How often do you travel? (cruises, cost, hotels, airline)

[Mooseketeer]

We tend to do 3 holidays a year with short breaks in between. Usually 2/3 weeks in Spring, 4 weeks in the Fall, and 2 weeks around Christmas with domestic week-ends away too.

I avoid summer vacation like the plague, too crowded and usually too expensive too. I also find the weather tends to be best in the Fall or Spring for the destinations I love most.

Well, i need to work hard to earn my vacations, I visit once in a year to have adventurous time. Alabama and Florida are my favourite destinations that fits in my budget and i have enjoyed many activities during my trip.

I used to do about two trips per year, averaging a couple of months spent away total. As of last year, I've switched it to one 2-3 month trip per year, and I think this saves me a fair bit of money and allows me to travel more freely at a choice time of year. Yay.

Flawed poll... We travel about 50% of the time.... As we have for decades.

I can travel for about the same price as staying home (food and property taxes)

Transportation is currently really cheap in USA and within regions. Just booked a $13 flight in Europe. Frontier has been selling $19 seats this year. Last yr I lived in Thailand and traveled out of country every weekend for under $50,

Travel like a local, never a tourist...
stay in guest homes $10/ night world wide
eat via grocery stores
While in USA I use my WVO cars (As I have for 40 yrs)= Free fuel via chinese or mexican cookery.
1200 miles per tank / fill
We keep spare CHEAP homes in scenic areas, near cheap airports; homes are rented, but have a free place at each for us to stay; cabin / guesthouse / rv

I often stay on farms and help with projects.
Have kept a career that availed international assignments (being paid to travel)
Use air mileage credit card to build houses (Accumulate lots of miles fast)

I have a bad case of wanderlust... Born to a truckdriver, grew up traveling, never stopped.... Homeschooled my own kids while living abroad... They are stricken as well . It is a lost cause, no cure but to keep on the move.

Someday I might settle down doubt it.
This year I am traveling 100% of the year internationally (looking for a place to live that has access to healthcare, since I have a sickly spouse). So far, so good. 10,000 miles from home & 80F in March.

I'm not counting long-distance trips to visit family, which is an annual commitment. I usually have work to do on those trips, but that's another story.

An actual long-distance vacation, I save up for that, and it doesn't happen every year. I work hard the rest of the time, and I want those vacations to be as self-indulgent and relaxing as I can afford.

I can't afford much this year due to the low Canadian dollar, but I'll keep saving for that next big overseas trip.

I try and visit 5 new countries per year, but am not always successful.

I do a fair amount of domestic travel, too.

Every year!

[pigeonhole]

I love traveling, but it is expensive and tiring. So I found a solution : only once a year, however I stay longer (1 month usually, my vacation time)

[No Happy]

For the past few years I've been out of the country about 70-80% of the time, work related but still plenty of freedom for fun and it's taken me to over 25 countries so it's always go go go. I'm going to Ecuador and Bolivia in April and July, respectively, but after that I'm being placed in Hawai'i permanently in August so travel will probably seize to two or three times a year for a bit.
