Travelers!!

[Mirka]

One big thing I like to do is travel. It's expensive, it drains all my money, but it's worth every penny in my eyes. I was just curious to know if there are any other people who love to travel. Traveling is in my blood and I feel like there's something missing when I don't have a trip planned within a specific timeframe. *dork*

I love traveling to random states in the USA. I've been to Tennessee twice in the last four months (I just got back two weeks ago), California (LA), Texas, (Dallas), Minnesota, random places in Canada.  I've also been to Italy (Verona/Mantova) (I run a website for a singer that lives there and she invited me to visit in 2006) and to England. I'm probably going to be heading to New York sometime in the summer... but only if I can find one of those air + hotel sales. I'll be going to visit a friend who is suffering from cancer... we were suppose to go traveling to Europe this fall but he was diagnosed this month so I'm just going to go visit him.

So... post here if you travel or would love to travel - and share your stories!! :D

I would love to someday... but cannot...

I certainly love to travel. Mostly for conventions. I'm finding myself able to make more and more trips every year. It's nice. There are some places that I go every year (for cons) Like California and Seattle. Other places I will be going to this year for my first time will be Pennsylvania for AC and a trip to Palm springs with my parents. As time goes on, I would love to travel to further conventions like Eurofurrance in Europe. I have gone to Montreal before to visit family over there. Was very unlucky cause it was during winter at the time. I've always wanted to do a cross Canada train trip and my all time favorite, a trip to Japan. Call me typical white guy but I've always wanted to go there. Maybe even time that trip for the fur con that happens there.

Seattle! *duh* I've been there many times, too. XP
I usually use conventions as my excuse to go travelling... I went to MTAC (mtac.net) the beginning of this month. I haven't been to any fur cons yet... but I'd love to. Unfortunately, doesn't look like I'll be making it to any of those this year.
I was heartbroken I couldn't go to Sakuracon this month, but unforutnately it was on the day after I got back from Tennessee and I couldn't take any more time off work. I had a ride / place to stay too. Sucky!

I'd love to go to Japan, but honestly I usually travel alone and I don't know anyone in Japan, so I wouldn't want to go. I am too afraid that I'd get lost or something hah. I have a bunch of friends in California that organize group trips there, but they stay for weeks on end and have rich parents supporting their visits. Maybe one day, when money is right. It would be an amazing experience, though. I'd totally go to a club where they dance ParaPara and soak in that atmosphere. That's definitely on my 'to do' list.

Ive traveled! ... all around BC! XD

This makes most people cringe for whatever reason, but i wont lie: ive never really 'been' outside of BC. Heres my history of international travel:

- Went to a family reuinion in Alberta for a Day when i was 6 or 7
- Went to West Ed Mall for 5 hours, when i was 7
- Went to Washington (just over the border) for 3 hours to go grocery shopping (was in Osoyoos visiting my Uncle). Also when i was a mere lad.


This is quite literally, all my travel XD But ive been everywhere from Prince George to Vancouver and everywhere inbetween lol

[ShadowKeeper]

Who doesn't like to travel?

I travelled all over BC as a kid.  And that was about it until just a few years ago.  My sister loves to travel, and landed a job in the Carribean as a diving instructor.  Since I could go stay with her for free and all I needed was a ticket, I jumped on it!!  It was a lot of fun, and we were totally hooked up.  Got to stow away on island cruises etc for free, learned the local secret handshake (for real).

After that, nothing major until South Africa last year.  OMFG, that may very well have been the most amazing experience I'll ever have in my life!  It has certainly wet my appetite!  I'm dying to go back and tour more of Africa.  Some parts of the middle east would be cool to see to, or South America.  And of course I should see some of Europe at some point, heh.  Basically, the more different the place, the better!

[Silvermink]

I've been to a fair bit of western Canada (BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan) and the US (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, California, Nevada, and Arizona). I also went to Quebec in 1993, the UK in 2003, and Mexico last December. Still have a lot of places I want to go some day, though - Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and the rest of Europe to name a few.

I think my favorite place so far has been Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Katherine and I were down there for a week with my parents. Beautiful weather, friendly people, nice beaches, amazing (and cheap) food. We're hoping to go again maybe in the winter/spring of 2010 sometime. Maybe during the Olympics, since we'd kind of like to be anywhere but here.

If you ever go to Vallarta, try taking the public buses. We got a sermon in Spanish one morning from a guy strumming on a guitar.

Most of my travel's been on work over the last three years. They've shipped me all over the place. I don't have a lot of time to connect with people, unfortunately.
Notably, I wound up in southern China in late 2007 for a few days, and in central England for two trips. (I really need to go back to England on my own time - I plan to some time this year, as I need to use my freuqent-flyer miles before they die.)
I've also been to Florida, California, Illinois numerous times, Vegas three times (I play poker, and actually like Vegas - which is why they haven't sent me there for a while), the high desert of Utah (Bonneville Salt Flats, fascinating trip), New Orleans, Memphis... and a bunch of other places that weren't nearly as interesting.
If nothing else, I've gotten good at packing! *g*

[Mirka]

Illinois numerous times,

I can't believe I forgot Illinois! XD; I've been there a few times myself.

[Wyrd-Hotd]

Besides Alberta, Saskatchewan. and places in B.C. i have traveled to Disneyland, when i was about 7? but i LOVE trips, mainly driving though, i love going through the rockies, do it about 4-5 times (both ways) each year and i love it so much, its usually to go to Calgary, and now that i have my own wheels and am almost out of school i will be able to travel wherever i want, and i plan on going lots of places!

[hammy]

yeah, I love to travel quite a lot.
been all over
australia, cyprus, all over the middle east, egypt, lebanon, south africa (capetown), england, ireland, scotland, france, spain, sweden, india, denmark, new zealand...

I'd love to visit the US someday, hopefully for some con or something.

edit: oh forgot Thailand, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Germany

[Kitten]

I've been to England, France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Mexico and the Bahamas.

I've also been to Quebec and Alberta, as well as Washington, California and Florida.

[Haloth]

I have been in California, washington of the USA. Lima Peru and Santiago/La Serena Chile.

I have also been as far north as Smithers. and most of vancouver Island.     I would suggest that you check out Coombs, should you ever find yourself for Port Alberni.  You will understand once there.

[Tony Greyfox]

Oh, I spent a bunch of summers in and around Smithers, Terrace and Kitimat. That's a great area.
