There are people that just have it in their blood to travel but there are those who would just rather be at home. I have known people that have never left the place they were raised then others who never stopped moving when they were old enough to go. What about you..are you a traveler or would you rather stay home? Maybe your in between the two.

No, I don't like travelling. I like my home best. I have been to New Delhi and Mumbai two of the places people like to visit monuments and beutiful places but I never went to a beach in mumbair or Lalquila In New Delhi. Seems taht I am a little lazy when it comes to travelling.

I'm between. I do like to go places and see things, but I like to have a home to come home too. Its hard to keep pets if you are constantly moving, hard to make friends - well for me any way.

Words of wisdom my friend. Constantly moving is for only some. Having a home to come to can be worth a million bucks! Thanks for the response.

he is only three and bringing the family means i will spend for them, then i will no longer earn anything if i will bring them along. of course i would like to be with them but i need to earn at the same time. so seeing them on the webcam is much better than bringing them, but if i hit it big OF COURSE I WILL BE BRINGING THEM ALONG WITH ME.

It's a lot harder to travel if you have to leave your loved ones behind. Being in a band I would say you would be quite the traveler. Maybe your family can go with you some while your boy is not in school. Maybe he can pick up a few pointers for his band days.

I am a traveler. Have lived here all my life but have traveled all over the western ,northern and some southern states. Haven't been to any eastern states yet. I plan on seeing Europe at some point. Hope it pans out. I went to British Columbia Canada back in the mid nineties and enjoyed it immensely. I saw some the islands surrounding there as well. I think my favorite part of the US so far is the Redwoods of California. Beautiful!

I have traveled too. I haven't seen the Redwoods but have been to LA and a small city called San Bernadino. I went a few places while I was there and got to ride across the desert to Las Vegas. It was a beautiful drive. Talk about being out of my element. I would love to visit Canada. The only other country I have visited was Japan. Thanks for responding.

Yes..we left California very early. It was incredible. I was in Vegas for four days each trip. I actually got to see a cloud in the distance raining! My grandmaother said it was a rare sight to see. I took pictures but they are a little hard to make out.

Yes I am a traveler. But I am not international I can afford only to travel somewhere around my country. There are many places in our country which are worth watching. I think I am traveling at least one location in one month that too for over night. We are all college friends and managing to go by deciding a specific location and time. These are all turning into my memorable moments

Cruise Ship - My first Cruise!
I love to travel! I just recently took my first cruise to Mexico! I have lived in the same place for about 7 years, but I am ready to move and try a new place as soon as I finish my degree.

Thanks! My boyfriend and I took this cruise for $299/person for a 5 day cruise! We went to Cozumel and Progresso, Mexico. It was a wonderful trip, for an amazingly cheap price. We also benefited because we were able to drive to the port, so we didnt have to pay for a plane ticket. You should definitely look into them now. While gas is cheap, the cruises will stay low!

HI ! Jen! Given an opportunity, I love travelling to different places. Our is a vast country and there are many places, which have not been visited by me. I make it a point to visit different beaches, hill stations, historical places etc. at least once in a year for the sake of change and enhancing my knowledge. I learn a lot about people, culture and style of food and living over there, when I visit such places. However, travelling does not come without hassles and one needs to comprise on many aspect while staying and travelling at different places. Sometimes, I write about my travelling experiences on Associated Contents, you can see one of my articles over there, with the below mentioned link. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1500944/a_beautiful_tourist_place_goa.html?cat=16

I would rather stay at home, but that is after I have traveled the seven seas. I have been very fortunate, to have had the opportunity to travel around the world since I was very young, but after many years traveling and now that, it is rather uncomfortable to travel I rather stay home. Anyhow I have move around a lot because I have business in a couple of different places and traveling is still a most. However, I am sure that one day I will find a place that I will love so much that I will stay.

Hi Jen. Im definitely a traveler. I've been to North America, Europe, and Asia. I plan on visiting Egypt or South Africa one day. Sadly I don't have any travel plans anytime soon, I wish I could just go somewhere far, sit back and relax, basically just get away from all the brouhaha going on around me. Pardon my semi rant Jen , Cheers!

I would love to travel but I have some restrictions so I can go as far as Southeast Asian countries only. I don't have visas for other countries. I love to travel I started traveling just this year. the first city I visited was Bangkok and it was really a good thing to travel. It is educational. Next year I am planning to visit Indonesia or India.

I am only a traveler when the trip is conceived by others. I am insecure in new places and this will overpower any joy that I could have, unless someone else is guiding me. I am most comfortable at home in a area where I am familiar.

I love to travel and my work takes me to various places. I had been to many a places now. My father used to travel a lot too, and I would accompany him. I guess it rubbed on to me. But that doesnt mean I dont like to be at home. Sometimes i prefer to snuggle up at my home and wont go antwhere no matter what the situation would compel me to. Hehehehe

I think ahving a job that requires travel is best for those that have it in their blood. That way they are content and don't feel so unsettled. It helps you to enjoy what you have at home too. Thanks for the response.
