I think that traveling to a place is enjoyable. You might like to go by car to the beach or do some walking in the countryside. Maybe you find it relaxing to travel by train or exciting to fly on a plane. There are perhaps places of interest in your home country and other destinations worth visiting overseas. Are you are person that hasn't been out of his or her home country? If so where would you like to travel that would be enjoyable? Have you had some enjoyable travel experiences if so please share?

Oh yes, I love travelling and I try to do it as soon as I have a chance! So far, I have been lucky enough to travel a lot, but mostly in Europe. I would really like to go to the Far East and China in particular!

China has a lot of beautiful attractions due to its large territory for west to east, from north to east. If you go to China, I would recommend "Jiu Zhaigou", a very beautiful place with water in different color, quiet and peace. It's amazing. And "Jiu Zhaigou" is in Sichuan province where it has Panda, the animal I like most. Haha...

To have a vacation or a break in work is so good. It founds to be relaxing and exciting especially when you travel to a place for the first time. I want to share with my experience last year 2009, that is a summer vacation in Boracay Islands one of the best resort in the World. I and my group mates went there, to have a summer escapade, for us to refresh from the busy work in the office. Site seeing, Food Tripping, Picture taking and even autograph to the Celebrities that we meet along the beach.These moment cannot be forgotten anymore.Therefore I can say that travelling is good when we found our life so boring, so why not to explore if we have a budget in our pocket. So wanna share your stories?

Personally, I really do think that travelling can certainly help someone to enjoy life. Especially if you enjoy travelling and seeing new places. For some, it isn't really a priority. In this case, it just means that they have other ways of enjoying life. But there are still those people who do enjoy travelling and for whom it is a priority.

I like traveling by motorcycle. During the warm months my friends and I ride all over the southeast U.S. and usually write articles about the places we have been and the interesting people we have met.

I used to travel as part of my job, and I love it! I love the excitement of seeing a new place, finding out about a different culture and meeting new people. Its such an amazing experience and we are so lucky to be able to travel. I prefer to go overseas but travelling can be in your own country, anywhere that you havent seen before!

I'm from Ecuador(South America) and I've never traveled to another country. I would like to travel to Europe, England or maybe Germany, because I really like the climate there, and the architecture is really good too. I also like architecture from the Czech Republic. I think that travelling is the way to enjoy your life!

I live in the US and I have only been to Canada which I don't feel is that far out of the country. I would love to see Ireland and most of Europe. Traveling is stressful for me now and I just don't go but I used to really get excited and it was very enjoyable. I don't think I will make it to Ireland, Scotland, Whales, England and the Isle of Mann like I used to plan to do.

For me. Travelling is the most enjoyable part of my life. I love to go off and see new things. These days, most of my travel is road trips with the family, as it was when I was a child with my parents. I have travelled around the world and seen some wonderful things. I would like to repeat these experiences another time with my family in tow this time though. That will be some time off though as it gets a bit expensive to take us all on a big overseas trip. I have mentioned in your previous travel discussions about my world travels and my recent trip this year to Norfolk Island which were fantastic, but I will share with you now the trip that I am taking in a weeks time. On Boxing Day, we will be travelling by car with a trailer and roof full of kayaks, bikes and camping gear to a lake front campsite in Jindabyne in the Snowy Mountains of NSW just south of Canberra. We will be climbing to the top of the highest mountain in Australia and will be catching up with friends along the way. We are also hoping to stop in at the Blue Mountains for a bit too on the return journey. One week to go. I cannot wait!

Travelling whether local or overseas can be rewarding. It may open our eyes! We can travel by road, seas or air. Going to other countries, we may have first hand experience of the new cultures and way of life. By all means go explore the world.

I like to travel to Europe. I find the countries in Europe full of history, rich in cultures and the people are very friendly. However, due to the currency, Euros are relatively quite pricey for we Asian to travel. I love London as many of the attractions there are free of charge. For example, their museums, planetarium are not chargeable.

I also like traveling. So that's one of the reason I tried to get a job that involves a bit of traveling. Although where I travel now is only confined here in north America, it helps me get out of (my home country) the house. And although I am mostly alone during these business trips, I still find enjoyment with it.

I love to travel, but unfortunately i have travel sickness. And i don't have money to pay for the expenses. I have only been out of my home town twice and both i can say were very enjoyable. I have traveled just within my city and most of it are also very enjoyable and worth cherished. I love going to the beach with friends and family and also go to the mountain to relax and play.

I can tell you're really into travelling (I swear, almost every discussion I see you start is about it!) Which is awesome. I've been out of the country on ONE trip, where I saw a lot of Sweden, Denmark, and a little bit of Amsterdam and Paris. It was super amazing and I want to do it again. Travelling, even if not out of the country, is a big goal I have for myself for my life. I want to see all parts of the world, eventually. The beaches, the temples, the rivers, the churches, the palm trees, the different cultures all over. I would love to. I feel like people who don't like to travel just haven't experienced it enough or haven't had a good enough experience.

I've always loved travelling but my family doesn't go much though. I love planes and I love to travel in them. Well the thing is that going travelling is a relaxing matter and we can see a lot of things in other country that we can't see in our own country. It does help us enjoy life even more. I suggest that if you are one who has retired, it's best to travel around the world, learn about other people's cultures, go for some sigh-seeing and most importantly, have fun

I would love to go walking around different countries. I do love to walk but i also like to look at different sites and see the world. I would love to just jump onto a plane and have a walk around the country then back on the plane to another country and just carry on doing this. I have only been abroad about 5 times which isn't much but would love to see more beautiful sites. See what the different countries have to offer.

Personally, I would say that traveling really helps in enjoying life especially if you travel with your family. I have traveled to different places such as in the USA, Japan, and China. I stayed longer in China, in fact, I considered it as my second country. I've met a lot of great people and have been to great places in China. Xiamen is the best place I've visited in China. I always jog in the morning along the seashore of Jeng Zou An area (near Xiamen Da Xue). I had great memories also in Guangzhou, Zhongshan, and Hong Kong. For me, China is such a wonderful place.
