People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. I am looking for a sunny beach to lie on or some places to relax. Especially after winter, i need more sunshine. What's your plan?

There are many things that I like about travelling, but most of all travelling gives me the chance to visit a place that is different from my own country and I find that very interesting. I like to see the famous sights as well as the unknown places, and I am interested in art, architechture and many other things. I am an artist and when I go to a new place to like to visit the art museums and some of the local galleries. I am also interested in history and culture and I like to visit some of the museums. When I have spent some time in the city I like to visit the countryside or many some islands.

I have never traveled outside of the United States but I would like too. I would like to go to Mexico to visit my husbands family and just to get away from all the every day boring things here it seems like all we do is work and poay bills and go to Wal Mart! I would like to just get away form all this and not have to worry about getting up on time and meeting all kinds of deadlines and quotas. Just to enjoy some time away from the same old routine for the last God knows how many years!I would love to see the beach in Mexico and not have a worry oon my mind!

I travel to see attractive looking architecture in historic cities. I like to see beautiful looking countryside. I enjoy watching the native wildlife and meeting the local people. The world is full of different sights. I have seen Sydney Harbor with the white sails of the opera house. I have been on a 5 day safari in Kenya and there I met the Masai Mara tribe. I adore tropical islands with white sandy beaches and gently waving palm trees. I enjoy snorkeling to see colorful coral and friendly fish. I have a desire to travel to different countries and so far I have managed to visit fifty different countries. Last year I went to South Africa and this year I have booked a flight to Canada. I know that Nova Scotia has coast and countryside. Prince Edward Island has the Anne of Green Gables story. I am really looking forward to my trip and I shall have my birthday in North America.

Some tourists take pictures of eachother in front of the fruit in super markeds. I find that very fascinating :-) I travel to meet friends, meet new people, see new places and revisit places I've been to, eat different food and take lots of pictures.
