A global influence.

Everyone should visit the UK. OK, maybe not, as it's already a small and crowded chain of islands. Regardless, the UK has given the world its global language, and has tremendous influence on shaping the earth and humanity, both good and bad.

For me, it's a land of adventure and culture, where many people think and talk like Americans, but have plenty of somewhat subtle differences. British are more formal, we say in the US, dress nicer, are conversationally adept, and, as my dad jokes, invented the best rain gear in the world out of necessity.

There's plenty to see and do in the UK, and I never get tired of the fantastic conversations I have with Brits around the world. I love and value the UK.
