^ thats harsh.. I travel for many reasons.. but none are work related as yet.. most are just to get away from the city life
My family and I (parents, bro, grandma, uncle) used to travel back in those days... usually just to Singapore (to visit my aunt) and locally like Kuala Lumpur. Boy, do i miss those good ol' days. So much fun. Always looked forward to those yearly trips. Now, travelling together is out of the question since my mom's death, and there's only my dad and bro and grandma can hardly walk now. So to those of you who still have a family to travel with, be grateful Then I did some travelling with my ex-boyfriend, that was fun too. I travelled on my own to Australia for two weeks to visit a friend and that was awesome Now my dream is to have financial independence so I can travel anywhere I want and whenever I want to, without any worries.
to eat food i wouldnt have a chance to eat where i live meet people i would not normally meet see family see nice geography/architecture visit old and famous sites relax
I travel because I love to see other cultures and customs, taste food that I normally won't get the chance to in my own country and it helps me to keep my mind open to everything new. And for travel photography as it's always refreshing to shoot something else than the usual in my own city. Another reason I travel is sometimes I love a rock band so much that I don't mind to fly to another continent to see them because they're really worth it. It's also a bit of "collecting the places" of the world by trying to visit as many countries I can before I die.
i travel mostly for work, but i also travel for vacationing also. i perfer getting around on a plane. don't like to drive far anymore
I don't know, every time I travel, especially to foreign places where they don't really speak English or Chinese, I feel this tranquility, almost like I am the only person in the world kind of good lonely And yeah, nice museums and parks and temples and architectures in general bonus, so is local food.
Every bad thing has it's good side. Not being able to speak the native tongue. You will be more inventive and your observations will be much better. I survived many countries where I don't speak the language. But to a girl, not being able to talk could be perhaps a punishment
sorry . . . . i missed a few, and realized you can't change polls besides, shopping, shouldn't that just be a benifit to traveling, and not the sole reason? yeah yeah i know . . . i know I LOVE architecutre yeah i love new cuisine, hopefully someone i can take home with me in a form of a recipe
@Mav: Hmmmm, I guess, but then it's not like I am brave enough to visit Russia by myself or something, though I really want to take the Trans-siberia train from St. Peterborugh to Beijing one of these days... I guess I need to find a Russian friend first But I agree that one tends to be more inventive and observing when placed in a real foreign place (not understanding the language), and I am much more receptive to the culture if I am not distracted by people talking
