When I go alone somewhere,I surely will feel lonely,coz there is nobody by my side to share the ideas with me.But I think I could adjust myself to a new environment soon.Then everything is fresh and new to me.I can enjoy by myself and meet more interesting people on the way.It is cool.

I make a point of travelling abroad several times a year and enjoy both the journey and the time spent there. So far I have visited quite a few countries and have also used a fair variety of currencies, although now that Europe tends to use the Euro in numerous countries I exchange money less often.
I have never found the experience strange and feel quite comfortable wherever I am. Of course it could be different if I was to visit a coutry during a hostile period, but this is something that I have not done and therefore cannot be certain of how I would feel.

I am always really happy when I visit another country. It is so exciting to explore a new place and a new culture and I love to walk around in a place where I have never been before. Things look different, and the sounds and smells in the street are also different and everything is a new and exciting experience. I really love travelling. Sometimes it is a little difficult to find out how things work when you are in a new country and sometimes you can't read the signs in the streets if they use a different alphabet, but those things dont bother me much. It can be a challenge to get used to a new place, but I think that it is an interesting challenge and I always enjoy the new experience.

I love traveling so much that I save all my online earnings for vacations. I bought a timeshare and that enables me to go to nice lodgings spending a reasonable amount of money. I have traveled to many places and everywhere I have found awesome people everywhere. So it`s very exciting.

When you're alone in foreign country, you will have a strange and exciting feeling. You will get to see different things, meeting various people, trying some new foods.. For me, I always have this special feelings where I feel like blending in the foreign society.

When I was a child I had experience of traveling to France. I noticed the architecture and the foreign language. I learned French at secondary school from age 11 until age 16 years old. I saved up money from my paper round to do so more traveling a little further afield. My mom and I had a lovely vacation in Greece when I was 14 years old. We went to a Greek Island and did some sightseeing in the capital city, Athens. I loved seeing the old buildings and felt a wonderful atmosphere. At age 17 years old I traveled with a friend to Amsterdam in the Netherlands. It was so exciting and interesting. When I was 18 years old I had my first taste of traveling alone. I came home by train and ferry from Finland back to England. I loved exploring Europe on my own.

I have travelled to many countries taking package holidays. It is a great feeling to be able to personally see for oneself what one only read in books or on the Net. Each country has its unique features and each time I return I bring back with me memories that will last a life time. I have so far covered US, including a cruise , Canada, a large part of India, New Zealand, Australia, and Europe
