Reasons To Travel? (checklist, house swap, lighthouses, vacation)

[raubre]

I love expeiencing new people, food, culture, nightlife, society, nature, etc. It's an escape from reality.

I think I was born to travel....I just can't do it as much as I want to.

I was camping at 3 months old, could put up a tent at 5(with help) with no help by 7.
My parents didn't have a lot of money but they would make sure we went camping somewhere different every summer.
This can be a drawback with children so young...we went to "My Old Kentucky Home"...not realizing it was Steven Foster;s home and I was so confused because we were from Illinois, not Kentucky
Also....Omaha Nebraska doesn't have a Wild Kingdom (Mutual of Omaha's)

I never flew until my early 20's...life became an open book then....but truthfully? If I could, I'd drive.

I enjoy cruises....but would never make them my only way to travel. Life is too short to do the same thing all the time.

Right now I'm planning a motorcycle trip from Orlando to DC via the Blue Ridge Parkway using no interstates. This is going to be so cool.

My dream trip is to drive north south east and west stopping at all the little funky attractions like the world's largest ball of string.

Many here have traveled more extensively than I but when I can I love to. I like to visit places that have come alive to me in my reading. I know I would never have visited Savannah, and the Golden Isles of Georgia had I not read Eugenia Price's great, and well researched historical novels of the Civil War era. She based her characters on actual families and people. I was alble to visit the graveyard of one of her major families on St. Simon Island.

The next thing on my "Bucket List" is to visit Yellowstone National Park.

I think you are right, many people seem to indeed seek all of the above. I'm afraid to me those are not really important though.

1. The Weather - I really don't care, as long as it's not raining buckets all the time I don't really have a problem with grey skies and yes even rain. I prefer cold or cool climates generally speaking


2. The Beaches As long as they are deserted and devoid of resorts and other over-development yes beaches are fantastic, too many beautiful places have been spoilt by those aforementioned things though


3. The Nightlife I like nice local bars and restaurants and if in cities live theatre, Jazz, Opera etc.... clubs do absolutely nothing for me and didn't even when I was in my twenties



4. Nautical Attractions Once again if the area is very low key and deserted, fantastic, otherwise queuing for some water-skiing lessons or having the share a reef with hundreds of tourists is not my idea of fun. I adore the Oceans and water sports but not in resorts


5. Family Fun I am fortunate ( for me) not to have kids so having Hubby all to myself is all I need. Family orientated places can often be a nightmare of fake, artificial stuff, I like places where local families hang out, much nicer than meeting the same type of people you work with all year whilst in a family resort

I like to travel because I want to see the world, plain and simple.
Staying in one place forever is no fun for me.

Someone said it best at my old job......She said that traveling was 'theraputic' to her......."Truer" words have never been spoken.

A new perspective.. can save time, cost of therapy, etc.

I do it so i can pick up women at the bar by showing them visas and stamps in my passport.
