I have been going to the different provinces in the Philippines to visit relatives since I was a kid. It was only in high school when I started traveling to explore different places. Just last year, I was able to have a 10-day vacation in Singapore with my aunt and we stayed at her son's condo. This year, my family and I went to Bangkok, Thailand and spent three days exploring the city and emerging ourselves with the culture. Now, my brother's planning to go to South korea next year and I have been dying to go there too. My friend and I want to go to Seoul and Jeju Island and we're planning to go there on 2013 and we want to include India, as well Maldives, which by the way is the most gorgeous group of islands aside from Tahiti. I really want to go backbacking around Europe, too. I want to travel the whole world and immerse myself in the cultures of the countries I will be in. Where do you want to travel? And what would you want to do when you're in your destination?

I wish to see more places in beautiful South America like Machu Picchu, the Galapagos Islands and Rio De Janeiro. I went to Colombia earlier this year. I wish to go island hopping and snorkeling in the Philippines. I am keen on the idea of seeing India's Taj Mahal and China's Great Wall. I hope to visit Madagascar to see the wildlife and to Mauritius for its palm fringed beaches. I have already seen more than fifty different countries in the world. My favorite places that I have been to are Samoa, Australia, New Zealand, Belize and the Seychelles. Last year I really enjoyed visiting Canada and the year before last Cape Town and the Garden Route in South Africa. My best cities are Sydney, Cape Town and Vancouver.

WOW. My travel experiences are nothing, I mean, NOTHING, compared to yours. I am still new at this at traveling requires planning and sometimes it can be expensive. I'd love to go to Machu Picchu, too, since I love history. This january, I will be going to Australia and I might be staying long there. and I wish I could visit New Zealand while Im there. You are so lucky to have seen so much of the world. Do you happen to know about cruises? I learned about Sea princess cruise when my cousin went with her fiance last september. They started in San Francisco, California and had stops in Hawaii, Tahiti, Fiji and New Zealand among others.

By the way, there are a lot of diving spots here and also beautiful beaches. There's Palawan, Boracay, Siargao where you can surf and island hop.

I have seen photos of Palawan and it looks stunningly beautiful there. I will visit Boracay Island even though it is very touristy. I adore island hopping and have done that in the Maldives and the Seychelles. I wouldn't be able to afford a cruise and I prefer being an independent traveler. For my next trip I will be back in South America to Argentina and Chile. I love Australia and I hope that you will really enjoy it there. I recommend lovely New Zealand if you are able to go there as well. I am keen on Northland. Wow!

I had been working in Dubai for almost half of a decade now, from there I usually spent my annual vacation going back to Manila through exploring different airports of several countries to mention such as Hongkong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Bahrain, Sri Lanka and Abu Dhabi. I had wished that my connecting flights would be delayed as I was travelling but unfortunately most of them were on the right time, so my chances of wandering the airport terminals were abruptly rubbed out, then I felt like I was so really unfortunate during that moment. Early of the 2011 was my luckiest year so far since I was having a connecting flight from Abu Dhabi to Sri Lanka. I was so very nervous to land in the famous TEA MAKER OG THE WORLD the country called Sri Lanka. I was surpringsingly travelled by the tourist guide on his right handed / driven car from the airport to the hotel for me to have one night stop over. During the afternoon I joined the group of people watching their national sports which is the softball game and shared joke and smiled with some of the very accommodating personnels of the hotel there. I know how to play their game but I was so hesitant that I might be running out of the base since Filipino like me has no any idea on how my actual running speed would compensate to take home or reach the final base. I was so glad because despite of my nervous to play their favorite sports, there were two Sri Lankan nationals who used to be a newly wed couples whom I joined in taking some pictures maybe four to six times. I was working from an international company so I was having a little bit of capability on how to come together with them and I felt like so easy getting them as my acquintances especially if I was also an Asian national. My next dream to travel is Australia, this is my implausible reverie that should be taken with a proper timing and likewise planning too, so help me God!

wow! how does it feel to be away from your home country? i'm nervous but at the same time excitd to leave Pinas. You should try to visit countries that are near Dubai. I wish I could go there, too and to really see Burg Al (I dont really know the full name) hotel for real. I have a friend who went there for a vacation and it was really beatiful from what ive seen in the photos. We, Pinoys, can really relate to almost all kinds of people. we are definitely a friendly bunch! You should visit Australia soon. There are a lot of airline promos. You should try looking up Qantas and PAL. However, I checked Cathay Pacific and they're a bit pricey. :D I hope you'd get to visit OZ.
