I was really keen on traveling by age 18 years old. I wanted so very much to get enough money to travel around Europe. I wondered how I would afford it because I was a student. When my studies ended I got a job as a children's nanny in Finland. I liked working for the family. They had three houses, a town house, a farm house in the country and a lakeside cottage. After that I went around Europe by train on my own. Then I got a job in London at a shipping company. At age 19 I got left some money in my Great Aunts will. It was enough for me to buy a small cottage. I went traveling to Tunisia and St Lucia. I did a trip to other places in Europe by train in the winter of 1992. I was sadly made redundant from my job so I let out my cottage and off I went on my trip around the world in 1993. I got married and had my son after that. Six years later I got divorced. In 1996 I went to Malta, the Czech Republic and Poland. I traveled to Kenya in 1997. In 1997 I visited Israel and Jordan. I explored Germany and Austria in 1999.

Did you do any traveling in the 1990s?
If so where did you go?

Hi friend,

In the 1990's I had a chance to travel to the summer capital of the Philippines, Baguio City. It was a city in the mountains located in the Northern part of the country. It was called the summer capital because the weather there is unusually colder than the other parts of the country.

It used to be the home of the indigenous tribes before the Americicans arrived there. After that, the later developed it into a well planned city, with huge parks, camps and other attractions.

I was amazed with the place when I first got there. It was really cold, there were lots of pine trees and flowering plants. Truly, a summer capital.

Hi Maxima,
In 1990, I got the chance to travel to at least 9 countries in Europe; about 10 states in the US and Indonesia in 1991; India, Nepal 1992 and 1993; Jamaica, 1998; Bolivia 1997; Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines 1999. Although I love to travel, I am getting tired of it probably because I am getting old. My husband says though that we will continue to travel until we could not physically do it anymore.

No I can't really say that I would have traveled a lot. At last not on my own. I might do a road trip or whatever you call that after I'm done with the university...

I obviously will have to get a job in the first place so that I can save some money for that but I certainly would love to do that.

I actually would love to see the whole world. You know, traveling around seeing all the great places. I will try to do that someday but I'm not sure how long it will take to realize that dream.. :/

I obviously will need to plan ahead of the time. The simplest thing would probably be a bicycle but I'm not sure how I would be able to keep up with the food and water in that situation...

I simply would like to take my bicycle and start driving.. just to see what awaits me.. :)

Oh, I'm very envious of you.I was just 7 years old in 1990 and my family was pool,so I had to do much farm work and housework,I was primary scholar.When I was in university,I travelled to cities in East China(Suzhou,Yangzhou,Hangzhou and so on)near Nanjing that our school was in.When I finished school,I got a job in my hometown Guangzhou,in South China.And I travelled to Beijing,Shanghai,Hainan(A beautiful and wonderful island),Hunan,Jiangxi,Hongkong,Macao,and other province and city.But I had not travelled to other country.Even though I want to travel to Europe, South Africa,Australia and Maldives.Even my sister and my uncle is live in USA.So I am envious of you and welcome to China.

I did barely ANY traveling in the 1990's. Well, I was born in 1990 and between then and 2000 I pretty much went on little trips with my family - to surrounding states like Wisconsin and South Dakota. Nothing major. Unfortunately I haven't been out of the country or been to anywhere exciting..Ever in my life. sad.

Sadly, I was far too young to travel around in the 90'ssad

It's a shame because it's one of those time periods where I feel would offer some amazing experiences and such.

Hi maximax!
In the 1990's I did the same as I did in the 80's and in the 2000's (or whatever that century is called :-) ), I went to Austria about every year :-) I made two riding trips there, one in 1994 and one in 1996. In 1997 my class went on an excursion to France, afterwards a friend and I went interrailing in Spain and the UK. Then I went a year to Austria for a year as an exchange student, so in 2008 I went interrailing with another friend. We went to Italy, Prague and Budapest. For New Years Eve 1998/99 I went to Edinburgh for 10 days, it was very funny but the weather was horrible.

well, that's the peak of my wunderlust. one of the most exciting plans was, however, put off. i was planning to take the trans-siberian express from vladivostok to paris but had to cancel it for an emergency. it was during the 90s though where i traveled to almost every corner of my country, the philippines.
