I have not been very far in my short life so far. I don't want to be stuck in the short sighthed united states my whole life. So I think that after I graduate from college, I can travel the world. I just want to see whats out there and I want to live a full life. any one else want that

When I was a child I dreamed about traveling when I was older. I saved up money from my paper round to go to Greece when I was 14. I got a Saturday job in a shop when I was 16 and I saved up to go to the Netherlands when I was 17. At age 18 I worked as a children's nanny in Finland and after that I traveled around Europe by train. Since then I have visited many different countries. It is never too late for a person to start traveling. If they haven't got much money they could travel to their neighboring countries, get a job abroad or get a cheap flight. Staying in backpacker hostels or camping in a tent are cheap forms of accommodation. I wonder if you are keen to visit Canada and Mexico. Central American countries like Belize and Guatemala are lovely. The Caribbean Islands are really beautiful tropical places. Traveling is my top hobby. I hope that you go traveling and have a wonderful time. Good luck.

Actually, I'm hoping to travel around my country yeah...maybe starting next year? I mean with college not looking like it's gonna happen, and my trying to start some semblance of my own life (earning money, doing my own things instead of being solely family oriented)..I think travel, at least a little bit of it, seems possible in my near future. I'm not even confident I'll be able to visit other countries, but at this point my fondest wish is to travel around my own. I've never been outside my own state, and I've never even been to most of my own state. I long to wander a bit, and live more with nature. So hopefully all of this will coincide and work out. It's more of a matter of faith, for me right now.

Good.I have the same dream.I hope it will become true in the short future. Different culture,different custom and the different ways of life,the different ways of the people see the world are always attractive.It seems the world is full of wonderful things,waiting your discovery.

if you do that then you run the risk of not being able to pay back your student loans on time... I would love to travel the world too...so many different people and things to see..
