How many mylotters have witnessed the beautiful places which is fare away from their hometown. Well, I live in India, Mumbai. And till now, I haven't visited any abroad countries. Travelled only to my native place i.e. Mangalore and some other beautiful places in India like Bangalore, Tirupati and Chennai. Thats it. I am a die hard fan to travel by airplane. So most of the time, I see to it that I travel by flight. But sometimes, the fare rates go really high which makes my trip cancelled or I need to go for an alternative like train. But I am a keen interest and really willing to visit an abroad country which is beautiful. I still dont have a passport. But I will be soon applying for it. So how many fo you like to go to abroad and how many of your dreams of going abroad has been fulfilled?

I come from a small country in Europe. I have fulfilled my dream of traveling overseas and so far have been to 52 different countries. At age 20 I traveled around the world and to help found that I let out my home as well as got a working holiday visa for Australia. When I was 25 I went on a safari in Kenya. At age 29 I traveled to New Zealand and visited some of the islands in the Pacific Ocean. This year I took my toddler son to South Africa. We explored Cape Town and the Garden Route. I know for my next trip my son will be over age 2 which will mean I will spend more on traveling. Travel is my top hobby and I will never give up on it.

I am from the US. I have gone abroad several times. My first experience was to the Bahamas, 9 years ago. Since then I have spent 3 consecutive months in Europe. I have been back 2 more times. We have plans to go to Canada this summer. Europe is scheduled again for next fall! I also love going abroad. It doesnt matter how I get there. I simply love traveling and seeing new things!
