So far I’ve done a lot of traveling this year: a CHI conference in The Netherlands, white water rafting in Oregon, a drive to North Carolina for a wedding. Tomorrow I leave for Hamburg and in another month I’m off to Stockholm. I enjoy it, but I’m never really blown away by being somewhere else. Ironically, the place that most impressed me was the beauty of the Rogue River in Oregon. That must be something that New York City can’t supply.
