When I was a child I dreamed of going down under to Australia. I felt a trip to Africa might be very exciting and my wish was for a place like Kenya. As a teenager I dreamed of traveling around Europe. I got my paper round at age 13 and then a Saturday shop job at age 16 years old to save up for my traveling. I realized at 19 years old that I liked tropical islands. At 20 years old in Sydney I declared it is my favorite city in the world. A more experienced traveler told me I would love Cape Town, San Francisco and Vancouver. I was able to visit Cape Town in 2009, San Francisco in 2001 and Vancouver in 2010. I traveled around Australia at age 20 to 21 years old from 1993 to 1994 and went to Kenya in 1997. I was 18 years old on my trip around Europe.

Israel, the land of Kings, crusaders, Israelite, and the cradle of Christianity is the place I want to be. Surrounded by foes, tested in wars, flooded in blood, and ruled by patriotic people are the few things in the history of this brave country where I wish to visit in a lifetime. Jerusalem, is the City where the place of interest should be visited for every Christians second from the Vatican City in Rome. Italy, the place I want to be also, where Roman Empire dwell and the renaissance of art boomed.

I always wanted to visit Singapore because my sister who use to work there as an Architect has so many stories about the country. Luckily, I was able to visit Singapore in 2009 and I was fascinated by how discipline the people there. I also sidetrip to Malaysia by bus. I got out of my own country to visit two countries in 7 days. It was exciting and a learning experience for me. I hope that I'll get the same chance that you have - to visit more country.

Some years ago, I wanted to see Taiwan because of aggressive marketing by travel agencies and Taiwanese Tourism Board. In the end, I did go there. I would definitely visit Taiwan again.

Hi Maxine,
Whn I was a little girl, I wanted to go to the US most of all. My wish was granted when I was 11 years old as my father got a fellowship to work there for a year and a half. Then. much latr, I wanted to see Europe. When I was 30 years old, my husband and I left our 2 chuldren with my parents and went for a 6 months trip which included part of Suth America, a big part of the US by car and over 3 months in Europe. Both of my siblings were living there then (at Lausanne) and they lent us car and camping gear to go places. It was awesome!
