I miss that New Orleans Cajun and Creole cooking
“So being from New Orleans, something I really miss is the cooking and the people. Like, being from New Orleans is one of those things - you love the Cajun and the Creole cooking. So if you don't miss that, something is wrong with you. Yeah.”

I miss the mad Danish tourists in Solvang.
“Well, I'm from Solvang, California, which is a Danish town on the Central Coast. Bakeries everywhere, windmills everywhere, huge tourist attraction, and I really miss my friends and family. But I think the thing that I miss most of all is when actual Danish people would come to town and they'd be really mad, and they'd go, "This is not what Copenhagen looks like," and we'd have to apologize, you know, for getting it wrong. I miss that.”

The close-knit community in my small town.
“My hometown is Longview, Texas, and I miss - I just miss some of the people. I miss my family most of all. While being up here, um, I've missed that close-knit community. I miss being able to, you know, just talk to your neighbors, and everyone just kinda knows one another, like, that's one thing I do miss. Um, just the real simple, easy-going, small-town life.”

Having fun the simple way in Georgian suburbia.
“I'm from Cumming, Georgia, which is like a super boring suburb, and there isn't a lot to do there. But I do miss getting to pick up my friends and drive around aimlessly or walk around the Walmart or go to WaHo at 2 a.m. I really miss when that was my idea of a fun night.”

I miss snowy, snowy winters in New Jersey.
“You know, currently I'm in Los Angeles, but my hometown is back in New Jersey, and I guess the thing I miss most about it is snow. I haven't seen snowfall in about three years since I got to college, and that's definitely a really nice thing in the winter - be able to go out, build a snowman, go sledding. So, definitely miss that.”

It was close to New York, but had no bubble tea!
“So my hometown is a medium-small town in New Jersey, kinda near New York City, and one thing I do miss is that easy access to New York City. It's not that easy to get in, but, like, it's an hour drive. It's an hour train ride - 45-minute drive, so that's been nice. And what I don't miss is that my house is fairly far from our downtown area. It's walkable but you have to commit, and where I live now, it's five-minute walk to Downtown. It's amazing. Also, there are no bubble tea places in my hometown. It was a tragedy.”

“Cling on national anthem. So I don't know if my last video got submitted or not. I've been having a lot of problems. But anyway, I come from New Jersey and I grew up right on the water right on the ocean. I miss the water. The smell of the sea. The breeze. Um, I don't I won't miss it in the winter because I haven't been here quite a year, but because that wind is is wicked, but I miss the water.”
