As my friend R. pointed out, everyone on Match loves traveling. This guy talked about how he loved traveling, but his job (in something science-related) was preventing him from traveling more. He also loves listening and creating music and wanted someone who shared his values. I listen to and create music! I have values!

He never wrote back. Maybe he was traveling?

Hi!

Sometimes it feels like torture to have all these amazing places to go in the world, and the ability to get there and experience the phenomenal things they have to offer, and yet not have the time. I work on a brand-new travel magazine, and while we’re getting it off the ground, we have pretty limited vacation. So all day I’m working on stories about the campesino food “renaissance” in Mexico or tango shoes from Argentina (for our product section — they’re engineered to make it easier for women to walk backward!) or quirky theme cafes in Tokyo and trying to narrow it all down to figure out where I’m actually going to go with my one week that isn’t already spoken for. (I’m thinking Croatia — both to Istria to research a confusing twist in my family history and also to see the Dalmatian Coast.)

So if you had a month off to travel (or six months, while we’re talking hypothetically), where would you go?
