I adore any chance I can get to travel. Near, far, I love seeing new sites and experiencing new things. And museums are big on the list!

I really enjoy books about different places, too. Travel docs and specials help me go places I could never hope to see in real life. As does hearing another person's take on where they've been. It comprises a big part of the stuff life is made of, I feel.

I feel that off the beaten track is better than huge tourist draws, too. Although, I actually really DID enjoy a visit to Santa Fe (which is very small, and which another artist friend warned me would be "too touristy and kitschy", for me). I found it charming and special, and would even go back there again, given the chance, and still do some more discovering.

In the States, I've been to New England (many times), New York City (four times), the Adirondacks (twice), Colorado (3 times), Kentucky (twice), Pennsylvania (lived there for a year), New Mexico, Texas, Florida, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, and N. Carolina.

In Canada, I've been to Northern Ontario (Algonquin Park), and New Brunswick, as well as Toronto---and many trips back and forth to Niagara Falls.

I was able to spend 3 months in Greece when I was rather young, and stayed at the home of some very good friends. I was treated to 2 weeks in Athens, and will never forget it. That was a magical trip.

I would love to do more travelling. I'd especially love to hit the British Isles, and select places in Europe.

Finances have been tricky and prohibitive for a long time, though.

The dream of getting out and doing more does help keep me going, however.
