At the moment, I am talking to a friend of mine from the UK. He's in China at the moment working but I told him of my idea of one day living in the UK (once I have money and a life put together securely). I've never seen myself as someone who can just settle in one city. So I started looking at different cities and villages in the UK. One place really caught my eye: Cambridge. Just seeing this one picture made me want to explore this city even more. Of course, my friend who is from the UK told me there are too many bicycles and he suggested that I look at villages in Norfolk, mainly Norfolk Broads. The pictures were beautiful. It looks so remote and quaint. I could see myself in a small cottage there, cooking, drinking wine, reading in a nice bubble bath every night (alone or accompanied), sitting outside and watching the sky change colors, taking a boat ride at sunset. Case in point: once I make money and have settled down the best way I know how, I will buy myself a small vacation home in an area like this in the UK.
The great thing about the UK is they speak english with beautiful accents and it's closer to France, Spain and Italy than anywhere in the US (obviously). After backpacking twice, I have come to love the metro system. It is so easy to pick up your bags and just hop a train to anywhere in Europe. Just thinking about all this gets me so excited! Here are some pictures I found online of Norfolk. There seem to be a lot of boats and windmills:
Someone sign me up please :)
