I went around the world when I was 20 years old. I decided on a route that included Australia and some free flights there. On that trip that lasted just over one year I went to the USA, Fiji, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. I still wanted to go to many other countries and when I was 30 years old I went on another long trip of a few months I went to the USA again, French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, New Zealand and Samoa. I love tropical islands, cool mountains, interesting cities and seeing wildlife. I like to meet the local people and find out about their culture. Which countries do you want to go to in the future? What sort of places do you enjoy visiting?

i love to travel and I always go on vacations every year where I go camping in the mountains, but I have never gone very far from home. I live in the United States and I have only ever been out of the country once and that was only to Mexico. We just went right across the border and we only stayed for about thirty minutes. I am sure there are some parts of Mexico that are really nice but that was not one of them. If I could go to any country in the world I think my first choice would be Brazil. I live in a desert now and I would love to go somewhere tropical and somewhere near the ocean. I think the beaches and natural landscaping would be gorgeous and I would love to try the food. I've also heard that the people in Brazil are really nice. I would love to get to know about their culture. Another choice would be Italy and more specifically Milan. I really like fashion and Milan is one of the fashion capitals of the world, although i am far from rich and I don't think that I would be able to buy any of the designer clothes but I would love to see them and the stores since there are no designers stores where I live. I also love soccer and AC Milan is my favorite team. They are very talented and the fans in Milan are so passionate I think being at one of their games very exciting.

The USA is a huge country and I have been to California three times and to Hawaii once. I would like to see Cape Cod, Boston, New York and Washington DC. You didn't spend long in Mexico and having been on a day trip from San Diego I can understand why. It really is much nicer south of Cancun because I have been there and seen the Mayan ruins. Yes, Milan has such style and lovely architecture. I think Italy is a charming country with an interesting history. Thanks for your excellent response.

I've been to the Far East awhile back ago. Visited Japan, Okinawa, the Phillipine Island, Hong Kong. Also been to Adak. Alaska and Guam. I was in the Navy back then. I'd like to travel to China and ride their trains. I don't like to fly very much so I don't travel overseas.

Traveling is one of my favorite pastimes. In fact, a couple of days ago, I just came back from an 8-day holiday in Macao and Hong Kong. I've been traveling regularly for the past 20+ years and have seen many countries such as Australia, New Zealand, USA, around 10 countries in Europe, Thailand, Hong Kong, Macau and Malaysia. The country I've been to most often is Australia. I would certainly like to go back to the USA and various parts of Europe like Switzerland, England, Austria and Venice, and maybe also countries I've not been like Hawaii, Canada and China. My holidays usually encompass some shopping at the big cities, driving through mountains, valleys, pasture lands, national parks and going to see nature and wildlife. As long as my legs can carry me and I have money for traveling, I'll pack my bags every year and go somewhere for a break.

well, i always wanted to go to japan where all the animes, mangas and videogames came fom especially Akihabara.But i heard that the cost of living there is so expensive and maybe i should bring about 30k before converting them to yen currency. and one more thing, i like to go to Universal Studio or maybe Disneyland. I maybe a bit old but sometimes we should unleash our inner child sometimes.

I am from Spain and I have never traveled abroad, so I wish I could visit a few places in the future. I wanted to go to United Kingdom, specifically Scotland. I love the landscapes of Highlands. I also want to travel Japan. It is a country that have always intrigued me because the culture is so different from mine. I would like to visit a huge city like Tokio and see the lifestyle of normal people in a normal day. Could be very instructive. In the third place, I wish I could visit Las Vegas before I die. The house always wins, but I want to make a little try, hahaha.

I am currently learning Spanish and am really enjoying it. I hope that you will travel abroad to all the places you wish to go to. My brother-in-law went to Japan and he loved it there. Asia is so interesting with culture that is so different to own. I imagine that Las Vegas would be a really exciting destination.

There are a couple of places abroad to which I would like to travel. One of the places is Italy, in the Tuscany region. It looks beautiful with the vineyards and the architecture. While I was in Italy, I would also like to visit Rome for the history and Venice for the canals. I would also like to visit New Zealand. Several movies and TV shows I enjoy have been filmed there, and I love the landscape. Nothing too exciting, I know.:)

How wonderful! I'm jealous of you, how could you been to so many countries when 20, I'm 21 now, but i still haven't got a chance to go abroad. So I'm wondering what support you to travel so many places, are you born rich? you made it on yourself? or did you get a good job? Tell me ,please. I just wondering. And it may inspire me on some aspects. Have you ever been China,it also have many places of interests, green hills, clear waters, nice smell air and picturesque scenery. Plus:I'm a Chinese girl.

I love traveling and even managed to afford a trip to Greece from my paper round when I was a teenager. I have been to Los Angeles three times now and it is a huge city. It would be lovely if I could go to Japan one day and you want to go back there because you enjoyed it so much.

[i]Hello maximax8, You are blessed to have traveled around the world. The fares and hotels are expensive and I don't think I can afford it. Fortunately also I was able to traveled to few countries courtesy of the company I am working with. I visited the USA, France, Germany and Guam. In case I can save enough money I will try to visit my Asian neighbor like Singapore, China, Hongkong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, India. I would like also to visit the Middle East, an African country and South America. I wish I could. Regards.[/i]

I tend to enjoy vacations that have a big historical and cultural aspect, as I get bored just laying out on the beach doing nothing. I think I would like to visit Costa Rica and China in the future. Costa Rica because I speak good Spanish and because it is a stable Latin American country with friendly people and amazing natural beauty. China because I am starting to learn Chinese and because they are becoming a world superpower with an eastern culture very different from ours, which would be interesting to experience.

I am currently learning Spanish at the moment and I am finding it very enjoyable. I would love to go back to Central America for the second time and go to South America. I imagine Costa Rica is a beautiful country with lots of wildlife. Next door Nicaragua sounds lovely with its old towns like Leon and Granada. You are doing very well indeed to learn Chinese. China sounds like a fascinating country and I would love to see the Great Wall. Thanks for your excellent response.

Welcome to My Lot. I am sure that you would have an amazing time in Rio de Janeiro. I would love to go there and see the view from Sugar Loaf Mountain. I would adore it in Barcelona I am sure. I am currently learning Spanish. I have been to France and to Greece. Coming home from Kenya I got a superb view of the pyramids. I would like to o to Egypt and stand on the ground. I am glad you found the topic interesting. Travel is my favorite subject. In January 2009 I am taking my toddler son to Cape Town.

I'd like to go to so many places in the world, but the one place I would like to go without a doubt is Egypt. I don't know why this country seems to attract so many people? well, maybe because it's full of history and mystery. All I know is that it holds such a great amount of archeological artifacts and mystic wonders that is the one place I would put all my effort in visiting. Now, there are other countries that have lots of interesting things to see like Greece, another great place to visit for its mythological history and beutiful islands, and the list goes on and on. In conclusion the world its full of wonderful places to visit, unfortunatly some of us don't have the time or money to do it. Well, leaving in a bright note dreams do came true and like the bilble says "good things come to those who wait" I'll paiteintly wait until mine comes true.
