Northern america

A couple of years ago I made a pact with two different friends that we would do a roadtrip of America (continent) when we finished uni. Life happened and I ended up in Sydney while both of them are now in America, one in Mexico and Rose (above, with friend Livvy who is visiting her) in Vancouver.

I did make it to Hawaii last year which was one of the highlights of my life and is almost America. See: Swimming with a liger of the sea & Hawaii’s whitehose.

There are so many places I want to go in America, but the ones at the top, top the list:

There is nothing in the world I have ever wanted to see more than this phenomenon. I will spend as long as it takes in Alaska or Scandinavia to see the Borealis.

Ok so this is on everyone’s list, that doesn’t make it any less exciting. I often have dreams about being in NYC.

I could happily live in Portland, or Seattle. I think I really like the city because so many bands I love are from there and they all give it great reviews.

My Grandma had a poster of Canada when I was young and I was always fascinated by Nova Scotia, maybe because Anne of Green Gables lives there. Either way it is “hauntingly beautiful”.

There is something fascinating about ghost towns, especially when they are very new and people still live in them. I would like to see Detroit before it is reposed.

Of course there are many more places I would like to see Washington DC, Boston, Lincoln, Wilmington, Vancouver, Toronto etc… What are your top picks for Northern America?
