Saw the post made a few days ago by a 'university student'and I rather like the question, so now I'm asking all of you:
Why did you decide to travel?
What was your favorite place and why? How did it differ from your home country?
Where have you always wanted to go, but never been, what's holding you back?
doesn't matter which you answer, or if you answer questions I didn't even ask. One of my favorite things about traveling is meeting new people and hearing their experiences and stories.
As for us, Scott and I were considering buying an apartment this past winter back home in Vancouver BC Canada, we were looking around the lower mainland (North Vancouver for those of you who know the area) and saw a lot of crap places for some pretty high prices, and I asked Scott one day.. if we can afford to buy a dump and spend the rest of our lives paying it off and worrying about the tiny little space, why not put that money into something we both want to do and see the world? We haven't looked back, from that point until we left home March 8th we focused on prepairing ourselves for the trip as best we could.
My favorite place so far is Thailand, the randomness of the country and ease that I feel when I am in the country, along with the diverse landscape, stunning white sandy beaches with crystal clear water to the mountain ranges and jungles in the north, with it's bustling city of Bangkok. I have not seen much but am looking forward to exploring much of the world.
Scott's favorite is Luxembourg, because of it's uniquness.
(these are both very likely to change over the coming year).
and for both of us, we've always wanted to go to Africa (how vague), I think for Scott it's Egypt, and myself mid/east Africa, I have an interest in early archaeology and would love to continue schooling in the feild. As to what's holding us back, right now it's a few hundred thousand miles I believe, we will eventually get to Africa but are looking forward to Asia and Europe beforehand!
