the wandering chick
...England
the countryside

I have been to London several times and always enjoyed it, as there are so many different areas of it to explore. But it wasn't until the year before I was leaving my job in Germany that I traveled the English countryside.

Oh, my...what a pity. I still long to go back. The backroads, out of the hustle and bustle of city life, are so much more my travel style.
