Favorite Place

Posted on June 27, 2013 by Turquoise Compass

Tobago

My favorite place in the world is the beach. People often debate about what the best place is, but for me there is no discussion. The beach is the ultimate spot. It doesn’t matter what country I visit, I often want to be at the beach. There is something magical and relaxing about being by the ocean. My mother always told me that I was a fish in the sea and never wanted to leave. I feel the same way now. It is as if my heart belongs to the sea.

My friends know my obsession with the beach and often question why I love it so much. There is something special about being by the sea that I cannot explain. Most of the countries that I’ve visited have incredible beaches that I’ve explored. I’ve been challenged by a few people to visit more destinations which main attraction is not the beach. I have visited many inland cities, colonial towns, and populated areas, and as beautiful as they were, my favorite places are always on the coast. I look forward to challenging myself to visit new and unique places that are not necessarily on the beach.

    I love London Zoo and the Aquarium and the theatre. I love Maxwells bar and grill in Covent Garden. I love East street Thai restaurant. I enjoy attending business seminars in London, they have amazing, famous entrepreneurs that provide a lot of inspiration and motivation. I love the fast and busy pace as it’s just my vibe and makes me feel at home and relaxed. I like the tubes when they are not delayed.

    As I don’t like flying, I tend not to venture out of England. I love London and feel very comfortable there so I visit about three times a year. Usually at least twice for business. The only other places I have been to is Jersey, Spain and Euro-disney in Paris. The last time I went to Euro-disney, I went by Eurostar. There are plenty of place in England that are beautiful with lots to see and do.

    No. Only the places I mentioned. I don’t like flying on a plane and since I have been single, I don’t have to. There are lots of other benefit to being single too. Like being able to go to London whenever I want.

    I always have so much fun traveling locally! You are always able to find unique places people might not normally know about. My boyfriend is a pilot so he flies almost every day and I don’t mind flying at all! But, I like being back on solid ground and being able to travel by foot and car too!

    A pilot, wow! Do you get free or discounted travel? The worse part of flying for me, is being in the air because I feel I am falling backwards.

    I don’t get free travel because he works for a flight college, but if he worked for a commercial airline I would. The trip we are taking today is paid for by his work because he needs to pick up a plane and bring urn back to East Coast! 🙂 I’ve been up flying with him a few times now! I get my first flying lesson today! He is letting me fly!! 🙂

    Nope, I was the only one! It was nice to spend some quality time with him…while in the air. I also had the opportunity to have my first flying lessons. I got to fly the plane as well as take off. It went extremely well! Can you believe it?

    Haha, that’s exactly what my boyfriend does! As much as I would love teaching flying lessons, I don’t think I could afford the cost of getting my pilot’s and instructor’s licence! It is extremely expensive to get trained. I think one pilot in the family would be enough.
