I love to travel, have been many places. I give lots of reviews on TripAdvisor for places, restaurants. As part of my sales job, I am a travel agent, too.

I used to travel a lot, both nationally (U.S.) and internationally. But since my MIs became so debilitating, I am pretty much grounded.

My goal in life is to travel to every continent before I die. So far, I have not left the continental United States. I have a lot of catching up to do...
Thanks for this!

Well after a bout of mania I am left with nothing. I can barely afford to go across the street, haha.

But, if I could...

I would go to the back country of the Rocky Mountains of Alberta and BC. Or, I would take another European river boat cruise. I am definitely not a hot climate kind of girl.

Back when I had a job, I made it a point to go someplace in Europe every summer, so I've seen a lot of that continent. Still want to visit the middle east and South America. I used to have a high travel job, that had me going back and forth Canada twice a year, so I've seen a lot of places in Canada, except the far north, which I also want to visit. Big motivation for me going back to work is so that I can travel again.

I have been to every state but Alaska and Hawaii. Been to Canada a few times and Mexico. Did all this when I was a kid. We would travel to different paces for Ford Model A conventions. The inly traveling I do know, is to this doctor, that doctor, this doctor, etc. I would love to go back to West Virginia one more time.......

Growing up my parents had no money so the only traveling I did was from Calif to Kansas on the train every summer to spend with my grandparents. After I got married & got my degree, spent 5 weeks in Rome, long weekend in Cabo San Lucas, several weeks around Banff Canada skiing, spent a week in Alaska exploring, winter vacations for almost 20 years spent in Jackson Hole & Yellowstone area. Loved to down hill ski, x-country ski & snow shoe, also did dog sledding & snow mobiles into Yellowstone.

I have been through almost every state from Ca to ky mostly just traveling through. Enjoyed Sedona Az & hot air ballooning there & also in Park City in the fall.

Loved traveling but no money now....I love where I live & always had to vacation to places like where I live now. So it's good & don't miss the traveling. There is enough historical places to see here & explore.

I also loved spending time backpacking into the Grand Tetons & in the Ca sierras out of the Bishop area..

When I was living it, it didn't seem like much but looking back, it did amount to quite a bit of travel

I don't have much means to travel, but I like seeing some new places if I can do it peacefully and without a lot of stress. My friend tries to convince me of going on a city holiday but I don't much like things like that. I more like nature and history.

When I was growing up I was fortunate enough to go abroad many places on holiday with my parents. I think the most exotic though was Mauritius.

Being unemployed I haven't been abroad for 5 years now, since I no longer get invited on holiday with my parents. The last place I went was Mallorca with my friends after graduating Uni. The only other time I went away with friends was on finishing high school. We went to Croatia that time which was great.

I'm itching to get away again. Places I'd really like to visit now include: Iceland, Norway, Japan, Canada (probably Vancouver) & New York.

I'm so with you on that.......I grew up in Los Angeles & remember hating living in the city from as young as I can remember (about 5 years old). I kept bugging my parents to move to the country, buy a farm....but no way. Then I ended up graduating from the univ & my career kept me in the city. Kept moving out farther & farther away into the desert.

I left there 9 years ago & now live on my own little 10 acre farm with woods & stream & wildlife just outside of the oldest town in Kentucky. Surrounded by history way beyond anything I have experienced other than my visit to Rome. I love the colorful history of the area I'm living in....& I don't even have to vacation here.....I live here 24/7. Finally I'm where I always wanted to be all my life. Never thought that would happen. There are so many historical places to explore around here one doesn't have to vacation to see them.

Yes! Haven't been out of the US unfortunately. I would love to make it out of the US someday, hopefully Italy or Japan.

I don't really enjoy traveling anymore, though I did, a long time ago. Honestly, the TSA causes me so much stress with flying, it's not worth it to me to go anyplace .

I do wish that I could go see Antarctica though! Everyone around me thinks it's weird (b/c "oh no, it's cold there!") but all the pictures that I've seen online look amazing, and it seems like such an adventurous, neat thing to do!

I like traveling, but due to back problems it's really hard for me to sit in a car for a long time (my anxiety doesn't help either). I live in Kansas and have been to Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa (briefly because we got lost in Omaha), Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, South Dakota (when I was little so I don't remember it), Arkansas and Florida (flew to Disney World a few years ago). My wife and I have been talking recently about traveling around to different states for vacations.

I love to travel. Over the last 30 years I've been able to see a lot of Europe, a little bit of Russia, even out into Siberia. A few trips into Canada and all over the U.S. Hopefully, I'll be able to get to the Far East and Australia soon.

Given the money, I would book an additional river boat cruise. I would like to re-do the Danube if I could.

I do very much enjoy traveling, though I don't get to do it often. I want to explore the United States more, but also I want to see other places like Italy, England, etc.

I did the one on the Mississippi River close to 40 years ago. I just don`t remember if it was the Dixie Queen or the Memphis Belle?????? May have been something different. I do remember it had the huge paddle wheel on the back. It was a fun trip, lasted most of the day. When My wife and I lived in Alabama in 1987 a side wheeler came past the part of the Alabama River we lived on. Never did find out what it was?????

I love traveling. But now living with student budget, I only travel locally in Finland - and that's worth of all my money. Later after graduation I will travel further for sure. I wanna go to India or North or South America with my boyfriend.
By now I've seen some Sweden, Norway, Russia, Estonia, Fuerteventura (Canary Islands) and Strasbourg (France). Long time ago.
