Hello, Darlings! I am Lucille Monroe and I love the vintage style of the 40s, 50s, and 60s, and the iconic celebrities of those times such as Marilyn Monroe, Lucille Ball, Judy Garland, Donna Reed, Audrey Hepburn, Doris Day, etc.

Hey Pandas, I Want To Travel The World. Why Should I Visit Your Country?
I live in the United States of America, in the desert outside of Tucson, Arizona. You should visit my country because there are some of the most amazing natural things to see. In Arizona we have the most awe inspiring thunderstorms that you could possibly want to see, hear, feel and smell, yes smell. When the rains hit the desert there is no other smell in the world like it. It reaches into you and pulls at your heart. We have sunsets that are so beautiful they want to make you weep they are that beautiful. We have spiders so big and hairy you want to put a saddle on them and ride them around. We have rattlesnakes meaner than my evil twin. We have lizards that look like candy corn and have the bite of a bulldog. And that's just in Arizona!Hey Pandas, I Want To Travel The World.

You should visit the US to see there are some really cool people irl vs the awful politics & online presence. We love our sports and our hometowns just like most countries. We have a taste of the world from food to art to music bc everyone is from somewhere else. I've been to 36 states and everyone has been a wonderful experience bc most people really are kind to strangers.Hey Pandas, I Want To Travel The World. Why Should I Visit Your Country?
The North East of England Has the friendliest and nicest people in the uk, amazing food and drink (Newcastle brown ale and Greggs pasties), has gorgeous beaches and amazing nightlife. Has tonnes of historical sites and new an exciting places to go. The best place in the world, yeah I’m a Geordie and I’m biased so come find out for yourself!!!

In Canada we have the world's largest boreal forest, 2 mountain ranges (Rockies in the west and Aleutians in east), tundra in the north, prairies in the centre. Manitoba has countless lakes with thousands of swimmable beaches. Our people are warm, friendly and accommodating. Need directions or want to ask a question and we'll become your personal tour guide lol. We're surrounded by 3 oceans: Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic. There's something for everyone. Our winters can be harsh in the prairies, and very hot in the summer, but if you can't handle risking -30C or lower or +30C and higher, British Columbia is usually mild and rainy, southern Ontario has milder temperatures. In summers we do get some heavy storms and about 60 tornadoes a year if storm chasing is up your alley. If you like winter sports, we have lots of manmade rinks, but even more special 2 of the longest natural skating rinks on the Assiniboine River in Winnipeg and Rideau Canal In Ottawa that divides Ontario and Quebec. If French is your main language you'll feel right at home in Quebec, and there are French districts in any of the main cities. Canada is heavily multicultural. Every tradition is embraced. We love to learn and experience different cultures around the world. Our arts and entertainment community is huge. There's plenty of professional and junior sports matches to go see. Despite hockey being massively popular, lacrosse is actually our national sport. Along with American football, soccer football, baseball, curling, figure skating, etc. If art is more your taste we got a pretty unique music scene that's quite folks-y. Festivals galore, especially in Manitoba. There's Winnipeg Folk Festival that's on at Bird's Hill Park, a city wide Folklorama where you can explore different cultures for a week. Niagara Falls is beautiful. A honeymoon mecca and it's got a main street that looks like Universal Studios, imo. You can go on a ferry ride that goes close to the falls and a tunnel system behind the falls. I could write a novel. I'll leave it here. Canada is just an amazing country.Hey Pandas, I Want To Travel The World. Why Should I Visit Your Country?
Scotland, a lovely part of Uk. I'm british/swedish and have family in Edinburgh, which is one of the bigger cities. You should absolutly visit Edinburgh if you love history and culture. Scotland also have the beautiful highlands, isles (exampe Isle of Skye) and of course we have the famous sea monster Nessie. Sweden is beautiful too, especially in the summer when there is no snow and a bit warmer. We have amazing nature with a free to room rule. Gotland and the high coast is two places with amazing nature!Hey Pandas, I Want To Travel The World. Why Should I Visit Your Country?
Mexico has ancient civilizations. Only In Mexico City we have the "Templo Mayor" (Great Temple) where the Mexica (pronounce Meshica, its Nahuatl) people lived. Also in this city you can visit lots of museum, parks an near other ancient architecture like Tula or TeotihuacanHey Pandas, I Want To Travel The World. Why Should I Visit Your Country?
Brazil is full of warm and kind people. And no, Brazil is not just Rio, samba, soccer, favelas and the Amazon, as most people think. On each corner of the country, you'll see different cultures and probably different temperatures, as it is colder in the south and hotter in the northeast. I recommend visiting some beaches in the northeast states. But if you’re not much into beaches and wants more of the urban cultural experience, then go to the south and southeast states.Hey Pandas, I Want To Travel The World. Why Should I Visit Your Country?
The UK has castles. Also we have The Locomotion, Shildon.Hey Pandas, I Want To Travel The World. Why Should I Visit Your Country?
The Netherlands. Amsterdam is a beautiful city. See the Nightwatch by Rembrandt, go to the Van Gogh museum, take a walk in the old city centre. Rotterdam has a lot of great modern architecture and of course the harbor. Go to the beach, one of our many islands, etc. The Dutch love good food, cold beer and are friendly and speak english!Show All 21 Upvotes

Come to Québec ! Lots to do! Biggest french speaking state in North America and home of the poutine (La Banquise in Montréal for a good selection of poutine). Furthermore, if you're a history buff: Montréal, Québec and Wendake are great place to visit some awesome museum and historical sites. Foodies ? Le Pied de Cochon in Montréal of chef Martin Picard is a representation of Quebec cuisine: generous, no waste, inviting, no bull***t. Depending on when you come, we have PLENTY of food festivals: Poutineweek, Phoque-fest (for seal meat), Mtl à Table (to discover new restaurants without spending a fortune). Fan of beers or ciders? Lots of brewery and microbrewery all over the province to discover. My favorite is in Saint-Gédéon in the beautiful region of the Lac St-Jean. If available, try the Stoychev (honouring a swimmer of the same name who dominated the crossing of the lake for years). Nature ? Tons of parks, national parks, rivers, lake to discover. Go to Tadoussac to see the whales, a small excursion in the Saguenay fjord, camping in one of the many national parks or even just a stroll on Mount Royal overlooking Montréal, park designed by the same guy who designed Central Park. A good show ? Tons of festivals again, a Scottish comedian called Montréal a city with ADD, always needing to be entertained. Just for Laughs for comedy, Jazz Festival, Osheaga, Winter Carnival in Quebec etc. The People ? Well you're talking to one. We are nice, like any Canadians, love a good time and enjoy helping others with anything. Don't be afraid to ask and if you put a little french word here and there (merci, excusez-moi j'ai besoin d'aide etc.), you'll get the super smiley VIP treatment ;-) Just a little warning, our province is big ! Don't do the same mistakes my friend from France did... trying to go from Montréal to Québec to Tadoussac, to the Lac St-Jean and back to Montréal in a week-end. They thought it was not that big of a trip and hope to visit some museums in Québec, whale-watching in Tadoussac, beach day at the lake St-Jean. They did none of those activities because they spent their time driving from one place to another. Plan your travel carefully and look up Google maps for traveling time estimate by car. Hope it was a good pitch, could go on forever. À bientôt les Pandas !Hey Pandas, I Want To Travel The World. Why Should I Visit Your Country?
