From a young age I dreamed about going traveling and I saved up money from my paper round to go to Greece when I was a teenager. The first places I went to outside Europe were Tunisia and St Lucia when I was 19 years old. I was so happy when I traveled around the world for just over one year when I was 20 years old. I did another long trip of a few months to New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. There are so many places in the world that I still have on my list to see. Have you been to many places already? Which places do you still dream of traveling to? Do you think you will have many chances to travel in the future?

hi, maximax! i'd like to travel around the world when i was a kid..but now i have never been to any foreign countries due to money and time...but i still have a dream that there are several places i can't miss in my life and i believe i can realise my dream someday..i can't if i have no dream,right? when i was about 5 or 6 years old, my parents bought me a book as bithday gift which named "Anderson's fairy tales" written by a Danish writer Hans Anderson...that book was so fantastic and attractive..From then on, i began to dream of visiting Danmark where the writer lived someday in the future...so Danmark is the first place i wanna go to... Next place on my list is London,England...just because my favourite football club Chelsea is located in the west london area.. and i'd like to have a trip to South America if possible...the most place i want to visit is Argentina due to the wonderful scenery of pampas and their amazing football culture...lol...

No, not by a longshot. I am really lucky to have been born here and to have so many oportunities. I have travelled quite a bit. It is one of my favorite things to do. Also living abroad for a while is a great experience that I wish everyone could have. I am not able to travel much at the moment, and it is something I really miss. I'd like to see hundreds of places in South America. never been there. I'd also like to travel Australia and New Zealand for some months. And pacific islands. And Taipei. And I could just go on and on and on really. I think it is impossible to get enough time to see all the places I'd like to visit. even if I could travel constantly there would not be enough time.

Hello my friend Teison. I hope that you will be able to see some of the countries that you wish to go to. It would be a long flight to get over to Australia and New Zealand but I feel it would very much be worth it. I haven't yet been to South America but it is at the top of my travel wish list. I adore the Pacific Islands, Samoa is my favorite country in the world. I doubt I will have the opportunity to go back there. I will get to South America after South Africa in 2009 and Canada in 2010 hopefully.

Wow! What a great life you have been spending! I used to have great fascination for Greece, where I had a penpal and she used to send those amazing photographs of nature and old relics, amphitheaters and stuffs like that. It was a picturesque euphoria! My travel log however, has been very restricted. Life has some our priorities from which I just could not get out! But I must now! I love hills and being a Himalayan region borne I got the feel of it while still young, Sea has its own appeal and it calls me when I am upset with life. My next travel spot would be UAE next year, where my sisters live. [u] Happy traveling.[/u] PS: Since you are so much fascinated by countries you can sign up with: http://www.wayn.com/waynprofile.html?menu=1

I think it's wonderful that you got to do that kind of travel at such a young age. I traveled around the United States, Canada, and once to Mexico with my family when I was a child. After I became an adult, was working and could pay for the trips myself, my family and I traveled to other countries. Obviously we're very close in my family. I've been to several countries in Europe and the Middle East. One of the countries I've not been to yet but would love to go is New Zealand.

The way the economy is going, paying bills is a challenge, to say nothing of travel. I would dearly love to see every state in the US, every country in Europe, all the provinces in Canada and whatever countries are stable and don't hate the US in the rest of the world. But I will be lucky if I get back to VT in the next 10 months, even once. Take care

no... it makes me sad to think about it. I'd really like to travel a lot but because of money I don't think its possible. I'd like to learn spanish and travel throughout south america. I'd also like to go work in ireland and then travel around europe. I'm already 25 so the liklihood is looking bleak. I've been to germany for 2 weeks, japan for 2 weeks, cuba for a week, and mexico twice for 1 week at a time. In north america Ive also been to montreal, las vegas, oregan, seattle, and los angeles.

To travel around the world is one of the dreams of me that I want to achieve ,although at present is very difficult for me ,I really think I can fulfill .That's a wonderful thing you know . Before I travel abroad I should travel around my own country which I think there are many more beauty places and scenes. At now ,I have only traveled few places and I will do my best to save more money to do my best like traveling .

I sometimes think in my life I will simply not have enough time to see all the placs I want too as well as go back to a few that I loved very much! Hopefully though I will see as many as I can! x

I think it is impossible for us to do that,for we will want travel another place after we have travelled one.But we have little money and we must work ,so we have not enough time,too. It is my dream to visit some foreign countries,I can enjoy myself while traveling to my favourite places.Wish my dream comes true.Lol Happy mylotting.
