David Swanton isn't someone
who likes to travel all over the place. He doesn't understand how some people
can spend all of their vacation time in other countries. That's not to say he
thinks it's silly to do so. He understands the importance of travelling and
seeing the world.
David Swanton understands
that travel is a great way to gain perspective about the world and the myriad
of cultures and peoples that make life so interesting. Maybe he enjoys travel
less than others because he spent twelve years in the Royal Air Force. He got
to see a lot of the world during his time in the military. When he was traveling
he realized how much he appreciated his own culture and home country. Unless
you get out into the world it's hard to appreciate what you have that you grow
up with.
One place David Swanton
really did enjoy traveling to was the United States. He has been to the US a
few times. It's relatively easy to get a ticket and fly across the pond to the
country. It's not terribly expensive either.
David Swanton has always had
a good time when he visited the US. He finds it fascinating to see a lot of
similarities with English culture. Since he is a student of history in his free
time, David Swanton loves learning about all of the colonial history that
covers the eastern seaboard of the US. One day he hopes to tour all of the
important locations of the Revolutionary War and Colonial America. Despite
being a young country, David Swanton knows that the US has a long and
complicated history, much like England's!
