New Orleans for July/August! Before then, planning to hit NYC, Montreal, and hopefully Toronto.
Favorite places I've been:
New York City, Florence, New Zealand, Istanbul, Bequia (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines), New Orleans, San Francisco, Nova Scotia, Venice, Britain (Cornwall, Northumberland, London, Scottish Highlands), Budapest, India
Places I want to go to:
Lots more of the US and Canada, back to India for a solid six months or more, Ghana, Senegal, Sudan, South Africa, Tunisia (Africa generally!), more of Eastern Europe, and EVERYWHERE really.
About me:
Freelance writer freshly recovered from an office job doing historical research for native land claims litigation. I've turned in my filing cabinet keys and given notice on my apartment, and am officially adrift with my laptop as of July 1.
I love to write about travel (obviously) but also about history, music, movies, books, and even pro sports from time to time. I blog about travel at World Hum and Vagablogging, and have written for The National Post, The Ottawa Citizen and the Edmonton Journal, as well as Vagabondish and a few different Matador publications of course! I'm a contributing editor at Not Coming To A Theater Near You, an indie film review site, and I also blog about chick flicks at thegoodthebadthefugly.blogspot.com. I'm just getting started on the music writing side of things, but check out thesoularchive.blogspot.com - my latest work in progress.

I met a bunch of really great people from Denmark and Norway that are working at their respective embassies...I'll have to introduce you when you get back. I have been partying with these folks harder than I have in years.
K- this is long, come back soon!

Wow, such a detailed post! I loved all your suggestions. I'll definitely stay at Caterina Hostel - that whole area sounds amazing. I'm planning on spending around 4 days in Budapest. And would you say that half a day in Szentendre would be enough? Of the day-trip towns I think that's the one I'd be most interested in.

When You’re Lying. In January, I read Rolf Potts’ review and followed its epic
comments thread at World Hum with interest. I also read the BNT...
There was more to it than love at first sight, of course.
To be honest, when I first got out of the cab in downtown Kingstown, here in Saint Vincent, late on Saturday afternoon, I had to keep a firm grip on my positivity. The streets were littered with smashed glass, odd smells, feral-looking dogs that...
