Folks always ask me what my favorite destinations are....well, there are a lot. However, nothing beats Boulder. Nowhere, nohow. I’ve hiked throughout Peru, Patagonia, Portugal and the Pyrenees and biked California Coast, Lake Champlain, County Claire and Charlottesville Hunt Country. I’ve explored Laos, Ladakh, Lillehammer and Latvia and Lithuania and tasted my way through the Cinque Terre, Croatia, Crete, Cork and Czech Republic. There is no place that can compare to Boulder for the following • Amazing diverse weather….but generally sunny! I LOVE having 4 seasons and avoiding the humid cold that chills me to the bones. • The Outdoors: if you aren’t into the outdoors you can’t fully take advantage of boulder. Miles of accessible trails and green space for running, biking, walking, fishing, playing. • 35 miles from an INTERNATIONAL airport. Direct flights to London, Frankfurt, Montreal and many more to come. • Passionate Entrepreneurs: whether it is meeting at the CUP for a TravelGeeks meeting or walking at Sanitas…everyone you meet is full of ideas and inspiration. • Inter-generational Diversity: well, we might now have the cultural diversity that many of us would like but in terms of connecting with folks of all ages and being part of organizations which are inclusive of college undergrads and grandmothers, Boulder is it. Sometimes I think the Basque Country, Slovenia, or New Zealand might be a good fit to actually live but as soon as I get back to Boulder I fall in love again ?

It also helps that people are so welcoming, as you mentioned. I could do without the sunshine, as I prefer cloudy days, but the city is a jewel - its population included. Bedazzling!
