    Born and raised in the U.S... I have been everywhere from the Hawaiian Islands, Alaska, West Coast and East Coast. My overseas travels have brought me through several countries in Europe, the Middle East (current) and Southwest Asia and I want to hit up Africa... like Tangier in Morocco or a Safari tour in Kenya soon. And deffinitly visit South America someday.

    So far, inside the US: I like the Southwest. I like the people, how easy it is to fit in as a new guy and the climate. I least like the East Coast, particularily the Baltimore/DC area... people seem way too stressed out and too distracted to enjoy anything.

    Overseas... I have really enjoyed the really old and historical areas in Cyprus, Greece and Macedonia. Many of the people are very nice and the food is good. Lebanon was also facinating and I hope that country can work itself out of all the problems so I can safely revisit it again someday. I like visting and temporarily living in places overseas - but I will always intend to live in the US... I hold my American passport tight in my travels!

    Nice. Not a bad travel plan.

It seems to be a wild element there and plenty of quaint characters walking the seaport. You can even drink on the streets and the front of bars are completely open to the streets. Seafood aplenty.

    Of all the places I've lived and visited, however, I'd have to say my favorite place was New Paltz, NY. I love upstate NY - the rent was affordable, the trails (I did alot of running through the nineties) were cool and if you like climbing, there's some of that up there. But there was something so inspiring about the mountain ridge that dwarfed that town. Plus, you can go to the nude part at split rock were you can get naked, get baked (to increase your appetite for bodybuilding, of course), and just get lost in the woods. Good times! I like that kind of environment over the suburbs of LI, NY. You just feel closer to nature up there whereas on LI, you have to many SUV's and strip malls. New Paltz will always be a part of me.
    Hey WTF


    I Have been to quit a few places as well. I love the Bahamas. If i was to move to an island that would be the one. Other the Bora Bora but that will never hapen.

    Anywhere but Houston.
    S.E. Alaska is unparralled if your into the wilderness along with the ocean and wildlife. Anywhere in the Oceana Islands would be nice too.

    Alaska is beautiful with lots of wildlife - and great tax breaks - BUT... the rotating daylight and the sometimes scarce nightlife would get me diggin' for something else pretty quick. My Alaska experience was a few weeks in late winter two years back-to-back. It was crazy how they were gaining nearly 10 minutes of daylight a day... and in the summer the sun eventually never sets before you start losing daylight all over again. In the winter the sun just flirts with the horizon. Plus, many nights I found Fairbanks (majority of my stays) and Anchorage basically empty... nobody around... nothing to do. And it was frickin' cold! It could be that Alsakan summer's are a lot more active than the winters but either way, I couldn't do it. Wouldn't want to live there. But for seeing wildlife and the ocean/rivers - fo' sho!

    I knew a guy who had lived there a few years told me he came home from work one day... took a nap, woke up and starting mowing his lawn. He got a phone call from his neighbor- screaming at him, "Why the fuk are you mowing at 3 in the morning!" Pffft... he didn't realize he had slept that long. He said it's easy to burn yourself out in the summer - and then sleep all winter...

    Lived out there a few years. Finding work depends on who you know, what type of work you want or how much money you intend to make... and sometimes, how well you can speak Japanese (more so than the native Hawaiian language) Being of an Asian decent (or with those characteristics) helps there too...
