    I've been to:

    Scotland
    I stayed there for a week at Daniel and Danielle's flat. Lev and Paul were also there! We got attacked by millions of mozzies. We got drunk!

    Crete
    The first place we stayed wasn't very nice. The food was gross, the hotel was gross. The place was just horrible. People were gross. A guy rented a moped and got hit and killed but we got transferred to another area which was gorgeous. Lovely food, friendly people.

    Cyprus
    My favourite place that I've been.. very lovely people and some of the best food I've ever had. I'd like to go back there. It was just beautiful. I liked going into the shops and seeing pretty lizards just sitting on the walls ^_^

    Tunisia
    I would have liked to have seen more of it as we went all-inclusive so we barely left the resort.

    Egypt
    Pyramids! Some guy offered my dad some camels for me.

    Paris
    In the 3 days I was there, I did a *ton* of sight-seeing. I went up the Eiffel Tower, but I got scared and couldn't make it right to the top, but I nearly got to the top! I was there for Valentines day. There is a ton of beggars in Paris, and tons of stray dogs. They have the best BREAD ever.

    Bulgaria
    It was a drinking holiday with a group of friends. It was tons of fun! It was sooo cheap, and I got to try Bulgarian food which was yummy. There was 10 of us, and we went out for a meal all together one day and had a meal each + drinks and it only came to like £30 in TOTAL. and it was a really nice meal, too. I went banana boating for the first time and totally freaked out and screamed at the man to take us back because there was literally *hundreds* of jellyfish under us and around us and I was petrified. I was too scared to go back in the sea afterwards and stuck with the hotel pool.

    As for the UK, I've been all over the place in England. It's nice to go and see different cities and do different stuff! I'd quite like to go to Cumbria, soon because I'm always told how beautiful it is.

    I really want to go abroad again this year. I'm not sure where to go yet, but I'm going to start shopping around soon.

    I don't remember. It was my first holiday abroad, and I was fairly young.

    I'd quite like to go back to Crete, actually as the second place we went was lovely!

    Although, going to Tasmania is like going to a whole other planet. One where the locals have multiple heads.

    I absolutely loved Crete. We lived at a hotel in Chania, but every day we'd take trips out around the place. We found beautiful old rural villages in the mountains with the cutest little food places. At one place they didn't know English, so they showed us inside and let us pick our own meat out of the freezer. xD Ah, I'd love to go back some day. *nostalgic*

    I've been offshore in the waters of western Canada! Chasing whales!

    And I was in Guadalajara, Mexico for 10 days on a mission to support Obama.

    Also, North Carolina.


    I will be going to Okinowa, Japan in a few days.
    Also will be going to Guam, Thailand, Philippines, and a couple other islands.

    I've been all over the U.K. except Northern Ireland, all over Italy, to parts of Switzerland (southwest mostly if memory serves), to France, and to Belgium. Pretty sure those are the only countries I've been to, and I haven't been out of the country for a long time. Nearly all of the time I spent in Scotland was with my ex and we also met Looney BooB.

    So I'm back. You may rejoice now.

    Bermuda is very nice, and the hotel we stayed at was amazing. Our adventures started when a bird flew into the suite through the balcony door, and we had to catch it to get it back out.

    We stayed in Hamilton (near the middle), and we (mostly me, my now step-sister, and her boyfriend) found some good bars in town. The first one we went to was pretty dead, but the bartender was awesome and gave us a free round, as well as the layout of the nightlife. Another bar we found had a live band, and my step-sister cajoled them into playing David Bowie, and then sang along with them to "The Man Who Stole the World." Good fun.

    Hamilton is super nice, that's where I stayed in Bermuda. The houses are too cute and the signs are great. I actually saw one that warned tourists of "loose women" roaming about.

    You must have fallen in a triangle because there was a grammar error in your post. Don't worry, I fixed it for you.
