I remember after my graduation, my parents, uncle and aunt and I had a travel together. That's a long time. We traveled for about 3 months and we had been to many places in our country. That's a wonderful experience. Today I just haven't the vacation for so long time, sighing...

The longest time I have travelled is 5 weeks, when I put my tent and my mountain bike in the back of my car and I travelled up to Scotland, camping and touring, it was a wonderful experience, I travelleed all the way up the west coast right to the top then across and back down the east coast, making lots of stops en route to beautiful places full of scenery, mountains, lochs, countryside, it was a wonderful adventure and experience, I love being able to travel alone, so much more freedom!

The only wild animals that came in to attack poor wolfie were craneflies or daddy long legs, I hate the things, no matter how hard I tied the tent up they still found a way in, otherwise no other beastie got in with me, thankfully!

It is a nice travel style. Living in the tent is quite interesting.

Hello wolfie. It sounds very romantic of you to have such a wonderful traveling experience by yourself, especially the tent that you have mentioned. I have only seen people living in tents on TV and in movies, but not in my real life. But I have a question for you. If you travel alone and have to live in your tent at night, do you worry about wild animals coming at you at night? Or do you feel safe? It is really a great adventure, wolfie. Enjoy your travel as always, wolfie.

The longest was when I took a bus bound to the Southern Bicol. It took me 12 long sitting hours.

My longest trip was from February 1993 to April 1994 so that was just a bit more than a year, I traveled around the world and it was a wonderful journey that I will never forget. My route was London-Los Angeles-Hawaii-Fiji-Sydney-Adelaide-Cairns-Darwin- Singapore-London. Now I have dogs and young son I am unlikely to go on another trip quite as long as that. I usually travel for two weeks on one trip. I therefore have to explore quickly seeing as many places as possible. I hope you go traveling again soon my friend Youless. Happy traveling even if it is just a short trip of a couple of weeks.

Actually I know how much you love the travel. It's so amazing that you have been to so many different places. Why not write a book about your journey? I would like to be one of your readers

Good evening, youless. It is really a very long time to travel for three months. I have to say that I have had such an experience for that long, but I remember that our family went to my aunt's home for a few Spring Festivals when I was a child. It was about half a month. Right now I still miss the days when we were spending the wonderful days at my aunt's, whose home is in the country. Now my aunt is very old in her eighties and she is not bent in the back. Last summer my elder brother, my mother, my wife and I went together to see my aunt who was living with my cousin in the country for only one night. We could have spent a few more days, but we had to leave for my another cousin whose daughter passed the college entrance examination and we were invited to drive all the way to the city where they are located, Ji'an City for a grand dinner. So it was in fact two days' visit to my aunt and my cousins. Though it was only two days, I was very happy already because it was so long a time that we had not seen each other. It was almost more than a decade, as we live in different cities and most importantly, we live and work in different cities. This trip will leave me a lifelong memory so long as I live. Thank you for your discussion, dear youless.

West or east, home is the best. I know how important the hometown means to Chinese. I think I am very lucky because Guangzhou is already my hometown. I was born and grow up here.

It's wonderful that you got to spend that much time traveling, particularly getting to see places in your own country. So often people want to visit other places and miss out on great experiences at home. The longest trip I ever took was about 15 days.

I used to travel for work and leisure but the longest that I ever have is 9 days only. However, me and my boyfriend are going to travel this summer around my country (we have 7,107 islands) for 3 weeks and it will be the longest travel in our lives.

The longest time I ever been oversea is on my honeymoon in Europe. Lots of fun things to see and do. Took so many pictures too. You can take a look at them here: http://www.shareapic.net/378853-Switzerland.html http://www.shareapic.net/378852-France.html http://www.shareapic.net/378851-Germany.html http://www.shareapic.net/378850-Italy.html http://www.shareapic.net/378817-London.html Three weeks out of the office. Just lots of quality time with my wife. Meeting a whole bunch of new friends on the trip. And of course, lots of good food as well. Heh heh...

I think 3 months for me was the longest time. I went to the states. And I don't think I will do anything that long in future! I think 3 weeks would be quite a good amount of time for me *laughs*.

lake segara anakan - lake segara anakan is located near by mt. rinjani
wow, three months that's a long trip! my longest time to have a travel is about 2 weeks. it happened last year. i with 4 friends of mine went to bali (an island which is well known for having many beautiful tourist places in my country). we visit some places there. after that we proceed to the next island named lombok. we go there as we planed to climb mt. rinjani; its top is located about 3,700 meters above sea level. that's really nice though tiring trip. it took four days to climb to the top and return. it was a very steep zigzag mountain climb. it took us longer time than expected because we were not habitual mountain climbers. to be safe each of us had hired a mountain climber porter who would carry our luggage. these mountain climber porters were very stout and strong, and they know well the mountain. near by the top, there is a vast lake, called lake segara anakan (means a small ocean). it's very beautiful. near by the lake there is a hot spring where we can take a bath and swim. it's very enjoyable to take a bath in the warm water as the place is extremely cold. there are many friendly apes. if we give them food, they will take it from our hand. very nice. but beware, if we don't give them, they will trespass our tends and steal our food. anyway, we enjoyed the trip so much and i would like to do that again.

Wow! Good for you! 3 months is a long vacation; it must've been nice! The longest I've travelled was about 2 weeks when I went on vacation with my grandparents when I was younger. We just went down South, and we drove.

the longest I have been away from home was during a five month trip to Arizona that I took last year. My husband is currently working in Az, but he will be retiring in a few months, and coming to Canada to stay up here. For someone like me who has never lived anywhere else in my life, 5 months was a really long time.

3months of traveling is a very long journey for you and your whole clan! As I browse in to your profile I found out that you are in China so I thought that you been sight seeing all the wonderful views from your country before. I have experienced to travel a lot before but it only takes 36 hours. That is the longest by land travel I have experienced in my whole life so far. This is from Davao to Naga City in the Philippines. It was very memorable to me and my friends although very tired after it.
