Hi everybody!
I have a question for you all. I see that the members here are all from different parts of the world, with many having moved overseas and made a life in a new country.
So I'd like to know where you're all from. I'm a small town, Montana-born American girl with Hungarian roots who now lives in Washington state. I know there's a few on here from the same region as me and there's quite a few Aussies too so I'd love to know where you're all from.
Oh also, I'm really interested in travel which I've been told is very unusual for an American 🤔 So far I've visited Britain, Germany, Italy, Greece, France and India. So if I go to visit your country, what places should I visit?
I'm guessing this is really two questions! 😉
I hail from Colchester in Essex, England but I've been living in America for over two years now. I've been having a great time travelling around America and seeing as much of the country as I can though I haven't been as far west as MT yet.
I also think it's lovely seeing people on here from all over the world who have all been brought together through a common fascination with nostalgia. I'm surprised because I thought there'd be a lot of Brits like me but we've got quite a diverse group on here which is great because we all bring different viewpoints to the table. Though I do think that the Aussies are winning at the minute!
A lot of Brits would scoff at the idea of things to see in Essex, (it's a Brit thing!) But really we aren't doing so bad with the old tourist attractions! Essex has a lot to offer. You've got your coastal areas, farms and countryside, happening night life in the busier parts of the county. In my hometown there's Colchester Castle, if you like the beaches there's Southend or Clacton, you can visit places like Waltham Abby or Epping Forest where you can go camping.
As someone who enjoys travel and visiting new places, this really is a great question and should hopefully inspire me to see some new sights!
