Tell us if you like travelling, and if you do explain your experiences, pros and cons or whatever you want to express.
I'm from Spain and I've been to: Nicaragua, Japan, Turkey, Egypt, Portugal, UK (England and Wales), France, Italy, Hungary, Austria and Slovakia.
United Kingdom: I lived 6 years in London. Great experience, I just needed to start a new life from zero. London has so many downsides, I didn't think much of it as a turist and for most people it's not a city you want to live all your life in. BUT, it's so different and interesting to live for a few years. Life is frenetic and you find people from all backgrounds and nationalities, it's probably the most international city in the world. I made a lot of friends from everywhere. So many crazy things can happen to you here, I'm not gonna talk too much of my life there. I learnt English, got a degree, saved money and met my future wife.
Other than that, I've been to Manchester (meh) , Liverpool (beautiful centre, ugly outskirst), Chester (nice for a few hours) and Wales. I lived in Wales for a few months before deciding I liked dealing with people more than with sheep and going to London. Still, I made a very good friend there and we're still in contact.
Japan: A bit of a long story. I met this Japanese girl in London, and we started a thing five days before she had to fly back to Japan. I wanted to end it after those five days, but then decided it would be nice to visit her for a couple of months in Japan and see where it goes from there. Now I'm married to her, so...
I was in Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Hiroshima, Enoshima and Yokohama. I absolutely loved it, it's so crazy and different, you want to visit it not only for sightseeing (which is also great) but because of how different culture is. Kyoto was the most beautiful place and Tokyo the most interesting.
I'm gonna live in Japan for a few years with my wife, leaving this summer.
Nicaragua: My mum works there for an NGO and I decided to pay a visit (straight after I left Japan). I was in León, Granada and Ometepe. We had a bat and a huge lizard (50cm at least, I swear) living in the kitchen. It was different and interesting to live there a month, life is nothing like in developed countries. Also, they are sexually very active, lol, it seems everyone has an affair with everyone. I was kind of sexually assaulted by a guy, he tried to touch me down there, so I had to push him away.
Turkey: I was just in Istambul for a week. A city with a lot of history, so it's nice if you're into that. I wouldn't go back after that one time though.
Egypt: Wow, I loved it. Need to go back. I just loved the ruins. When the Romans conquered Egypt the temples and pyramids where older then than Roman ruins are today, it makes my head explode. A civilization that lasted sooo long and an amazing mythology and architecture. I went from the south of the country to Cairo through the Nile river, wherever there was some interesting things to see. Downside: everyone is trying to sell you something aaaaaall the time. You have to get used to that.
Portugal: I was in Porto and stayed a couple of weeks in Villa Praya d'âncora (or something like that). Porto was beautiful and staying in the town was relaxing. Great food, especially fish.
France: I live about 1h away from the border so I've been to many towns in French Pays Basque. I have crossed the pyrenees by bicycle a couple of times. I've been to Paris twice and I've got friends there, so the last time I spent 20 euros in 5 days, lol. Paris is amazing, it's huge, grand, and you can walk aimlessly for ages and enjoy.
Italy: I've been to Rome, Venice, Florence, Pisa and Milan. Milan has nothing of interest bar the cathedral. Rome is nice if you like ancient history, like Egypt, but the number of tourists, people trying to get your money, noise and horrible traffic are annoying. Trastevere in really nice. I loved Venice, predestrian city and so nice to get lost there. Beautiful. Same with Florence. Pisa is just the tower and cathedral.
Hungary: Budapest is amazing, I was there a couple of days and it wasn't enough, beautiful city.
Austria: Vienna is definitely in my top 3 cities in Europe, it's just beautiful and life seems great there. I was only there for a day unfortunately, I'd also like to go back.
Slovakia: I had the hotel in Bratislava and commuted to Budapest and Vienna, just because it was cheaper that way. The beauty of the city is inversely proportional to the beauty of the girls there... and the girls are super beautiful. Post Sovietic ugly concrete buildings.
No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.
