Favourite Places

Inspired by Cazzie’s question from yesterday of “What has been my favourite place?”, I would have to say the following are my Top 5 :

1. Cancun, Mexico – I LOVE all things Mexican – tequila, margaritas, jalapenos, burritos, fajitas, chilli, tostadas, nachos, Corona, Dos Equis etc etc.
So when you combine all of that, friendly people, 30+ degrees heat, on a coastal town with magnificent beaches and clear water, than I am in heaven.

2. Los Angeles, USA – I really like LA and up to Santa Barbara. I like the location, the lifestyle and the excitement of LA and the beauty of Santa Barbara.

3. The Rockies, Colorado, USA – I have been very fortunate to go skiing in Colorado at Breckenridge and Keystone on two separate occasions. The skiing is phenomenal, especially compared to the crap in Australia, and the scenery is breathtaking. But don’t get me wrong, it was bloody cold, dropping to -25c on several days.

4. London, UK. I have a love / hate relationship with London. I really enjoyed living over there, the culture, the history, the closeness to Europe, trekking through the city and finding new bars / pubs / stores.

And finally, at number 5 (and I’m going to cheat here), I would have to say Europe. I really like Amsterdam for its culture, canals and architecture, Biarritz for combining surf and all things French, and Switzerland as a whole country for its sheer beauty. I also really enjoyed my time working in Belgium – exploring new cities, new foods and new beers every day.

Notable mentions – Dallas, Singapore, Hong Kong, New York, Melbourne & Sydney
