Where is everybody from on here?

I was born in Coventry and lived there for almost twenty five years before heading up north where I still am. But Cov will always be my home. A lot of people think that there's not a lot going on in Cov but they're wrong. The Cathedral is definitely one of my favourite attractions. I was lucky enough to have got married in my hometown. But unfortunately it wasn't at Coventry Cathedral.

Unfortunately to be honest, if you’re from the US especially, there’s nothing much in Australia that an American would find interesting. It’s just like America except we drive on the opposite side of the road and have a slightly different accent.

I'm a Welsh girl who moved to London when I was in my twenties. I now live an hour's drive from Central London. I tend to steer clear of more touristy hotspots as I'm more of a 'hidden gem' kind of girl. Hitchin Lavender Farm is quite close to where I live. It's a small family run farm, and naturally being a gardener and a florist, I love it! It's calm, relaxing and so serene... must be all that lavender! They have a lovely little café and shop where you can buy some gorgeously fragranced goodies.

My Mountain Girl!

Well you already know the answers to your questions where I'm concerned. 😉 That's a very impressive list of countries you have visited. I'm pleased I got to go to some of those places with you and I'm sure our days of travelling are not yet over. 💘

Hi Mountaingirl. I was born in England but when I was a young child, my parents decided to move to France, so my sister and I grew up there and did our schooling over there. But these days, I'm more of a West Country girl as my husband and I decided to relocate there after leaving the rat race in London. The West Country is a region in the southwest of England that contains several old English counties. I know a lot of people here have mentioned Cornwall which is in the West Country but I'm going mention Bath which is a city in the county of Somerset (also in the West Country!) I don't know if you've ever heard of the Roman Baths there but that's quite a tourist attraction and from where the town gets it's name.

I'm from Hampshire in the South-East of England. There's loads of good things about Hampshire. You're not a million miles away from London for a start. We have great countryside and the beach at Portsmouth, not forgetting the funfair. Plus when it comes to history and the arts, good grief, where do I start!!! There's so much but just to begin with, if you're a Jane Austen fan you might want to visit her house!

Oh my! I am totally overwhelmed by all the responses to my question. I wasn't expecting so many of you to respond and it's so lovely to read all your posts, and to get to know you all a little more better. I also now have more ideas about where to go to when I next visit Europe, and yes Coffeebean, I have visited both the Falls and Crater Lake. Awesome sights! Though I'd probably have to return as my boyfriend has never been.

Thanks ladies 😘

Hi everyone. Complete newbie here and this is my very first post! I'm Rosie and I'm from London. My parents are from Ireland so since childhood I've visited many times and always have a great time going over there to see my family in Ireland.

If you're going to Ireland - it's got to be Killarney, a gorgeous, picturesque town in the SW of Ireland. In England it's got to be Cornwall which is a gorgeous, picturesque town in the SW of England! Furthermore Cornwall has a big Irish community there, so I love the connection between the two places. If you love history, then you can't go wrong with either place. Also Cornwall has beaches that will really blow you away. An absolute myth that you can't get beautiful beaches in Britain.

I'm a London girl who now lives in New England. Before that I'd lived in various parts of the UK and in Oregon as well when I moved out to the States. A lot of the places I moved to, well my stay there was relatively brief but at the time of moving, it was supposed to be my 'forever home'! During my married life, New England is the place I've stayed in the longest - so who knows this may well be the place I call home forever!

London may have a lot of problems but to me it's still home and I can't think of another city that's as bright, vibrant, buzzing and as cool as London! Although I'm sure everyone else will have their own opinion about that! 😉 There are lots of very interesting places to visit in London but I will mention Covent Garden in Central London which is something of a hang-out for me. If you want to go outside of London, then I suggest Bournemouth which is a coastal town in the south of England which is stunning, especially during the summer months.

I'm originally from Manchester in England - the same place Oasis are from! But I now live in Staffordshire which isn't far from my place of birth - little over an hours drive. Less if you go by train of course. So it means I get to see my family loads.

The place I live in now (Stoke) is very famous for it's pottery so a visit to the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery is worthwhile. And as for my hometown, well you can't go all the way to Manchester and not visit the football ground at Old Trafford. That'd be criminal! It doesn't matter if your a fan of football or not. And by football I do mean soccer! 😉⚽️

I'm from the same part of London like my good schoolfriend DonnaBella and now we both live in Sydney Australia. Can you believe that? 😊 No it was not planned. It was a complete coincidence though I did know she was out here because of Facebook. But whereas Donna is Irish, I come from a Caribbean background. It's great being on this site and seeing people from different countries here. That's great.

If you go to Australia you should go to the Gold Coast. I used to live there for a while. In England I think you should visit when the Notting Hill Carnival is on at the end of August every year.

I'm a Londoner of Irish descent (though I think of myself as Irish rather than English. Controversial!) but I moved to Sydney, Australia many years ago where I met my husband and had our two boys.

If you ask where to visit in London, I would Carnaby Street, especially if you like to shop. It's where my friends and I used to hang out when we were teenagers. But be warned - it's very busy!

In Ireland, I would suggest, the Guinness Storehouse. Come on it's Ireland - it's got to be done!

Hey girl! I'm one of those people who's also from the PNW. I'm from Oregon City, OR. Been here all my life. That might be boring for some people, but I'm a proud Oregonian, it's a great state and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else away from my family and friends.

There are so many cool things about Oregon as you probably know. But I don't feel you can come here without visiting Multnomah Falls or the breathtaking Crater Lake.

Hello - another Brit girl here! Like you I also love travel but then after spending my childhood in several different countries, that's to be expected. My mum is from the Far East and I have spent time living there too, returning to England when I was in my late teens.

One of my favourite places in Britain is the Cotswalds which is an area of England going towards Wales. It's so pretty and picturesque with this quaint charm, and very serene - pretty much what a lot of people expect of Britain. I've visited a few times and my kids really love it there.

British lady, half Italian with two half Brazilian kiddos! I still live in England but for a while I used to spend part of the year in Brazil. One day, perhaps when I'm old and grey, I might just retire out there as I love it.

As for where you should visit, well I'm going to get away from the more typically touristy London spots and suggest one of our beautiful British costal towns. I feel some of the best are along Cornwall in the South West of England.
