I'm fairly new to this forum so never mind me if this topic has been handled already. I would be curious about what country everyone is from and what countries everyone has been to. I'll start first. I live and am from the USA. The only countries I have been to is Mexico and Canada.

Speaking of Mexico... did you happen to make it to La Bufadora? (the blowhole)
A marine geyser located on the Punta Banda Peninsula below Ensenada, Mexico. It is considered one of the largest blowholes in North America, famous for shooting seawater high into the air.

I was only in Cancun and visited Chichen Itza. Cancun was obviously a tourist trap. A bunch of us girls from work went there in the 80's because they had a special going on.

I wouldn't reccomend it these days, but, back in the late 80's, we'd head down to the penninsula and camp right on the beach.

I come from another world, but my roots are not a light year from Hollydolly's. I've lived in a number of countries, mainly England, but although I'm now happily living in N.E. Scotland I've never found anywhere that I would really called home.

I hail from the English Midlands. I live in one county and work in another. Many people have difficulty figuring out which city I’m from based on my accent -- it sometimes seems like a mix of different accents. Some say I sound like Robbie Williams when I sing. In reality, I’m not that good, and I definitely don’t come from where he lives. Some people say my speaking voice occasionally sounds as if it sings; others, when they hear that, simply respond, “Really!?”
As for the countries I’ve been to: the USA! I think everyone should visit the USA at least once. I’ve been many times -- sometimes with friends, and romantically with two American girlfriends. Not at the same time, of course! That would be not only wrong but extremely challenging.
Other countries I’ve visited:
France.
Belgium.
Germany.
Luxembourg.
Liechtenstein.
Austria.
Switzerland. (Wish I were there now)
Japan. (What an amazing and unique place that is)
Peru.
Somehow I feel I've missed one out.
There is someone on this site who seems to have been everywhere. I think he was in the US military.
Anyway, just for some added entertainment, here is Robbie Williams that I mentioned.
UPDATE:
Ireland! That's what I missed out. How could I forget that!

Hmmm…? I have four place names in mind, but I won’t mention them here -- that’s your prerogative. Your info to own.
But now I look again, I can't help wondering if there is a significant clue in one of your lines. See what I mean -- of course you do. look very closely at each word. Join some of the words together, in whichever order you feel fit.
Have you worked in the Secret Service? Or GCHQ perhaps?
