    Rochester, New York. Born & Raised. It's like, the 3rd most violent & dangerous city in NY, with double the crime than New York City itself. (not to mention a way smaller population) and as of 2014 we are the 3rd poorest city in all of America.... AWESOME!

    I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The most amazing thing about being down here is the weather between October and April :happy:

    And you have one of the best walleye fisheries in the world. Fish and hos, FTW.

    Also, corn. I have miles and miles of corn. Corn as far as the eye can see. Unless it's a bean field.

    I got nothing. Well, there are Amish here...around here anyways. That was a hell of a shock when my parents moved us to Ohio when I was 13...TOTALLY thought they were joking when they told us about the Amish.

    I live in two places - UK and France. Monday to Thursday is in the North London neighbourhood of Golders Green. Expensive, noisy, and very multi-cultural. Originally coming from a small village this took me some time to get used to but now the sirens and all-night buses don't bother me. What's here? Lot's of cafes, restaurants, and a metro station! Also one of the biggest cemeteries in the country - Peter Sellers, Sigmund Freud, H.G Wells, and recently Amy Winehouse were either buried or cremated here.

    From Friday to Sunday I live in a very quiet part of rural northern France (not far from the Belgian border). Lots of great cycling and walking terrain and a decent golf course close by. What's here? We have one small shop and there is a museum in the forest where the Germans planned to launch V1 and V2 rockets during WWII. Highlight of the year is the night time cycle ride through the forests looking for the legendary ghosts. Hundreds turn up and the biggest risk is from other cyclists or the wild pigs! Pretty darn exciting don't you think? :)

    I live in the state of Maine, USA. It's a gorgeous state that has something for everyone who loves the outdoors and/or just plain old likes site seeing - rocky coasts, sandy beaches, lighthouses, mountains (ski, hike, etc), rivers and lakes (fish, boat, swim) and lots of wildlife.

    Our largest city is Portland - while it's no Boston or even Portsmouth, it's big for Maine. And it's a classic old New England city with a lot of historical brick buildings and even some cobblestone sidewalks left in the waterfront area. There's a decent art community, tons of restaurants to enjoy and of course the usual shopping, etc.

    The area where I live is referred to as Central Maine (although it's quite far south of the "true" center of the state map-wise) with Lewiston/Auburn as a twin city at the heart. It's an evolving city, I guess you'd say...not large and not a ton of stuff to do/see in any particular area of tourism but a nice little bit of everything (outdoors, shopping, arts, food) Our two big events are the Balloon Festival in August (2 weeks ago) and The Dempsey Challenge bike race and run/walk (about a month from now). And yes, it's THAT Dempsey (Patrick) - he grew up in the area and founded a center for those impacted by cancer that provides various services.

    I'm from Perth, Western Australia. Sometimes known as the world's most isolated capital city.

    Home to gorgeous beaches like this:

    Jersey...and it's peaceful, except for the old guy who yells at all the kids for climbing the tree. He tells them the tree is going to break.
