I do, actually there are two places. The city that's my "hometown" and my birthtown where I used to spend summers as a kid.

I like these places but if I had a good reason to leave (a partner or a prospect of a good job) I would be gone in a heartbeat.

@CrazyMusicLover I always wished I had a place that I went to durin summers as a kid. Seems like everyone around me was always going places during summer. I never had any stories to tell once I got back to school after summer break.

What's there to do in your hometown/birth town?

@iamnikki My home city is surrounded by the woods where you can go hiking, there are some lakes you can swim in or do some water sports in, there are some seasonal events you can go to but it's nothing big. Things like summer cinema in a local amphitheatre, street food or wine festivals, some small live shows or a movie festival. Shows with big names are extremely rare. There are a few art galleries, a zoo, a botanical garden, a museum. We only have one main street that is usually very lively but not obnoxiously loud during the summer and around Christmas. There are outdoor restaurants and bars all along it. The only time the main street gets overcrowded is when some special event takes place that attracts more people than usual and it's very rare.

I don't know my birthtown that much but there's a big dam nearby where people go for vacations and you can swim in it, do water sports or sail a boat, there are also thermal spas with some attractions. There are also hills, forests, lakes where you can hike. I have honestly no idea if there's any nightlife right in the town but at the dam, there are loud parties in summer that can sometimes be heard all night long from far away. Of course, as kids we were usually spending most of the time in our grandparent's garden or we biked around the town. We used to bike around the dam as well but it was a really long trip.

@CrazyMusicLover Sounds like nice area. I have some of those things here too, but it's just not new/fresh anymore. I really need a change of scenery. Until then, guess I'll take backroads etc for scenery changes.
