Ever since I was a young child I dreamed of visiting different countries. At age 14 I traveled to Greece with my mom. When I was 17 I traveled to the Netherlands with a friend. Then I worked as a children's nanny in Finland at age 18 before I traveled around Europe by train. At age 20 years old I traveled around the world. So I have managed to travel to 50 different countries in the world in my lifetime. I hope to go to lots more different countries. I suggest that you buy a money belt to store your passport in. You could take a travel guide book with you and then you will have knowledge to make you feel secure. It is rare that I get stuck somewhere. One time I had an ear infection so I wasn't able to fly. Due to the airline being booked up for three weeks I managed to extend my trip. That made my trip to Western Australia even better.

I really liked it in Greece. I went to an island called Spetse and Athens. A money belt is the safe way to carry money and a passport. Later this month I am going to fly off to Canada for three weeks.

an easy way to travel somewhere is read a good book of that place. start by traveling to your local library or college library, and travel to the country of your choice through millions and millions of books. it is like a whole world in there. and it doesnt require an expensive plane trip or packing your luggage. all it requires is relaxing in your favorite place and enter your vacation.
