I realize that youth friends at Europe or USA often save money to travel the world very year. It is almost a habit. In my country, we don't have this thinking. We only save money to study, to buy some things, to give family etc... How are you? Do you usually have plan to travel every year?

If I have enough money to buy ticket and travel to the United State, I will do it regularly. Since I have no money I never dream about it...hehe

No. There is no problem with me. Even do there is no fee to dream. I don't want to dream to travel around the world because I know I can't go there...this will frustrating me if I will dream to go there...

I realize that a thing is more easier to reach true if we think about it very much. Why don't you try this again? Our brain is like a magnet, it'll attract the thing which we want to have.

I traveled a lot while I was in college, I was born in Beijing, capital of China. I have been to Sichuan province, Yunnan province, Shanxi province, Guizhou province, Hunan province and Guangxi province. A lot right? Because I spent all of my winter breaks and summer holidays on traveling. I like traveling because I want to experience different cultures and meet different people I also enjoy myself in the beautiful nature. Another reason I travel while I was in college because in my country, most of the hot spots have discount tickets for students. I saved a lot of money compare to others~~

I am from India. Here in our country it is not a general trend observed here to travel across the World every year! Here we have a big population and majority of them are either from middle class family or below that! Since for them meeting the two ends become too difficult, so how can one expect them to travel across the World. The other section which is bit affluent have money and they travel. Since now a days travelling has become much cheaper than earlier and the facilities got improved so some of these people have started visiting other countries. India it self being a good tourist place,the local people who can afford travel the country lot.This is on a increasing trend for last few years! But then the trend or travelling culture as seen in western countries is not observed here in India. Here I hardly think there is any one saving for the purpose of visiting a foreign country for a pleasure. Instead he/she would invest this money in some saving scheme or in property or can acquire some assets! I think this is because of the disparity between the economy of the countries of western part of the World and Eastern part of the World! Thanks !

yes, you're right. But I think that there is different when thinking about money among cultural, beside the disparity between the economy of the ones.

Well, I cannot afford to travel all around the world every year, but it's my dream . And I want it to come true. When I was single, I travelled a lot to many different places. It was fun and very mind relaxing ( eventhough it was tiring ). But since having a kid, I never do it anymore. However, I am planning to set aside budget for travelling. I want to take my daughter to many cities and share with her the joy I've had in the past.

I wish your plan will be implemented soon. Myself liked to travel domestic, going abroad is only for business. Because I don't have much money and time.

It's good. I think that I'll save money to travel with my husband in the future. I think that we can find some tours which are quite quality and cheap.

I am from the french part of canada, and every year i make at least 2 roadtrips to the usa, I usually go to florida for a week every winter to enjoy the beach and hot weather, then at some point during the year I usually get a bunch of friends together and we hit the road for something like NYC, boston and that area. And if i have enough time/money, I fly to europe at some point too. Travelling is so good. As i am 20 years old right now i believe its the best time to travel and see the world a bit before growing up too much.

Hi plonka. The neighbor countries are the best choices when we begin to travel over the world, right? We can save money and time for it.

I am very keen on traveling to different countries and save up so I can go traveling once or if I am very lucky twice a year. I have just come back home from my trip to Cartagena De Indias and Santa Marta in Colombia. Last summer I traveled to Vancouver, Vancouver Island and some other places in British Columbia. The previous year I traveled to Cape Town and the Garden Route.

I do travel quite often to countries in different parts of the world, yes, but they are mostly on business trips. For holidays, on my own expense, I travel once in a couple of years, some time within my own country, some times to some of my favorite holiday destinations abroad.

I can understand that your job make you many chances to travel abroad. It's great. But business travel is different with a tourist travel, right? And do like travel abroad or domestic?

Not around the world but to any destination or country which is new to me, that is what I do once or twice a year. Aside from the fact that we save money for some things, expenses and family, I try to set aside some for my travels.
