One Place I'd Like to Visit?

You're really asking me to pick one place? Do you realize how impossible that is? EVERYWHERE. I want to go everywhere! However, for the purposes of this blog post, I'll just pick a handful of places and talk about them some. I'm kind of a geek, so my reasons for wanting to visit most of these places are history-related.

First up: Scotland. Well, England and Wales, too, I guess. That general area. I'm oddly preoccupied with learing about my heritage, and everything I've found leads back to that island in the North Atlantic. I'm really interested in the history of it, partially because of my heritage and partially because I really love learning about the ancient tribes of Europe. It gets kind of frustrating because not much is actually known for sure about them, but that just makes it all the more interesting.

I'd also love to visit parts of the Middle East. Again, for historical reasons. Some of the world's most amazing early civilizations were located there. If you haven't noticed, I kind of have a thing for ancient history. I also find it interesting because that area is considered sacred by many of the world's most prominent religions.

Since the other two places were mostly because of my obsession with ancient history, I'll try something different here. I would love to go to New Zealand. Purely because of the scenery. It sounds like an amazing place. No big cities, so the destructive influence of humans is very much decreased. And the fact that it's an island (well, two islands, but you know what I mean) means that there are lots of interesting species that have evolved there.

Ok, so ALL of that sounded pretty geeky. But there are also plenty of cities I'd like to visit, mostly in Europe. Then again, the main reason that I want to go to most of them is because of their history. So... Never mind. I'm a geek and I love it.
