What motivates you to travel? Is it the places you visit?.......the different people? ....culture?.....food?....or something else?

I love travelling and I am very interested in other countries and cultures. I like to see countries that are different from my own, and I really enjoy exploring s new place. I like to visit big cities, small villages in the countryside and islands. I like to visit museums, monuments and art galleries, but I also like mountains, lakes, beaches etc. Last year I travelled around in Europe for one month and I got the chance to visit many different countries. I really enjoyed my trip and the different cultures that I experienced. Right now I can't afford to travel, but I want to save up money for my next trip, because travelling is a very important hobby for me.

That is nice, real nice idea... travelling to somewhere in the worlds makes us refresh from depression.

All of the above. The best thing about traveling to different countries--and even different regions within your own country--is that you do get to experience many different cultures, food, variety of people, landmarks, environment, weather, etc.,

Traveling is my top hobby. I always wanted to travel the world and when I was a child I dreamed about all the travel that I would do as a grown up. What motivates me to travel is the places that I see and experience being in. It is the culture, the history, the landscapes, the native wildlife and the people. In my lifetime so far I have traveled to more than fifty different countries in the world. These days I travel with my disabled toddler son and baby daughter. I have to visit places that are not too challenging with a wheelchair because my son isn't able to walk. The year before last I was pregnant with my daughter and I took my son to Cape Town and the Garden Route. Last year we traveled to Vancouver, Vancouver Island and some more of British Columbia. This year we traveled to Cartagena De Indias and Santa Marta in Colombia. My son is at the age now he is heavy and difficult to carry. Therefore airports are a nightmare and accommodation must be on the ground floor or the building have an elevator. My best trip was the year before my disabled son was born. I did things that wouldn't possible for me to do with him now. I climbed Mayan ruins, went on an exciting cave adventure and stayed in a tall tree house.

My reason for travel is travel itself. I just love to go around places. Maybe I was a nomad during my previous life. But of course, I also like to meet different people, taste different food and to know more about their history and culture.

I think what motivates me to travel is simply the demand of my office jobs. I work in an office where the demand is quite high. When holiday period comes in I jumped to travel because such a trip will make me more renewed for a better start in the following seasons.

My motive to travel is to see other places, other people, and other culture. I like to see other people who are other of my culture. I like to travel because in my country there is nothing interesting. I prefer to go out of this country to live. If I have this chance I will do it. But I dont have it.
