It’s a great area of North west London

[Hazy]

Is that quite close to desert? How far is the closest city? Love the landscape there

[Hazy]

Love your take on London! It’s a brilliant perspective, I wonder if you got a bucket hat? Popular for festivals still

Yeah .. I don’t remember a lot of it because I was pretty drunk the whole entire time.. It was actually a school trip for my psychology class and I was actually friends with the teacher so it made it better.. Because like right when we landed I snuck around the corner to buy a pack of cigarettes and I thought she was going to yell at me but she just was literally like please don’t do anything too crazy and you can do whatever you want just make it back to the airport in eight days so I didn’t go on any of the class trips or things they had planned I pretty much just rode my skateboard around London and went wherever I wanted to go… I’m kind of glad that’s what happened because I actually got to interact with regular people and just see what London really is like..There was Students and teachers from all over the United States and they really did not like me because they felt like I was setting a bad example for the other highschoolers but I probably was though.. The only time I saw or interacted with any of the other students or teachers was every morning when I went down to get breakfast and then I just left…still I had a good time.. this is before my drinking and drug problem like crossed that line But honestly in Retrospect I was already starting to show severe addiction problems even at 18.. turning 18 like right before the trip and the legal age being 18 there was not a great combination!!! Plus my parents giving me two credit cards lol. I don’t know what they were thinking…

This IS the closest city! There’s a bit over a half million people in the city limits (one of them being moi), and 1.1m people in the overall metro area. All my pictures are city pictures!

I’m not downtown, but still pretty much smack in the middle of the city. The cities here are not like the compact big cities back on the east coast USA. Very spread out, not a ton of tall buildings. I’ve heard it said as, “growing outward, not upward”. Even within the city limits, there are plenty of quiet almost rural pockets where you’d have no idea you were even in a city.

There are some suburbs north and south of town, but once you get past that, it’s more or less open desert and farmland until you hit Phoenix (north) or México (south). We’re about 60 miles north of the MX/US border.

A blast from the past.

…dangg.

Anyways, i’m glad you’re loving it out there. Seems like you found your home peace.

The indoor sky garden at my employer’s main campus building. Unfortunately, the plants aren’t real but it is a nice indoor space to feel the sun. Especially when it’s like -9° outside in Chicago.

I can’t do that cold weather anymore!! I’m originally from Pennsylvania but I been in Florida for 20 years.. I get very cold very easily now!! If I move anywhere I’m going even farther south !! I’m wearing a hoodie when it’s 75 degrees lol.. I went to Colorado a couple years ago during the winter time and it was crazy.. I literally could not get warm

[Shel75]

This is me. I live in Central PA and I’m miserable from November to May. If it’s below 75, I’m freezing. I hate air conditioning and have to wear a sweater in grocery stores, restaurants or anywhere with AC. Moving south is in the 5-year plan. I’m seriously thinking of moving to North Carolina, even looked at some houseswhen I was there last week

[bluekoolaid_88]

With sobriety anything is possible and you can live wherever you want! I heard North Carolina is beautiful.. I left Pennsylvania when I was 16 but I literally remember snowboarding in T-shirts and wearing shorts in the winter time but I went back to Pennsylvania a couple times in the last few years and I literally could not do it I was like trembling with multiple layers on!! I’m sure I could adapt if I lived there again for a while but honestly Florida is home now.. Recently I had an experience at a football game where my whole entire family was complaining about the heat and I was thinking in my head I don’t remember the last time I complained about the heat!! I Actually prefer 95° weather. I’ll take a 95° day with plenty of sunshine over a gloomy winter day.. any day! But to each their own and then also there’s the fact that I do get that places where it gets real cold and snows and stuff like that does have its benefits especially making Christmas time or the holidays seem more real and also there is outdoor sports and stuff that are only available in the snow.. But Honestly I’m going to stay in the tropical environments With plenty of heat

Ps: I will say though that last winter was the coldest winter I’ve ever experienced in Florida I literally had to order actual winter clothes on Amazon and it was cold for like two months straight and actually snowed and laid on the ground. It was crazy.. I was thinking this is crazy I thought I left this nonsense!! At the time I was working at this restaurant and they called me the night before it snowed to say they were closing the restaurant and I was thinking this is ridiculous I’m actually having a snow day in Florida and don’t have to go to work!! It was actually pretty cool though honestly and brought back memories from when I was a kid like sitting in front of the TV seeing if I’m going to school or not lol

I would honestly be happy if I never saw snow again. I hate it and it’s not just the cold. It’s pretty for 2 minutes, then it get plowed into slushy piles everywhere. If it gets really cold, they freeze into black mountains of ugly, dirty ice than don’t melt until May. There’s no parking anywhere because of all the piles of ice. Just getting out of your car to go into a store is hazardous and there’s a good chance you’ll fall on your ass. I could go on about how people drive, the mud in the spring, etc. I hate it all! Give me sun and 90 degrees

It’s funny because I lived in Pittsburgh for 5 years and I never found the winters there to be as brutal as Chicago winters. The only thing that made Pittsburgh winters bad were driving through those snowy hills. When I moved back to Chicago, I had to readjust to the freezing, windy winters.

I am living in Portugal a few days. Flights were super cheap. Never gone away by myself on holiday. It’s a little unsettling. I only booked one night and the room was shocking so I moved to another hotel with breakfast! Tmrw i think I Im gonna travel to another place to stay. See where the wind takes me

[JazzyS]

@Hazy

See where the wind takes me

Oh I love it…I enjoy traveling solo… something relaxing about it…hope you do enjoy your time away (sorry the first hotel did not meet expectations).

The pics are absolutely beautiful

Oh wow, is this a buddhist temple??

[Jana1988]

I’ve done a solo travel only once in my life when I went to Tenerife approx. 9 years ago. Unfortunately I was a drunk back then and all my memories are around drinking. Although a few of them are good and I met some awesome people at the hotel where I was staying and with some of them I still keep in touch.

I hope you’re going to have a super great time! Enjoy
