I am rich. I'm visiting Europe and staying at a nice hotel. I'm in Paris. I've been to Paris twice. I like traveling with a partner.
I know how to cook and bake. I used to live by the ocean. I love to travel. I don't have the money for travel. I have dogs. I have been to Europe. Haven't had enough money to leave the country as an adult. I have a job.
Where are you planning on traveling next if you had the money? I would like to visit Iceland one day. I know its all the rage right now, but it just appeals to me. Is there any place you've always wanted to go? I would like to visit Italy.  I'd love to see the art there.  What would you want to do in Iceland? Italy is on my list too. Just to be near the ocean sipping coffee sounds wonderful. In Iceland I would rent a Jeep for a week or two and go exploring. I love the freedom of that. It would be fun to explore.  I don't know if I would want to rent a vehicle in Italy.  I think I would find the traffic and the way they drive too unnerving.  Trains, planes, but please no automobiles! Hahahaha well put. Yes I have heard driving in Italy is dangerous for an outsider. Every time I see a documentary on Italy the streets are so narrow and I think how do two cars past each other? Italy for me is more stay put and really relax while getting to know the locals. I agree.  I could spend a month or two just in Rome and still not see it all.  One of my favorite things to do when I travel is to go to small restaurants that don't get a lot of traffic tourist.  It is a great way to learn about the people. That's a great approach and makes complete sense if you think about it. You have to wonder what all the locals think about us tourists. I try not to be THAT tourist, but I suspect I still am :) Who are you hoping to go to Italy with? I have a friend I've known for 20 years that I would like to travel there with.  Her ancestors came from there and she actually has distant relatives still living in Italy.   That sounds wonderful for both of you. She gets her wish and you really get the full experience. Her relatives will probably pull out the red carpet for you both. I have heard that they do like to feed guests.  Nothing like authentic food and experiences!  Maybe they can teach me some good Italian phrases to say. Know you speaking Italian would really freak me out. Now I want to go to Italy before Iceland... hmmm.
