Being in America isn't old-hat - it's where we're from - but I get excited to be in other parts of the world like Athens and Croatia which were quite cool. I'm a sightseer. I go see the sights and museums. I'm into that kind of thing.
You owe it to yourself to be the best person possible. Because if you are others will want to be with you want to provide you with the things you want in exchange for what you're giving to them.
