Eversince I was a child, it's my dream to travel to places I want to go. Many places around the world I want to visit. I loved to discover things. I want to meet different people, go different places, and eat different kinds of food. A friend of mine already in Europe, always tells me to fix my requirements. But then due to work overload still have not able to get all the requirements I need. To experience others culture is really a pleasure. So guys, what motivates you to travel? Let us know.

It has always been one of my dreams to travel around the world. I live in Europe and I have already visited many of the other European countries and I have also had the chance to live in other countries than my own. It has been really interesting to travel and to live/work abroad. I love travelling, because it gives me the chance to experience new places, a different culture and a different language. I find it interesting to see places which are very different from my own country and I also like to meet the local people.

Great! There's no harm in trying anyway. Dream. You have to make your dreams come true.

Since I was a young child I dreamed about traveling and loved going on trips with my family to France. The different scenery and the sound of the language were very interesting for me. I had a globe and used to imagine going to different places. Traveling overseas was my dream and it did come true. I got a paper round at age 13 and a Saturday job at 16. I went to Greece with my mum when I was 14 and was amazed by the sight of the historical buildings. I loved the hot climate and the language had a different script to my mother tongue. When I was 17 I went to the Netherlands with my friend and we visited Anne Frank's house. That was fascinating. At 18 I worked as a children's nanny in Finland and traveled around Europe by train after that. I let my home and got a working holiday visa for Australia so I went around the world when I was 20. I adore seeing native wildlife, meeting the local people and seeing various different scenery.

From my early childhood, I have been traveling to places. My main motivators have been my parents who really love to travel. It has become a passion for me to travel to different places. My next big travel destination would be Europe and the USA.

Great! You have to fix things while you're still young. :) Go and find some places that would satisfy you.

I have traveled a lot in my life, especially as a child. My family took me on vacations every summer and at first I just liked getting away. As I got older, I began to enjoy the different cultures that surrounded me and my love of travel began to blossom. My last trip was to Italy and it has been the highlight of my life at this point. I have never been so overwhelmed by beauty as I was when I walked the streets of Rome and took a boat ride around the island of Capri. I will never forget some of my memories of that place and hope to return. My next big trip I want to go on is to England. I want to be able to experience many more travels so that I can enjoy how big and wonderful our world really is.
