I LOVE London. There is history, culture, and fun around every corner. It is a VERY diverse city both in terms of it's citizens and it's visitors. There are people here from every corner of the world. This is a fabulous country, and the British are wonderful people.

Still, I firmly believe that the US is the greatest nation on the planet. I'm very grateful to be an American, and very mindful that when I travel abroad I am an ambassador for my country. I always feel a tremendous sense of responsibility for my behavior because I want to represent my country and it's people as well as I possibly can.

It really is an honor and a privilege to be an American. I'm sure that sounds pretty sappy, but it's too easy to take what we have and who we are for granted. One of the things I enjoy the most about traveling abroad is reflecting back on what I have to return home to.
