I cant recall every country but my dads work was always transferring him so we moved around a lot...but I do remember Japan (visiting my mom), going to Canada, to TJ, to Hungary.
If I could be an animal, Id love to be a wolf. Wolves are one of my favourite animals.
There is one big picture window in this room and the curtains are always open to let the sunlight in. I like bright, natural light in a room.
