What are some things you don't like about traveling?

i love travel ling with friends before. now i don't do that more often since the fare or the gasoline is already high.it seems that traveling is already a luxury amidst the financial constraints that the world is facing now. if someone will invite me for free i would be very much willing to go. i love to see places. it was just sad that i don't get to see them more often. when i got the chance to travel with my husband during his event trips i would love to do so.

What a coincident, I just started a topic about the worst travel which you ever had.... For me, I hate to carry lugages, probablly because when I traveled a lot, I usual moved my staff around as a student, so not a single time I can have a light carrying.

The worst thing that ever happened while traveling for me was sitting on a plane next to a guy that was really drunk. I could smell him, not just his breath but sweating the smell out of his pores. I asked to change seats. Later he started talking to people and annoying them, glad I moved, it was a long flight.

What a very appropriate(?) discussion for today.^_^ I just got back from a tour you see and yes, I havent had any good sleep for the last 48 hours. It was also very hectic when I got back. Anyway, Ill try to focus more on the traveling experience since that is the main topic of your discussion, right? Well, it wasnt my first 8 hour travel by bus without my parents but it has been a while since my last one, almost 7 years actually. One of our major subjects kinda requires us to be involved in Exposure programs that would definitely aid us in better understanding the actual operations of a successful exporting business. We were able to visit their warehouses and shipyards, as well as drive around 2 interconnecting cities that are highly patronized by foreign investors. The number of hours traveled seemed to be more than the time that we visited the cities and the plants. But it was okay for me because I used that time inside the bus to either get a bit of sleep or to get to know my other classmates more.^_^ At the end of the 2-day tour, I wanted to stay a bit longer in those places and learn more but we do have time constraints. However, Im glad that at least I was able to visit those places as well as establish good friendship bonds with my other classmates who I usually dont get the chance to talk to during classes.

I love wondering new places and especially by train. Because I hardly get chance to travel by rail. By train I can see so many thing outside like trees, birds, animals al the natural beauty. But my experience while traveling once by train was very weird. It was last year when you were traveling and suddenly a lady came near me asking how I am? and all..started conversation while I was not interested but she was continued. I once said..I am not interested in whatever you are saying but still she was like...radio just going on. I got irritated and then I said this to my husband to handle this and sort out. Just tell her to go and sit in her place. He then insisted her to sit in her own place saying that I am not well..:-) I was very much shocked that after she sat on her sit she started mummering about me. It was the worst feeling. I thought is she mad or something that she wants to talk forcely where other is not interested..

All place have to be first of all, be made aware to us.The superb environment of place to where we travel makes us forget its demerits by the beauty and class at times.Traveling through road has been as much troubling for me in my entire life in any form of it can come through,then by train has also experiences of less comfort and dealing with different people too is a tough task.By air travel has also not been so wonderful at times,with the fellow passengers.The luggage also give's us hick ups during traveling.New places can be unsuitable too.

Travelling makes me very tired too. It also makes me feel sick alot of times also, especially if I am not the one driving. I hate wasting alot of time on the road also. It makes me feel dizzy at times too and gives me a headache.

hi neelianoscet!^^ i love traveling! but yeah, just like you said, no matter how fun it is, there would always be some discomfort. first of all, preparing things. most of the time i get a hard time preparing my things because i want to bring a lot of stuff which i cannot do. sometimes i tend to bring too much clothes which makes me suffer because my baggage is heavy! another would be the public restrooms. i have been to a lot of dirty public toilets and it's really a discomfort to use them. i've been to nice toilets too but they are just few. so sometimes i just tend to hold it in until i arrive in my destination. this is why i bring a lot of tissues.^^ lastly would be expensive souvenir items! why can't they just sell cheap souvenirs so we can buy a lot more right?? that would definitely promote their place.^^

i guess i've been lucky so far in my traveling. i've not had much nasty experiences when i travel abroad. i'm an asian and i've only visited asian countries so that might be why i've had pleasant trips. i've been to china, japan, thailand and malaysia. other than the occasional rude people who can be found in any and every country, i can't say i've had any nasty experiences. i do a lot of research before i travel to any country the first time. i learn the culture and do's & don't's of the country so that i won't offend others unintentionally. i also plan my route so that i know how to get from one place to another. i do get lost sometimes but that is fun too. i get to see things i wouldn't have seen otherwise.

Hello, My friends and me last min decided to take a last min hockey trip to see our team hopefully make the playoffs. This was all thought of within less that one week of the trip . Had to hurry and find tickets , and rent a car . The car was a little smaller and 2 had to sit in the back and all they did is complain and complain! I even gave up my front seat and sat back there and made due. Sure it was cramped but i paid for the car with no help . I had a few I oww you money and well only one person out of 4 paid me . That would of been ok (ugg maybe i didnt have the money lol) just was the complaining and seeing our team lose. Sure there some good times as well . I think with vacations the things that get me the most is money because you cant do all you wanna do and i know my fiance has a hard time just letting go and all he does is think when we get back we need the money . Also, its hard if you get lost or dive in some city like new york city or dc . subway remember that LOL.

I've only ever traveled to one place in my life either by myself or where there wouldn't be someone waiting for me at the airport. That was kinda scary for a small-town girl! But, it wasn't bad and I did it for several years in a row. Now, it's harder with kids in tow but we usually only travel to places we know.

One of the most exhausting travel experiences I had was in China. Of course I was with my friends, and we were travelling from Beijing to Shanghai by train. It was mostly to save on fares and also to experience the countryside. The journey itself was uneventful and the Chinese people were very helpful. But once we got down at the station there was so many steep escalators that we had to get on to up and down so many times carrying our heavy bags with thousands of people rushing past us it was absolutely horrific. Even worse were the porters who were insisting that they carry the bags for us but were demanding such exhorbitant amounts, and they didnt look very friendly either. All of us were utterly drained by the time we got out of the station that we said never again by train in Chine.

Hi,neelianoscet.I would like to sleep on the train,but many people like chatting .Sometimes they speak very loudly.I don't know how to deal with them.I don't like to chat with strangers .I just want to get a good sleep.But it is always impossible for me .

I LOVE traveling! Exhausting, true, risky, unfortunately true, but then so can crossing the street. I prefer to travel alone, since it forces me to make friends and really go out of my way to interact with others, both fellow tourists, as well as locals. I find that I tend to see more, go to more places, experience more things and learn more, than if I were with someone I know. Traveling with friends provides you with a comfort zone. Alone, you are forced out of it. Then the learning and experiences really begin. There has not been a country I've either lived in or visited, where the locals did not make exceptions for tourists... to a point. I think the trick is to understand you're not on your home turf anymore, and act accordingly by treading carefully, respectfully, but with an open mind. There is something in everyone that responds to this in some way or other. For every bad experience I've had while traveling: drivers who overcharge, overly-friendly natives (not always a bad thing, actually... ahem), hostile and unfriendly ones, etc., I simply put on my very-sorry-I'm-new-here look, and someone or other always comes to my rescue. It is important to distinguish the very-sorry-I'm-new-here look, from the I'm-a-clueless-dork-take-advantage-of-me look. I'd demonstrate, but considering the limitations of the print medium... Bear in mind that criminals and jerks do not take advantage of people randomly. They always scan for potential targets, select, observe, then act. Enjoy the scenery in whatever new place you find yourself in. Just keep an eye out on where you're walking, and who's walking too near you.

I really don't mind going to new places and meeting new people in foreign lands, but what that problem for me is that fact that I don't sleep too well when away from the familiarity of my own home. This means I get very tired and then after a while I am counting the days until I can get home and have a good night's sleep. - Derek

i love traveling. with my family.i enjoyed the jurny. i am citting window side of trees and bird's are very nice.

I don't like being lost.it is a terrible waste of time.I also don't want to lose money and come face-to-face with a robber or kidnapper.I don't want to be hurt while traveling.

i went to travel for some times , but i had go by myself . so very time we din't meet the trouble . if i want to travel by myself , i will choice go with the travelling team .

I love travelling and there is nothing that I find tiresome about travelling. It is said that "It is nice to have a place to go to but it is the journey that matters in the end." Always travel safe and with enough money in your purse and travelling will be the most enjoyable experience for you!!

I love traveling! I cannot complain about it at all, except if it's in a car, horrible long car rides really can put me over the edge. Once I get to the destination I am happy as ever!
