I have been a very keen traveler since my teenage years. There are so many different countries in the world worth visiting. When I was a teenager I went around Europe, down to North Africa and across to the Caribbean. Then in my twenties I managed to travel around the world, go on a safari in Africa and visit the Holy Land. In my thirties I have traveled to tropical islands like the Seychelles and the Maldives plus to Central America. I have just come home from my latest trip which was to Colombia. At last I have been able to visit amazing South America. In the future I hope to visit more places in wonderful South America. Do you find that there are so many places worth visiting in the world? Have you been able to visit any of the places that you dream of going to? If you had a free return flight where would it take you?

Hi Wow! thats great, you have seen almost the entire world. I am a sailor, so during the course of my sea voyages, i have been to different parts of world, but as a sailor, and not as a tourist. The only place I have visited as tourist is Switzerland with my gurl. I would surely love to visit New Zealand.

I am nowhere near as well traveled as you are but I do love to do so. There are hundreds of places that I would love to see. They are all worth seeing at least once.

We travel all over the USA because my wife is a travel nurse. We have seen many parts of the United States that most people only read about. Our favorite thing to do when we travel in get acquainted in the culture or way of life for the people we encounter. We have swam in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, plus the Gulf of Mexico. If I had to visit anywhere it would be overseas just to see what its like. Asia would be fun to visit.

Yes, I think there are so many places worth visiting around the world. I haven't visited all the places I've dreamed of yet. If I had a free return flight, I'd like to visit the patagonias in Argentina.

Hi Max, I love traveling too, and I dream of going around the world someday, when I can afford it. Been to the US of A, some countries in Asia, but there are still may places I want to go to. One of the places I dream of visiting is Egypt, to see the famous pyramids. It's good that I don't have enough money to do that yet, coz I know it's not safe to travel to that part of the world these days. But when the funds permit, and when it's okay to go there, Egypt is still at the top of my list.

I didn't start traveling until I was out of college. I took a job in japan teaching English as a second language. The company that I worked for allowed you to trade days off with other workers, so my husband and I could take a long trip every month. We were living outside of tokyo so we got to do our weekend traveling in Tokyo, yokohama, kamakura, that area. Some of our bigger trips were to Kyoto, Nagano, Hiroshima and Sapporo. We also spent a week in Beijing China. My hubby and I returned and worked for 2 years saving up to go to Egypt for a month, and that was fabulous. We are slowly saving up for a trip to Italy and Greece. We have a two year old who sucks up our time and money (in a good way), so it will probably be another 10 years until we actually make it there.

Finally, the mystery place has been revealed. hahaha... I hope you had a good time despite of some of the delays. I wish I was like you when I was in my teenage years. I was not keen or I was not hoping that I can travel abroad when I was a kid because we are not that well of back then. But now, it seems little by little I am achieving my dream to travel the world. You are right, there are so many places to go to that is why I need to narrow them down to those places I wish I can go to before I die. hehehe... As for the free return trip, I might want to take a flight to Athens via Dubai so I can also have a stop over in Dubai. And from Athens, I will travel to Cairo and Istanbul as side trip and have my return as a surface from Istanbul to Manila...

I enjoy traveling as well and agree that there are so many wonderful places to go and more importantly so many great cultures to experience. Currently, my wife and I have a 9 and 3 year old which makes traveling a little more taxing. I would so love to go to Belize as well as to Italy to shop and Madrid. How did you enjoy Colombia? Are you going to these places due to a job or just for vacation?

I would love to be able to visit the amazing places of the world, it would be thrilling. I have been able to visit a few places I dream of going to- Paraguay and Iguazu falls being two of them. If i had a free return flight, i would go to Paraguay again.

I believe that everyone's dream would be to travel all over the world, but unfortunately few manage to do so as it is very costly. There are many wonders of the world, from the Egyptian deserts to the rain forests in the amazon. Till now, I'm dreaming of heading over to New Zealand, sad thing is I can't find the free time to do so. So naturally if I had a free return flight I would most likely head off to New Zealand.
