Your country and the other.

I really love to travel and have been to almost fifty countries so far in my life. From my childhood visits to France I bought back an interest in the beautiful sounding French language. I got there by ferry. Then I had my first holiday overseas to Greece when I was 14 with my mum. We flew there on a plane. I brought back a love for islands and an appreciation for hot weather. When I was 17 I went to the Netherlands with a friend. We went there by ferry and train. I brought back an interest in architecture and the history of Europe. We visited Anne Frank's house. When I was 18 I worked as a children's nanny in Finland and brought back an interest in teaching English. I later become a primary school teacher in my life. When I was 19 I had my first taste of a tropical island, St Lucia in the Caribbean. I fell in love with the hot climate, lush scenery, cool rain forest and palm fringed beaches. Since then I have come to love all tropical islands, having visited French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, Fiji, Samoa and the Maldives. I have found the most beautiful beaches in the world. They are in the Seychelles.

I flew from North Carolina to Grand Cayman which is in the British West Indies over the summer. It was wonderful. The people are very friendly and the whole country is very accommodating to Americans. Even though they have their own currency there wasn't a single place I went that did not accept American money. The locals told me the best places to go to go snorkeling and some sites to see on the island that weren't in any of the travel guides I read. It is the most beautiful place I have ever gone and would go back in a heartbeat.
