With travel made more accessible and more affordable, there is an increasing number of people making travel plans more frequently than before. Given more travel destinations to choose from and more reasons to see the world, travel agencies are experience booming business in the recent years. So how often do you travel? Of course that will also largely depend on time availabilty which your work allows you to go for that vacation.

I try to travel twice a year, one local and one international destination. I agree that travel nowadays is a lot more affordable than in the previous decades, mostly because of budget carriers. That is why I would like to make online writing my main source of income so that I will not be tied to a desk.

Hi I am really interested to find out more about writing online as I also prefer not to be working office hours. Care to share with me? Thanks =)

I have just started to work online too. I have had some success with reviewstream but lately, a lot of my reviews were rejected. I have decided to shift my attention to helium and shared reviews. I got a lot of tips from other mylotters here. Try surfing old discussions on writing online. Look at helium, triond and associated content. It depends a lot on where you are. US residents have more choices than all the other countries.

Traveling by plane is more expensive these days due to airport tax and extra charges. It is usually because security has been increased and that the fuel is very expensive for the airlines. I booked a flight from London to Vancouver for me, my son that will be three years old and my daughter which will be almost one year old. I looked at the fare and saw most of the money spent was airport tax and extra charges. I am so looking forward to my trip to Canada but it is a very expensive journey. I traveled on a flight around the world for just myself for less money when I was 20 years old. I go on at least one overseas trips a year. Sometimes I can afford three overseas trips a year. When was teaching full time in a long term contract I booked a flight to New Zealand. I was able to leave in November and spend Christmas in the Bay of Islands watching dolphins.

Wow so you mean to say you have already travelled round the world? Well going to visit different countries does leave fond memories and gain knowledge which is indeed valuable and definitely last for a long time! =)

I usually take domestic vacation trips twice a year. This May, I'll be getting 3 weeks of vacation time from my work. I'm thinking about taking one of those weeks & start taking international trip.

Well, I went on a four day vacation last year, it was short but it was so relaxing that i'm still feeling the warm breeze from the sea on my face whenever I think about that vacation. I'm planning to go on vacation at least once every year.

HI I totally agree with you the fond memories of vacations that somehow do not fade off easily. Good vacations certainly make a great impact and are indeed great for rejuvenation =)

hi! I really haven't counted the times when I was in a vacation, but I try to go on a vacation/trip at least twice per year, because I really like to travel and love to visit different places in my country and in the countries in Europe! well, I also make some one-day trips every months during the summer, sometimes even every week when I have money enough, and I travel with all my friends to some of the nearest big cities or small villages, with interesting landscapes!
