when you are traveling, would you choose to go to the destination: go straightly to the destination or see here and there on the way of your journey? why?

I love to go to a long haul destination like London to Sydney. On that trip I stopped off in Los Angeles, Hawaii and Fiji. Even better on the trip London to Auckland I did stopovers in French Polynesia and the Cook Islands on the way there. On the way back I went to Samoa. Traveling in that way is seeing as much of the world as possible. A ticket with stopovers costs the same or slightly more than the direct flight which would be tiring. I am happy to fly for up to fourteen hours and on a longer distance I do treat myself to some stopovers. The stopover can be three days and has been as much as one month. Traveling is my top hobby.

Everyone who commented before me is so goal-oriented! I can't say I'm not a little jealous. To me, though, the best part of traveling is seeing things that you never expected to see. Say you show up in Paris and head straight towards the Louvre, then the Eiffel Tower, then the Arc de Triomphe - and then you leave. So you've seen some famous sights. But what about all the little wonders of Paris, what about all the beauty around you that you'd have the chance to see if only you looked around a bit more? The reason we travel is to open ourselves up to new experiences; if you only let yourself be focused on something you already know about, you're missing out on quite a lot.

I am a person who like to have goals and yes, that means I go right to the destination where ever I go. My time is short to spend so, therefore even if I go to town and shop I only go for shopping and then head home again. But those days, when I have more than one appointment then I may do something els between those appointments...

I am a straight to destiny person.Setting a time to reach the place I always try to hit it right.Even in my life,I don't deviate from a job taken.If I start one,I stop it after completing the same.Wasting time in the near by loops is not my style of living.Cheers!
