There are people that just have it in their blood to travel but there are those who would just rather be at home. I have known people that have never left the place they were raised then others who never stopped moving when they were old enough to go. What about you..are you a traveler or would you rather stay home? Maybe your in between the two.

No, I don't like travelling. I like my home best. I have been to New Delhi and Mumbai two of the places people like to visit monuments and beutiful places but I never went to a beach in mumbair or Lalquila In New Delhi.
Seems taht I am a little lazy when it comes to travelling.

to tell you frankly i am a home buddy. i enjoy being at home with my wife and my son. i also enjoy travelling but i would enjoy it if i was with them. if there is nothing important to do outside i stay at home. now that i have a new band i know travewlling will start again. i am getting ready for that. i am making sure my laptop is okay for chatting and to see my chld on the webcam

he is only three and bringing the family means i will spend for them, then i will no longer earn anything if i will bring them along. of course i would like to be with them but i need to earn at the same time. so seeing them on the webcam is much better than bringing them, but if i hit it big OF COURSE I WILL BE BRINGING THEM ALONG WITH ME.

It's a lot harder to travel if you have to leave your loved ones behind. Being in a band I would say you would be quite the traveler. Maybe your family can go with you some while your boy is not in school. Maybe he can pick up a few pointers for his band days.

I am a traveler. Have lived here all my life but have traveled all over the western ,northern and some southern states. Haven't been to any eastern states yet. I plan on seeing Europe at some point. Hope it pans out. I went to British Columbia Canada back in the mid nineties and enjoyed it immensely. I saw some the islands surrounding there as well. I think my favorite part of the US so far is the Redwoods of California. Beautiful!

I have traveled too. I haven't seen the Redwoods but have been to LA and a small city called San Bernadino. I went a few places while I was there and got to ride across the desert to Las Vegas. It was a beautiful drive. Talk about being out of my element. I would love to visit Canada. The only other country I have visited was Japan. Thanks for responding.

Yes, Las Vegas is a surprisingly lovely areas. Were you around for the sunrise? Beautiful! And the sunsets are gorgeous. Something about the desert.

Yes..we left California very early. It was incredible. I was in Vegas for four days each trip. I actually got to see a cloud in the distance raining! My grandmaother said it was a rare sight to see. I took pictures but they are a little hard to make out.

Yes I am a traveler.
But I am not international I can afford only to travel somewhere around my country.
There are many places in our country which are worth watching.
I think I am traveling at least one location in one month that too for over night.
We are all college friends and managing to go by deciding a specific location and time.
These are all turning into my memorable moments

Thanks! My boyfriend and I took this cruise for $299/person for a 5 day cruise! We went to Cozumel and Progresso, Mexico. It was a wonderful trip, for an amazingly cheap price. We also benefited because we were able to drive to the port, so we didnt have to pay for a plane ticket.
You should definitely look into them now. While gas is cheap, the cruises will stay low!

HI ! Jen!
Given an opportunity, I love travelling to different places. Our is a vast country and there are many places, which have not been visited by me. I make it a point to visit different beaches, hill stations, historical places etc. at least once in a year for the sake of change and enhancing my knowledge. I learn a lot about people, culture and style of food and living over there, when I visit such places. However, travelling does not come without hassles and one needs to comprise on many aspect while staying and travelling at different places. Sometimes, I write about my travelling experiences on Associated Contents, you can see one of my articles over there, with the below mentioned link.

I am 50/50 but my husband would rather stay home. If I do not plan trips, we would go nowhere. If I were single, with the financial means, I would travel to my heart's delight!

I would rather stay at home, but that is after I have traveled the seven seas. I have been very fortunate, to have had the opportunity to travel around the world since I was very young, but after many years traveling and now that, it is rather uncomfortable to travel I rather stay home. Anyhow I have move around a lot because I have business in a couple of different places and traveling is still a most. However, I am sure that one day I will find a place that I will love so much that I will stay.

Hi Jen. Im definitely a traveler. I've been to North America, Europe, and Asia. I plan on visiting Egypt or South Africa one day. Sadly I don't have any travel plans anytime soon, I wish I could just go somewhere far, sit back and relax, basically just get away from all the brouhaha going on around me. Pardon my semi rant Jen , Cheers!

I would love to travel but I have some restrictions so I can go as far as Southeast Asian countries only. I don't have visas for other countries. I love to travel I started traveling just this year. the first city I visited was Bangkok and it was really a good thing to travel. It is educational. Next year I am planning to visit Indonesia or India.

I love to travel and my work takes me to various places. I had been to many a places now. My father used to travel a lot too, and I would accompany him. I guess it rubbed on to me. But that doesnt mean I dont like to be at home. Sometimes i prefer to snuggle up at my home and wont go antwhere no matter what the situation would compel me to. Hehehehe
