I haven;t been outside the country. Am I the only one?  email this discussion to a friend?

I honestly feel like I'm the only one who's left dreaming of what it's like being in another country. Most of the people i know have gone to trips or vacations to other countries. My mother, my sister, my friends... they've been to a foreign land and I'm the only one that's left dreaming here. Why am I so underprivileged? Why are opportunities so limited for me? Are there anybody out here who's like me? You know, I hate reading about other people's travel experiences because instead of reading for information, i tend to feel so low. i don't want to work abroad. i just want to experiences what it's like to see the other part of this world.

How about you, guys?

actually your not the only one who felt that way me too. i want to explore the other country, but suddenly i don't have enough money to travel...so i understand what you feel.


ashbelx (49)   ranked 984 out of 5,013 in travel  3 years ago

Yeah, me too. Money is always an issue. But even if i can afford to travel myself, I have kids to consider. And taking them with me is just purely impossible. Guess I will just have to view the world through the net. lol! Thanks for replying!

i haven't been out of the country, as well because i have mild claustrophobia. i get anxious when i'm in an airplane. however, i can tolerate 30-minute or 1-hour airplane rides. so i just travel with in my country. hehe but i do have plans of travelling the world someday. but not right now. i don't have the time nor the money to do that yet. hehe :)


myLot reputation of 98/100. agv0419 (2934)  3 years ago

I'm also want to travel abroad or to be able to experience how was it like to travel in an airplane. Last week my parents and my sister are been in Iloilo they travel by airplane. I feel envy to some people that they can afford to travel abroad. I don't have money to travel.

My mother had been to germany once and my sister is now living there. she married a german. I feel a little envious but I have my children to think of right now. Maybe one day. Who knows? Happy mylotting!

That's not a big problem for me. I've never been abroad before but many friends of mine have the experiences. However, those could not worried me. When I feel free and have plenty of money, I will visit abroad but I won't live abroad.


ashbelx (49)   ranked 984 out of 5,013 in travel  3 years ago

I don't plan to live there too, but it would have been nice to experience things there and learn a little about their culture. Well, we're still young so maybe there's still a chance.
Thanks!

I love travelling and most of the time I am hooked to travel and living channel. But I havent travelled abroad, though I love to. I envy those who travel. I wish one day I will have enough money to travel the world. i love to work abroad especially europe so that I can see many countries without getting visas and without the hassle of currency conversion. There are many beautiful places in Europe and there food is simply yum.


ashbelx (49)   ranked 984 out of 5,013 in travel  3 years ago

hahaha! Yum? maybe. But my sister said the food there's not yum. She had a hard time adjusting to the taste and variety. Still, preferences vary. maybe what she thought unpalatable is delicious to some, and what's not yum to others, may be yum for her. Let's just hope we have the chance to try. Thanks!


myLot reputation of 87/100. malpoa (648)   ranked 1,685 out of 5,013 in travel  3 years ago

I strongly believe that we will get a chance sooner or later. Only a few days back I read of the trend adoptd by most irlines to reduce the fair to fetch more passengers on both domestic and international sector. If that is so travelling cost will dwindle down a lot...Also if you have friends or relatives abroad, the accomodation will come cheaper...

The past is history and the future is a mystery. I think that you might be able to change the fact that you haven't yet been out of your home country. You might be able to plan to visit one of your neighboring countries. It could be a weekend away staying in a guest house. I know that a journey can start with a single step. I began traveling to France when I was a child. It is my next door country and it has always been easy to get to. I saved up money from my paper round when I was a teenager to reach Greece. Good luck with any traveling that you will do.


ashbelx (49)   ranked 984 out of 5,013 in travel  3 years ago

Oh! Maximax. what an exciting life you're leading. Hope one day i could do that too. BUt opportunities in my country is truly limited. It's just not very possible to save for travel plans. Yet you're right. Life is a long journey what where the road leads, nobody knows. thanks for your comment.

Hi Ash, don't feel that way. My two sisters and their children have never been out of the country as well. In the school where I work, not many people have been outside the UK.

Honestly speaking, it's not really all happy when you're outside your country. Some people do it because they want to earn money and so they have to sacrifice being away from their loved ones.

Sooner or later you will have your turn. Just don't stop dreaming. happy

Well, you are not all alone in this world, my friend....Me also didn't have any opportunity to travel abroad yet I like to read travelling experiences from other people, I get inspired to work even more.....There are a lot of opportunities in life and I think what we will do is to wait....^_^


ashbelx (49)   ranked 984 out of 5,013 in travel  3 years ago

Yes, you're right. Let's just wait for our chance. there's time for everything. All we need is the right attitude and a positive outlook in life. Remember to post me if ever you have the chance to travel. Thanks and happy mylotting!


myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (6342)  3 years ago

Yeah, we must wait for that time. I really love to travel because I do believe that it is really fun and exciting to do that....Though, opportunities may come sometimes, there are still things that hinders it....so sad...

I have the exact same experience. Everyone I know has been out of the country except me. I don't think you're underprivileged, because I'm not. And I think that we will get our chance, and we will travel in the future. But I for one will cherish all of the things in my town while I still can, because I don't know when I'll leave it or when I'll die. I think it's important to be grateful and content for now, so when good fortune does swing your way, it will make you even happier. ^^

Hi, I am always dreaming to see the world and it's always on my wish list. I'm saving for a trip outside my country just to experience the site and sounds and become a tourist.
My brother has been to other countries because of his work. The company sends him for trainings or whatever. My Mom had gone to another country for a seminar so does my aunt. And I have relatives who work in another country. And I have a cousin who now lives in another country because she married a foreigner.
Don't feel so low, maybe someday you can go and see other countries maybe in a different way like being a volunteer or getting petitioned or attending a gathering. Who knows, what's in store for you and me too?
