Actually, it’s the opposite for me. I live just outside of Baton Rouge and it’s fairly warm here. I see my friends from my hometown in West Virginia posting pictures of snow and I wish I were there. It’s not that I’m particularly fond of the snow but in the pictures it looks so beautiful and inviting. I suppose that’s why they say, “The grass is greener!”

Being from Malaysia, where the temperatures are regularly in the 30’s (Celcius that is) and when it rains, it pours, I do, on occasions, miss the experience of having the four seasons (that I had in my younger days). Thank God, travelling is easy nowadays. Thank you Wright Brothers.

Definitely do it. I lived in California up until three months ago, and I was just reminded of how great it is today when I got a picture of my sisters in tanktops on their way to a sunset surf session. Don’t expect perfect weather, though…the sunshine can be rather hit or miss around this time of year, but the beauty of the coastline never takes a day off.
