Around the world by way of 10 cities

Dubai_desert

Prompted by Jason Kottke, Steven Johnson and Richard Florida, who have all posted the list of cities they visited in 2007, I looked back to identify my own list. It is as follows:

London
Zurich
Detroit
Cancun
Fort Lauderdale
Beverly Hills
Paris
Santa Monica
Dubai
Abu Dhabi

A couple of thoughts on my list. I was far less well travelled than Mr Florida or Mr Johnson although I gave Mr Kottke a run for his money (he has the excuse of a new baby). I also neglected to go to Asia, which is quite an oversight given the new shape of the world.

But I still like my list. Small, but full of interest. The photo above, by the way, is a shot I took of sunset in the desert outside Dubai.

  1. You didn’t neglect to go to Asia as Dubai and Abu Dhabi count as part of Asia.

    Best,
