"Chaistarr's world!" chaistarr's Profile


I like photography...

Califrnia has many fabulous beaches; most people envision the combed sandy beaches, boardwalks, piers, surfers, and suntans of Southern California's beaches such as Huntington.

But central and northern california have rugged beautiful beaches, such as seen here.

about me and my VT pages.....

Let's see...about me.....
I'm a travel nut of course. I'm married. I'm a school teacher. bla bla bla. (You will find out more about me.....just read on....visit my travel pages...)

You might ask yourself, what are Chaistarr's favorite VT pages that she created? Oh, I cannot decide! But I can give some suggestions....

If you want to see pages on the places I know best...places I have lived, visit my pages about
Yucaipa (my current town), Redlands (college town),
Running Springs (where I grew up).

If you want nature photography, visit my pages of
Sedona
Crestline
davenport

Cultural or historical pages..
Saratoga (japanese garden)
Deer creek (n process of being built! about Indian rock carvings)
Japan (any of my Japan pages)
Plymouth (plymouth rock!)
Portsmouth
Salzburg
Linz

Don't forget to visit my other pages as well! :)

I WANT POSTCARDS!!!!!!

i WANT POSTCARDS!!! see my album below (books, postcards i want...) for info on what cards I want :) so please send me postcards!

***ABOUT ME***

MY DREAM JOB>>>>

to be an ethnographic travel writer, that is, write about my travels but really focus on the cultural part.
but oh well thus far, I'm just a public school teacher, stuck in a job that has more downs than ups.
I feel through travelling i will find something. an epiphany, enlightement, the answer. I know theres something im seeking with travel and that i will find it, but i dont know what "it" is yet.
I think travelling is the best thing ...well one of....that a person can do to enrich their lives.

c*
-------places i want to travel------
costa rica, brazil, paraguay, guyana, fr. guiana, chile, peru, malawi, egypt, morocco, iran, pakistan, india, thailand, cambodia, china, mongolia, malaysia, new guinea, new zealand, indonesia, japan, russia, finland, norway, iceland, ireland, spain, yugoslavia, kyrzhkstan, probably more places!

than knowledge." - Albert Einstein

"I know you love the sun And shiny people But don't forget the rain And the great feeling of a sweet depression" -Poem on a Monument in Vienna

Strange is our Situation Here Upon Earth. einstein

Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding. einstein

Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.
Soren Kierkegaard (1813 - 1855)

afghanistan....before even the war with russia...bet none of these buildings still exist. sad i think. i remember as a child looking at the wrinkled landscape of afghanistan on my touchy-feely globe. i'd never heard of afghanistan so i wanted to go. i still wanna visit the less-viisted places on earth. the road less travelled has mysteries to offer to those who chose to open their hearts to such discovery.

one of my postcards by a famous photographer but I forget his name!

states I've been to

I really need to see some more states in my own country! :)

    Is that you wedding picture? Do you usually have blue furry feet? or was it a cold day/ the groom trod on them during the wedding dance, or just something borrowed that happened to be blue? Do tell!
