Camel Trek,Turkey,Sept.2010

Forty one years old,in a relationship,live in Stalybridge,Cheshire,Nine miles north east of Manchester.Love to travel and visit different places at home and abroad,my dream is to have visited all the continents as ive only done two,Europe and North America.I work full time for Dhl on night shifts and my keen intrests other than travel are movies,photography,some sports,computers,reading and ebay,im a keen seller and enjoy the thrill of selling just as much as the money ha.I was born in Oldham and have lived here for most of my life apart from the four months i lived with my grandma in Canada in 1995/96.

Favorite places

Times square,New York City

A tough one this as its hard to compare certain places as they are so different in many ways e.g-Times square New York cant be compared to ancient ruins in Crete or Cyprus.So il have to name a few of my favorites.New york city is one of my favorite cities as is Paris,Barcelona and Athens and another gem is Luxembourg city so beautiful.Niagara falls in Canada is my favorite tourist landmark as is Knossos in Crete and the navigators statue in Lisbon,all are truly breathtaking,there as as close to narrowing it down as i could get.

Experiences

Rocky Mountains,Canada

In my early twenties i went on two big backpacking tours with friends,one across Canada visiting six provinces in just under a month,the other a wirlwind train trek round Europe in Two weeks visiting eight countries.Both were fantastic and i recommend to anyone thinking of doing this a complete must,its i real eye opener and broadens your horizons.

Congrats! Thanks for Verona; I wasn't hugely taken with the place, to be honest..too tourist-focused. I much preferred Padova. :-)

I wonder what the camel was thinking... the way he looked at both of you and the VT-Flag :)

Planning Lancater - there's a special rail ticket offer for riding on the Leeds - Carlisle/Morecombe lines so I'm planning to visit there and also Carlisle and Carnforth. Need to find dates when to go which is a struggle at the moment. See you next week!x
