traveled to Europe 10 times, Asia 4 times, South America twice and India twice. Know what I discovered over these many years, many miles and many countries?
This: There are literally hundreds (if not thousands) of wonderful places to live, with great weather, wonderful food, awesome people and natural beauty all around you.
Unfortunately, Russia, Serbia, Fuckmestan and all the other 3rd world shitholes ain't one of them. Sorry Ivan.
Carry on.
