On Thursday, August 4^th, the Foreign Lawyers Committee and Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Section will be hosting a Roundtable on International Legal Practice, where members from across the globe will engage in an informal discussion about their practice areas in public or private international law. This topic got BBA Week wondering where our members enjoy going when they go abroad, so we are asked:

"What is your favorite international travel destination? "

If you would like to respond to a future Voices of the Bar, make sure you send a headshot, and contact Eric Fullerton at efullerton@bostonbar.org.

	Daniel M. Berman - Director, Graduate Tax Program, Boston University School of Law "Sydney, Australia. I've been lucky enough to go there twice on business, and I found a place where everyone seemed comfortable and at peace with each other. People certainly looked different – there were Anglos, native Australians, people with visible roots in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and all over Europe and Asia – but everyone spoke in the same odd accent. It's one of the world's great cities, with lots to see and do and eat. But it's also a place where "in a couple of days" means a nonspecific time ranging from a week to six months, maybe a year, maybe longer. If that's OK with you, you'll like it there."
	Anne-Marie Dinius - AMDinius LAW "Hands-down, Milan. The food, fashion, language, cafes, history, proximity to Venice, Verona, and the Italian Riviera make Milan a place that could be my only travel destination - over and over - for the rest of my life."
	Darren Braham – Prince Lobel Tye "As I am originally from England, I'd probably get a lot of grief if I didn't mention London. But if I had my druthers, my favorite would be the Cinque Terre region on the coast of Italy, which is accessible by boat, train or by foot only."
	Craig Estes – Middlesex County District Attorney's Office "Budapest. A beautiful city split neatly by the Danube, with wonderful architecture, a fascinating history, and fokhagymakrémleves, quite possibly the world's greatest garlic soup."
