Note that I have to visit New York City between April 28 - May 15 cos Anna will be there. this complicates things but is essential. cos Anna will be there.
To help you help me...
Tourism I like:
- nature, big impressive nature. i like cities but quickly get bored and don't go out much.
- food. new food, yummy food, vege food.
- swimming and horse riding.
- walking. not crazy hiking mind you. a little casual hiking. but mostly walking.
- reading my book in picturesque settings or nice cafes.
- obscure museums about weird little topics.
- camping.
- youth hostels full of drunk Americans / Australians / Brits.
- I know this is a generalisation but I am way more of a museum person than an art gallery person. just am.
- extreme heat. would rather snow.
With that in mind I give you...
