Travel

[JHyde]

I went looking for a thread on this subject and was stunned we hadn't made one already.

A few threads have started to trend toward discussion of travel, either already taken, or where we'd like to go, and I thought it would be nice to have a place to talk about it specifically.

Especially given we have people here from all over, we should take advantage of local knowledge. So if you're travelling somewhere soon and would like to know all the good places to go, post here and I'm sure someone has either been there or lived there and can help you out!

Given how many languages I've studied (not to mention history) and yet have never travelled outside of NSW (the Australian state I've grown up in), travelling is something I really want and almost need to do. I most want to visit Spain and India, also Turkey and Iran. My best friend may well be studying at Oxford as of next September, in which case I will visit England with her, and then maybe Wales, Ireland and Scotland too.

And I want to see the States properly. I'd really like to drive down from Alaska to California and see that part of the country that way then head off and visit other parts by train and air. There is American culture if you look hard enough, I know.
