I live in the Philippines. I have not traveled abroad, but I want to. I am planning to visit HongKong Disneyland with my son next year as my birthday present to him. I have traveled a lot domestically but I've always dreamed of stepping into a foreign soil.

I was traveling a lot because my job required me to do that. I am traveling five to six times in a year. But now, I am changing my job, so I am settling down now and stay in my hometown . When you haven't go abroad before, you may dream to go abroad. But when you have a job required you to travel to overseas too many times, you will start changing your opinion about traveling. Now I am enjoying my work without traveling

I have been traveling for 8 years. I just started my new job about 6 months. So I think I need another 7 and a half years before I got bored with my current job . Well, there is a good thing and bad thing to have a job that required us to traveling. The good thing, we can see the world free of charge and will have plenty of stamp on our passport . The bad thing is, we have less time to see our family

It must be nice to have a job hat requires you to travel. You enjoy traveling and you get paid for it. Working at home must be compensating a lot but it must also be the most boring work.

I live in England and I have visited about 50 different countries in the world. My favorite that I have been to are Samoa, Australia, New Zealand, Belize and the Seychelles. I have been to Hong Kong and think it is lovely there. I went to Disneyland in California and thought it was very enjoyable. I hope that your son will have an excellent birthday.

Lucky you. Europe is one of the places that I dream of visiting. I like it in France but I heard it is so expensive to stay there.

I live in the U.S. and I have traveled out of it a few times. My first time was when I went to Mexico, Jamaica, and the Cayman Islands on a cruise. I was 16 and I absolutely loved it. We went back to mexico for a week in Cancun when I was 18 and when I was 19 I went on a school trip with my Latin class to Italy and I had the time of my life! I wish I could go back. However, I graduate this May and as my gift I get to go on a second cruise and we are going to the Mexican Riviera. I dont go far (except Italy) but I have been out of the U.S.

I'm an airline pilot based in the UK, so I travel a lot. We only have a few night stops at the base I'm at so while I've been to a lot of places, it's usually limited to 45 minutes at the airport. I have spent a lot of time in Italy, France, Scotland, the UK, USA, Poland and The Netherlands as well as New Zealand. I'd love to explore more of Eastern Europe, I think it's a fascinating place. I'd also love to road trip in the USA. Enjoy your travels!

Wow, pilots are privileged to be traveling and yet they get paid. It must be great to have been to several countries, tasted different kinds of foods, mingled with different types of people, learned various cultures, experienced different weathers and meet new friends from foreign lands.

Palm Island in Dubai - Dubai
Even though I traveled a lot within my country, I had traveled abroad only once to Dubai. I went there because my father was working there. I really liked that place because it was really developed & was different than our place also I was thrilled about going abroad. Once upon a time the place was almost a desert but it had developed real fast. I do wish to go to other countries but may be in the near future. Happy Lotting

Hi, I reside in India. And I would be glad to share, I travelled abroad just the last month for the first time, to Dubai UAE. It was a nice trip, Dubai is really ahead of many cities in terms of automation and technology. I was startled to discover those new techies they've been using so long. I really adore that, apart from this the climatic conditions are really extreme!! It was just too HOT there!!
