I'm allowed to say it because I was born there. Seriously, for one year you can't stay under that rock with the rest of what's shitty about you?

So, you may ask, where do you plan on living next in the U.S. if you hate your hometown so much? (And hate is too strong a word. I am engaging in hyperbole.)

New Orleans, baby.

I've always been drawn to that city, ever since high school. Maybe even more so now. I see it as a place of rebirth, of attempting to overcome tragedy, home to the blues and jazz and southern manners. And yes, it is dangerous but don't we all need to step out of our comfort zone and live a little? I've learned that this past year.

I read Clever Nettle's blog and she posted some enchanting photos of her trip to the city. So that's where I'm heading once I get back America. Take a look at her work. The girl can take some amazing photos!
