the travel bug

I love to travel.  I'm originally from the South Pacific, and half of my family lives in Australia (while the other half lives here in Canada - except for my parents, who live in Europe).  I have been crossing oceans since I was teeny tiny, but my first taste of real traveling came when I was 16.  I did a month long study abroad program in France, and took two weeks after to go to Prague and Warsaw.  This is when I truly fell in love with traveling.  When I was 20, I obtained a two year working holiday visa for the UK, and when I was 23 I moved to Hong Kong for two years. Oh, the stories I can tell!

Here are all the places I've been to (I've put the names of cities down only when I've been to that one city and not it's country):

Papua New Guinea (where I'm from)

Australia

Canada

America

China/Hong Kong

Hochiminh City

Singapore

Cambodia

Thailand

France

The UK/Ireland

Stockholm

Belgium

Spain

Portugal

Morocco

Switzerland

Prague (Praha)

Warsaw

I've now lived in Vancouver for over 3 years - that's the longest I've lived anywhere since I left home when I was 18.  Although I've settled here - for now - I'm starting to get the travel bug again.  But interestingly enough, although there's countries I still want to go to (I pretty much want to go to all of them), a lot of the places I want to visit right now are on my own continent (in no particular order):

Portland

Halifax

Bend, Oregon

Miami

New York City

Whitehorse

Chicago

San Francisco

Boston

New Orleans
