I have to say, I’m not a traveler. I don’t really have a desire to branch out, although I have gone to Germany twice several years ago. I’m pretty content where I am.

There isn’t a single place in particular that I’m trying to avoid, but I avoid big cities at all costs. I hate them. I don’t even like the smaller cities near where I live. The closest one is thirty minutes away and I only go when I absolutely have to. I went to NYC for a week once and it was one of the most horrible experiences of my life. The subway gave me an anxiety attack and I’m convinced taxi drivers are trying their best to give you whiplash. If you aren’t on any public transportation, you’re walking. I mean, what visitor could possibly drive in that nonsense anyway??

The city has nothing to offer that I’m actively trying to partake in. I love the open skies and green grass. I want to wake up to bird chirping and cows mooing, not traffic honking and trains choo-chooing. That kind of life is not for me.
