From age 20 to age 30 I visited the USA, Fiji, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. Then I visited Italy, Spain, Malta, the Czech Republic and Poland. Then I visited Kenya, Israel and Jordan. I visited New Zealand, Samoa, the Cook Islands and French Polynesia.
From age 30 to 40 I visited Turkey, the Seychelles, the Maldives, Mexico, Belize and Guatemala. Then I visited Romania, Bulgaria, Portugal, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, South Africa, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Uruguay.
From age 40 to 50 I intend to do lots more traveling thinking in a low budget kind of way. How about you?

I can't imagine myself traveling that much country in one decade. Wow! It's really amazing. Even you visited a lot of places still you are planing to do another trip for another one decade.
For me you already fulfilled your dreams to travel around the world. Atleast when you are not able to fly again, you meet your goal. So it's nice to remember the memories you got each country you visited.

When I was a child, every year, except one, we went to New Jersey to see family. The one year we didn't Dad arranged a road trip for us that including a couple of speech stops for him.
We drove from Austin to the Grand Canyon, spent one night on the South Rim and the next on the North. Then we drove to Salt Lake City with a stop at Bryce Canyon. On the way back we spent a day in Colorado Springs and went up Pikes Peak. Then we drove from Colorado to Norman OK where he had another speech. Finally, we returned to Texas (I should also say that when we drove from Colorado to Oklahoma we drove through the Panhandle of Texas and had a car accident.) In Texas we stopped at Six Flags over Texas that had opened about 4 or 5 years earlier.

I am very happy to hear about the traveling that you did in your home country during your childhood. I am keen on the idea of seeing the Grand Canyon and am sure it would be the most amazing natural landscape. I am sorry you had a car accident though. I wish you lots of happy traveling. The USA is such a large country that I feel there is plenty more to see.

From 20 to 30 I visited a lot places in Europe: Sweden, Norway, Finland, Poland, the Czech republic, Hungary, Estonia, Italy, France, Spain, Germany and the UK. I am 35 now and from 30 to now I have visited Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Greece and Romania. Before I turn 40 I plan on visiting Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Between 40 and 50 I want to visit Japan, South Korea, India, Senegal, the Gambia, Morocco, Tunisia, Botwana, Namibia and South Africa. I also want to visit some of the countries in Europe where I haven't been yet like Ukraine, Moldova and Albania.
In 2016 my husband and I will pay off the last debt, and that will give us the chance to spend more money on travelling. At that time I will be 40 and I hope that we will get the chance to visit the places that we dream about. I plan on taking some extra work as well.

I am delighted to have read your wonderful response. You visited many places when you were aged between 20 and 30 years old. I can see you saw European countries first just the same as me. My first visits outside Europe happened when I was 19 years old. Then I visited Tunisia and months later St Lucia. You have visited plenty of places in the last 5 years. I wish you lots of luck with the rest of your trips in your 30s. I am sure you will succeed in visiting all the places on your travel wish list.

Have you been to Indonesia? to which city? how do you know about Indonesia? because I am Indonesian. I never went abroad as you do, I just listened and learned certia other countries on the Internet only.

I traveled over land and sea from Singapore to Sumatra. That was the island in Indonesia that I saw. I had one night en-route to there on an island full of motorbikes. Next I stayed in Bukittingi which I found beautiful and fascinating. Then I traveled on a bus which stopped along the route at interesting places. My favorite stop was the Equator and I stood on it for sometime jumping about. I stayed on the shores of Lake Toba in a village. It was very picturesque. Last of all I went to a village near to Medan. I went to see the wild orangutans near to there. I found Medan noisy and dirty. I liked the rest of Indonesia that I saw. Good luck visiting another country one day.

I am not rich and I travel low budget. To travel around Europe I worked as a children's nanny at age 18 years old. To travel around the world I let out my cottage and got a working holiday visa for Australia. Yes, one day you will travel on a plane and visit an overseas destination. Good luck.

I hope that you have a wonderful time in the Bahamas. It must be lovely to live in sunny Florida. I see you have been to many of the islands in the Caribbean Sea. I visited St Lucia at age 19 years old. I hope to visit more in the future. Yes, many of my discussions are about traveling.
