If I’m traveling virtually, I need to get to these places

If I’m traveling virtually, I need to get to these places.

 

There are so many places that I have been drawn to while reading the many bloggers’ posts of their local areas. Narrowing this down to just one would be misleading, I could think of many who have really “sold” their local turf.

The one that I have been following for some time now is Hella Mitschke Rothwell. I was first drawn to Hella’s posts because she was located in the Northern California Coastal Region. Being a broker licensed in the State of California she has been posting the beautiful properties along the coast.

Many of the photos that impressed me were from Crescent City, CA area. Some of the photos were taken looking out toward the ocean. I could just imagine what it would be like to live in Crescent City, sitting near the crashing waves and gentle ocean breeze. The region is not like many of the more crowded areas of the California coast, you would need to get out into the area yourself.

But there is more to Hella! She decided to get her brokers license in the State of Hawaii also. Now I’m not sure why she chose Hawaii to start a business but I’m glad that she did. She has been showing the local area and all it’s views when posting the condominiums that are available in Honolulu, HI.

Now I’ve been to Hawaii recently as a tourist, the pace is a bit slower than here at home. It wasn’t until seeing Hella’s photos that I could see myself more as a condo owner right there in Honolulu every day.  Visiting Hawaii was great but I bet living there can be a real treat.

 

Like I stated earlier, there are many bloggers here that have made me look outside the regular vacation spots. I would certainly check out the blogs posted in the areas of the country that I have not yet gone to see it first here.

Hi Tom, I agree it's difficult to choose a location(even virtually) to travel.  I find the places I'm attracted to are more because of the people there than the actual location.   However, if forced to choose - I wouldn't dismiss Hawaii, that's for sure.

I like the variety that we get to see here: coastal, mountainous, big city, warm weather, etc. We can travel to all sorts of wonderful places every day Michael.

Tom:  What a pleasant surprise to have you "virtually" write about 2 of MY favorite places. To answer your question, I go to Hawaii so often anyway because I have my daughter and 2 little grandsons (7 and 5) living there. It only made sense to also activate a brokers license there. I can now cross-sell California and Hawaii.

Tom-What an excellent entry in this contest. It is cool that Hella has a license in both places. I love the chair looking out on the ocean. That would be so relaxing. I am planning on going to Hawaii one day in the future.

Tom, Hella has been a top contender in this contest about Virtual Traveling! I didn't know that she started in CA. All things sunny, I guess....you chose a fabulous destination and blogger, if only virtually (for the moment).

Thanks for your entry to the Virtual Traveller contest!

Hella - I think you may be getting a few mentions before this contest is over. You have a unique situation, a broker's license in distant states, that works for you. You bring each of these locations to us through your posts - I love it!

I can see her getting a few more entries before this is over Gayle. Honestly there are so many cities that look so inviting and worthy of inclusion. I look forward to seeing all the entries.

Thanks for hosting the contest!
