[edit] Who? Where?
I currently live in the suburbs of Seattle, Washington, in the most beautiful part of North America, the Pacific Northwest. While wanting to move here for many years, I only managed to finally do it in 2001. I moved here from New York City in the Spring of 2001, conveniently missing the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York City as well as the Nisqually earthquake in the Seattle area.
[edit] Places
- I was born in Berkeley, California just in time to be tear-gassed by Ronald Reagan near Peoples Park, but before I could remember anything, my family moved to
- Buffalo, New York, or at least the suburb of Williamsville, New York, where I grew up.
- For a year, my family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico. I was in fifth grade.
- After school, I spent three hedonistic years in Denver, Colorado, before moving to
- New York City's DUMBO, Brooklyn neighborhood, before finally moving to Seattle.
[edit] More Places
Some places I've enjoyed visiting include
- Yellowstone National Park
- Wallowa Mountains
- Paris
- Italy, especially Cinque Terre and Rome
- Vancouver
- The Canadian Rockies, especially Yoho National Park and Jasper National Park, and, on the way home Garibaldi Provincial Park.
- Most recently I took a month-long trip, for various reasons to Appalachia, by car from Seattle. The regions I enjoyed the most during the trip include the Flint Hills, The Ozarks, the Hiwassee River area, the Tellico River area, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Cumberland Gap, the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River, Savage Gulf, and the Sand Hills (Nebraska).

I've too many to list, but for a start:
