An idea
A couple weeks ago, I asked what your goals are for the New Year and what kinds of things you’d like to see on the blog. A few of you mentioned traveling. And call me crazy (I’m looking at you Emma-Lu! lol), but y’all seem like quite the international crowd. So I was wondering if any of you would like to tell the rest of us about your hometowns or neighborhoods. Through writing, or photographs, or video, or whatever other means you think can communicate to the rest of us what it’s like where you live.
Things like:
- the language(s) spoken
- the people who live there
- what people talk about
- how people spend their free time
- customs or traditions visitors should know about
- popular places to visit
- unpopular places to visit that are still cool
- things to do
- THE FOOD
- attitudes toward women
…you get the idea. Basically, the things you’d be interested to know if you were reading about another place. And not necessarily like something you’d read in a travel guide really, because we can always go ahead and read the travel guides. This is just supposed to be an easygoing, personal introduction to different places and cultures. Particularly an introduction from the female perspective. Even if you just visited a new place, that would be cool too because it’s a different viewpoint.
I’ll try to do one (or two, or a few) about the city that I grew up in and love to its core, New York. And I know I’m not the only New Yorker here, so don’t be shy now. 
So think about it. If you’d like to share, shoot me an email. 
P.S. – If English isn’t your first language, no worries. If your writing just needs a quick once-over for spelling and grammatical mistakes, I’m your gal and would be more than happy to edit.
But for now, I’ll go to sleep, but I’ll be on it soon!
