the thing about blogging is...

While I was looking over my blog roll, and a few rss feeds, I came around to the idea of writing on one of these topics;

-american expats (us citizens leaving the country to live elsewhere)
-budget accommodations becoming more chic

It's a bit difficult to narrow things down when it comes to traveling, since the blanket topic itself is so broad, but as a student I think it's pretty nifty when the traveling industry shifts to attract a younger or more budget inclined demographic. I'm interested in the various reasons Americans choose to leave their country and settle in another, and why they've chosen their adopted homes.
