If money was not a factor in what I would do for a living I would probably be a history tour guide. I am the biggest history nerd. This summer I interned in Connecticut and was surrounded by tons of historical places. Every weekend I would take a train to a different city and explore. My favorite city was Salem, Massachusetts because it was the city that the witch trials took place. I was able to see the House of Seven Gables, houses that inspired the Parker Brothers board games such as Monopoly and CLue, and went on a witch ghost tour ( with a real wicken) . I am from Orlando, Florida and I don't like to be "touristy" because I am bombarded with tourists everywhere I go, but I went into every gift shop and bought every souvenir. I think it would be fun to dress up like a character and take other history nerds on tours... well for a little bit.
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." Roald Dahl
