The world. It's a big place - unless you are Unicron of course.
Do you want to travel and if so, where and why? Is there somewhere specific you plan to visit one day or a trek of some sort you'd love to participate in?
If not, why not?
Where do you NOT want to go and why?

Oh, there are so many places I'd love to visit! Canada, especially that beautiful province called Prince Edward Island. I want to visit Italy, and Greece, and France, and Egypt, and England, and Spain . . . I could go on and on. In fact, there are so many places I want to travel to that it's hard for me think of a place where I wouldn't want to go. :p

I want travel! My number one place to visit is Brisbane, Australia. Then after that I don't care where in the world I travel just as long I get to travel someplace far away from my current location.

I really want to go somewhere tropical and warm, where the people are friendly. I was thinking maybe Jamaica. I would love to go somewhere between Dec-Feb, so that I can miss the cold spells.
A place I wouldn't want to go anytime soon would be the middle east, for obvious reasons.

I do not want to travel because it pulls me away from cartoons and the computer. There is one place I desperately do not want to go to. It is the most overrated state in the country - Florida.
I'd go to Japan from obvious reasons (if you know me) video games, anime etc etc. Man that would be awesome.

There are a lot of places I want to, and some I actually plan to, go. The main place I want to visit is Great Britain, it's my field of study in college, and I just love it love it love it. Besides there, it'd be great to visit Japan for it's culture, test out my knowledge of the language, and buy all the anime I can get my hands on. Hmm, Africa, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, France are a few other places I'd like to see sometime in my life. Hehe, might be nice to actually visit places closer to home as well, like New York, New Jersey, Massachusets, Virginia. So many places to see....so little money :(

Been to Greece, and would love to back. And pretty much anywhere in the Mediterranean: Spain, Italy, Turkey. . . .

Pretty much any place not actively engaged in a war right now, so I can cross off a good chunk of Africa and Aisa off that list. Otherwise, where I can go when I have the time to do it. :) Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Brazil, Argentina, Vietnam......

Since I want to *move* from here, I guess that counts as travel. Would like to see (not having done any real amount of travel at all): California, the Pacific Northwest, New York City, Florida (to see: Cape Canaveral; Miami (art deco housing, lively nightlife), the Florida Keys), Washington DC, Hawaii, Alaska, Canada (Toronto, maybe Montreal, even though I don't speak French), perhaps England someday, as well.
Places I *don't* want to visit: after a trip to Mississippi for a funeral back in high school, don't want to visit there again. Also would rather not visit: Utah, most of the south besides Atlanta (and maybe Memphis), war-torn countries (for obvious reasons :-)

Alright...first off, Barb, Livewire, and Brainatra rock for saying they wanna come to Canada. :D
Me, I have a huge list.
First off, I haven't seen a terrible lot of my own country (only BC and Montreal, really), so I'd love to drive across Canada, coast to coast, spending a lot of time in the Rockies, Alberta, the Prairies, Toronto and Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec, and all the Maritimes right out to Newfoundland.
Heck, I'd love to see Alaska and the three Canadian territories some day, too. :)
As for the US, I've seen a lot of everything west of the Rockies already, but I really love California, so I'd love to see it again. Aside from that, I haven't seen much of anything else; I'd love to see Colorado, more of Texas, Chicago, and all of the eastern seaboard from Maine to Florida.
More of the Carribean would be great. Ditto for Mexico.
Europe...everywhere in Europe is on my list, and the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Denmark, and Greece are all on top of the list.
Africa...I have no super-desire to go, but Morocco, Egypt, and South Africa would be nice.
If things ever settle down in the Middle East I'd like to check out the Holy Land.
Australia is another must-have on my list.
Asia: Japan, Thailand, China
South America: No HUGE desire to check it out, but I'd love to see Rio de Janero.
Man, that's a big list. :)

I got the chance to travel a lot this summer, and now that I kow how much fun it is, I'd love to see some more places. Before this summer, basically the farthest I had ever been from the U.S. East Coast (I live in Virginia) was probably Ohio. But this summer I started out by going to Arizona for a mission trip, and also got to see parts of New Mexico and Utah. The midwest is very different form the east coast, and I loved being able to see it. Then about a month ago I took my first trip out of the United States to Italy. It was such a great experience, seeing all the cities filled with so much beauty and history (and you haven't lived until you've eaten gelato :p ).
Places I'd like to go? Let's see...in the U.S. I'd like to see New York City, and also would like to see parts of California. I've also always wanted to go to Canada, but still haven't seen it... Overseas, I'd love to go to England, especially London, and I would really like to visit Ireland. I've heard that Greece is beautiful, so I'd love to go there. I also want to go to Italy again sometime. We saw a lot while we were there, but there's so much more to see, and it's such a beautiful country.

Certainly when money allows.
The current UK 'fad' is to go to Australia. Every year a large excursion of 20 somethings head over there to travel and explore, when all they end up doing is slumming it in Sydney. That's not totally true, they also all end up with the same experiences. Skydiving, coral reef exploration and bungee jumping. It sounds silly but that seems to be the only place English youth seems to want to explore and they do it on the same route. I've had mates meet other friends in Sydney. It's depressing. No interest in culture or adventure, simply to follow the herd and get drunk in a different city.
I have no interest in Australia (sorry Aussies!). I would very much like to visit Japan. Singapore is meant to be very different as well. Canada is an aim one day. I hear that's a great place to visit and of course, being suffocated (by my own wishes) by American entertainment, America. I've been to Florida but would like to explore far more. New Orleans in particular holds musical interest to me.
I would like to go back to some of the places I've been to in Europe. Amsterdam was cool. I'd like to go back to Italy too. Spain would be interesting.
Problem is I'm a big fraidy cat and while places such as Eygpt, Russia and Brazil hold interest, I couldn't see myself going. I'd be fish well out of water. Finish Uni (which I have yet to start) and then if I have the companions, see where the wind takes me!

I would love to travel all around the world especially Europe, Asia, and Australia. The only other country I have been to is England. Maybe when I am older I'll get to travel around. :)
