How do you feel when you are about to travel somewhere?

I have an extreme love for traveling. When I am about to travel somewhere, such as sitting on the plane for example, I get this sudden feeling of liberation. It feels like I am letting go of all my worries, problems, etc. It's actually very relaxing because I can sometime be an anxious person. So, how do you feel when you are about to travel and why? I have known some people who get very anxious and uneasy about leaving and letting go of their everyday life routines for a little while.

I feel excited when I go to beauty spot. Especially, you travel with your family or good friends. I haven't been aboard to travel, I want to see the different place of interest, learn their culture, then got more experience and open my mind.

I agree with you completely. I think the more people travel, the more open their minds are to different ideas. It enhances who you are as a person in my opinion.

Hi Britster, I love the sensation of taking off, and landing during the flight. The middle part of the flight is quite boring, especially those long hours distance flight. I hate the packing and unpacking for any trip, but I love the holiday itself. I love to put everything behind, and just enjoy the trip ahead.

Hi Britster, thanks for the best response. Just a reminder to you, as newbie at mylot, please remember to write longer per post. You will notice that all the old timers here write very, very long post. That is due to the computation method use by mylot system. A single long post can make more money than ten or twenty shorter posts. So make it a goal to write at least seven lines per posting. Stretch as long as possible, you will see a difference from your daily report.

The way I feel when traveling mainly depends on where, why and for how long before I get back home to my country...usually,if it's just for vacation, I get really hyped and ecstatic...otherwise, like the time when i had to leave my country with my parents to live in another country for about a year...and leave all my friends and cousins...I was sooo depressed..I guess i could admit that i was traumatized...LOL...so then again, for me it really depends...

Yes it definitely depends on the situation. I also had to move one time and leave all my friends behind. That kind of traveling was not fun and I got depressed too! So, I know exactly how you felt :)

It depends where I'm going. I've been on the plane 6 times and one time on my own going back. I do feel the excitement but you can never stop having irrational thought whenever you are on the plane and often you'll feel nervous. I've never felt nervous even I've been on a plane on a real bad weather. I don't really have any fears when going away travelling on my own, in fact, I get excited with the computer machine inside the plane. =D

Thanks, that's just me really. If something happens, happens. It's best to think positive than having negative thoughts.

I'm happy to see that someone else doesn't really have fears when traveling either, just excitement. :)

I feel very impressed and look forward to that place in mind. I really traveling, you know? I 'm really bored sitting at home, playing games, I want to go outside taking strange taste of wind. But the only problem i'm facing is not enough money to travel. Travel needs money... Feel free to drop by at my site: www.game4pal.com , thank you

I know, that is the only bad part about traveling. It is so expensive! If only it could be a lot cheaper... then the possibilities for traveling could be endless!

Before my trip I have dreams about the trip and about my travel. I do feel free and careless when I am going on a vacation. Perhaps its because I am leaving behind the work and house etc. Either way I tend to leave my work load and tension behind me when I am traveling.

That's a good thing! I know some people who bring their work with them when they travel. In my opinion, that defeats the purpose! Traveling should be relaxing. :)

I would be definitely exciting too if I am about to go somewhere far. I would love to travel too, and to see other places other than the place I live here. About letting go about my daily routine, I would try my best to relax.

The window seat is also my number one preference. There is nothing better then looking out the window at the beautiful scenery when you are traveling. :)

Travelling makes us bore when we travell alone and not having our friends or family members with us .But , when we travell with our friends then we never come to know how the time is going away from us . travelling with our friends lets us do lot of fun and enjoyment.Travelling is not boring,it depends on with whom we are travelling .
• United States

Yes, I agree. Traveling with friends and family is the best part. It's always great to share such a great experience with someone else!

I don't usually get bored when I travel, but it can definitely be tiring after a while. Just being able to relax for a little bit is key.

My feeling will depend on where am travelling to and most importantly why am travelling to the place. I don't feel good when going back to school because of the stress associated with being there. Another reason why i hate long distance journey is that i do have motion sickness while travelling and this usually make my journey miserable. On the other hand, i like it when am travelling home from school. I feel like a child that received his wishgift as a birth present. Thanks.

Oh yes I know how you feel. Traveling back to school is pretty stressful because you realize all the work that is coming up. When vacation time finally comes around, every tension is finally released!

i love traveling but the feeling depends on many factor. Its depend on the environment and your purpose of traveling. I like winter season for traveling or middle season like no cool no warm. Purpose like if u going to college tour then it is so interesting and enjoyable tour with many friends. Traveling make us able to conduct with outside world so anyways i feel good to travel. But mostly i like enjoyable places for travel.

I completely agree that it depends on the environment and purpose for traveling. For me personally, I love traveling in the fall. And like you said, traveling does connect us with the outside world. It opens our eyes to other cultures.

Hi there i had a chance to travel outside our country. But its already 2 years ago at first i was nervous, i dont really know what will happen to me in other country eventhough its just 3 days vacation i am still worrying whether the place or the people itself there was kind enough. Still the worries was there even when we are in the plane already, and then when we already in the other country the worries was removed and i just saw the beauty of the place. Well travelling is really fun to do meeting other people, dealing with their cultures its really a good experience for me hope that will not be the last looking forward to visit another country soon. Happy mylotting.

Thats pretty interesting. I never really get worried about what will happen to me in the other country, but obviously thats a good reason to worry. Every experience I have had abroad has been great so far and I am looking forward to another visit to another country soon too!

Oh I have been to France and Germany, but I would love to go to Rome, Greece and Austria. I can only imagine what the beautiful sights in Rome look like. I'm really interested in art history, so it would be very exciting to go there.

Packing is always exciting but the unpacking part after traveling is my least favorite!

I feel very excited each time I am about to travel somewhere. I finish off with my packing well in advance and think about the travel and the people I am going to meet, the gifts I have to give them etc. I also feel worried about whether my family would be able to do the daily chores properly and perfectly in my absence and keep instructing them about things to be done in my absence. I also make out list of jobs to be executed day to day so that they do not forget or skip from doing it.

I see that you like to plan things out! I wish I could be more like that when it comes to traveling. I often am too spontaneous about my trip and things don't end up turning out the way I had hoped!
