I grew up in the area, but I feel comfortable in the pacific northwest especially Portland or Seattle. The reason I would feel more comfortable in that general area is because I am very liberal in all aspects of life. Unfortunately, I am not there, so I enjoy the limited amenities of St. Louis such as some of the restaurants and wine bars even though I drink little wine. I am on a quest to find more non-smoking establishments.

I enjoy or at least tolerate most types of music. I tried, but I really do not like rap or country. I really enjoy hiking, and I would eventually like to go backpacking. I read everything from the classics to popular fiction; it just depends on my mood. Finally, I enjoy traveling, but I do not get to go nearly as much as I would like. I would pretty much go anywhere at least once.
