I know people are leaving their homes everyday to enjoy themselves in a far away place. But the thing I want to know is: What makes you travel?, Why do you want to travel?, What do you get from traveling?.

I don't like travelling, I only go if my duty wishes me to go. I mean my job. If my boss asks me to go then there is no choice but to go there. I hate Traveling.

Guess, I don't like being at new place, I have a kind of home sickness!

Is there a special reason why you hate traveling? Perhaps because you don't want to meet new people or learn new things?

I'm an extremely curious person, which is probably why I want to travel. Another reason is that I love to learn about different things. I love to learn about cultures, people, and such. These are my reasons for traveling. I'm a curious person, who loves to learn, and is intrigued by new things. It's something that I can't really help. It's the way I am.

I'm just like you. I love discovering the way other people live and what their beliefs are. I find it very interesting to learn what other customs, religions, and people are out there. It's all very fun to learn and try.

during the lunar new year, my family and i try to travel to get away from our other family members. well, one it's a family "outing" and the other it's to get away from all the family gossip.

Yea it's good to get away to get away from family gossip. But it's good that you travel with your family to enjoy and have fun.

I love to visit places of historical interests, with old buildings or ruins. I enjoy knowing the people, their cultures and sampling their local food. Not to mention buying/getting souveneirs.

Souvenirs! They are cool and fun to have. Show off to friends and relatives of what you got from Spain. or Europe, or Asia. I myself have a souvenir from India. It is a cricket bat I bought because in India I made new friends and they got me into playing cricket so that was pretty fun.

It gets kinda boring looking at the same place all the time. If you in the city maybe you get tired of looking at buildings all the time, so you want to travel to the ocean. Maybe people that see the ocean all the time want to go somewhere were they can climb mountains.

Ah I can see what you mean. I get tired of seeing houses and cars everyday. I would like to be around skyscrapers or even on a tropical island!

It's good to get away from your every day life sometimes. I enjoy having completely different scenery as well as see and learn the history of a particular place. I can relax and do things that I've never done before. I see different people, experience different weather and basically have lot of fun.

I completely agree. It is good to get away from the stressful lives that many of us have. I guess we can call it a vacation? :)
