Have you ever traveled to a place that you would imagine yourself moving to permanently? What did you love about it? What does to offer that can't be found at home?
The first international travel I experienced was to Australia and New Zealand as part of a business travel trip for Genius Golfer. Knowing it w as a wonderful chance to see a part of the world we otherwise might not ever get to see, I jumped at the chance to go there.
Australia--specifically the gold Coast on the eastern coast of Queensland--was a wonderful place, full of wonderful people with exotic and slightly familiar feel to it. I loved it. We visited Brisbane and then flew up to the city of Cairns. It was beautiful, charming and delightful city that was a lovely jumping off spot to see and dive upon the Great Barrier Reef. I found the Australia people warm, inviting and welcoming to outsiders. They were open to others and seemingly self confident enough not to be threatened by the visiting Americans. I felt in love with the people, the accent, and the particulars they espoused.
I remember telling GG that if there ever came a time we could not longer live in America, I'd happily move to Queensland and be happy forever.
