jgemini65's VirtualTourist Home Page

Traveling is all I have ever wanted to do...I spent my childhood memorizing maps, collecting penpals, and reading National Geographic! I am living out my dreams!!

by the way...all my pages are continually under construction!

Thanks!

One more thing...I travel with my mother and my daughter...they are also VT members...so...sometimes we have the same photos on our sites! So if you visit and think that maybe...hmmm...might have see the same obscure shot before, that is why!! For better or worse, all images are of my doing...either photos or ephemera...I have personally collected!



FAVORITE PLACES...

What a difficult thing to list...
1. Belfast..and all of Northern Ireland
2. Seattle, Wa., and all of the Olympic Penninsula
3. Paris, France...but of course!
4. San Francisco, CA., it has everything! YAHOO...will be visiting in September!!!!
5. Amsterdam...it just continually grows on you!!
6. Berlin...a city I want to continue to explore!!
7. Acapulco, Mexico...for complete relaxation!
8. The vastness of the Oregon High Desert.
9. The Pacific Ocean
10. Any movie theater
and, to only hoping that this list will always grow!

This is my favorite photo of myself! I am seventeen and still believed anything was possible!!
In other words...nothing has changed! I always dream big!!

It has been so difficult to travel like I want to! However, I think I am back on track! Looking forward to a huge and challenging trip this next spring! Just can't decide between Asia and South America!

You wouldn't know it...but I am sitting on the grass in front of The Statue Of Liberty! Might not seem like a big deal to most people...but it was something that I had wanted to do my whole life! Many of my experiences that I share on VT are just that...things/dreams that I have been able to live out! Hooray! Really, if we can't live out our dreams, small or large, what is the point!

This is from the winter my daughter and I lived in my 30ft Airstream! At one point we became iglooed...quite the adventure, though not one I am that eager to repeat! When you have to sleep under a foot of blankets, your water glass freezes solid every night, your Ipod dies from constant freezing, and 40 dollars of propane never makes a dent...IT IS COLD!!! I now have a new bike and I look at the airstream in the backyard from the warmth of my home!!

Another dream realized! I had yearned to see the Causeway for years! And I made it! This is actually shot at nearby Dun Luce Castle! I am holding on to my hat out of need...not effect!

Looking at the temple of the sun...the line was huge to get up this thing so I people watched and enjoyed the day!

Without a doubt one of my favorite places on earth and one of the most thrilling trips of all time!

My daughter and my boyfriend riding off in front of me into Ponderosa State park! This is absolutely one of the best things about summer in the mountains! It only took me 4 years to find something I truly liked about living here! It is just too bad that summer is so short at this elevation!
