yeah i know  that canary islands is a part of spain and reunion is part of france but for me it counts as own parts of the world. i wouldn't really say i was in spain when visiting canary islands.

i believe on a south american trip i would visit more than one country. maybe i will use fifa world cup or olympic games in brazil for a trip to combine watching some sports and traveling before/afterwards.

There's tons of stuff to see in America, but I've seen very much of it. I think the only place left that I want to go to in America is New York City. and Maybe Niagra Falls

Yeah Japan is my favourite country worldwide, but being a blonde, blue eyed white girl I'd never fit in living there, So NZ it is, its still a great place (just not harajuku, tokyo haha)

You'll love Japan its amazing

& yeah I'm lucky to be an only child from an upper class famiily with parents who want nothing more than to pay me off & have me out of their way, so i do have plenty of resources & not having to work (if i dont want to, because of the upper class resources thing) helps too. Sounds amazing,doesnt it?, but the reality is not so great, can't fault the ability to travel though!

You must be  kidding, they love blond, blue eyed white girls! You'd be superpopular. Even a scruffy brown haired, brow eyed white mess like me can raise a few looks, lol. You could be an English teacher, there's crazy demand for native speakers, you don't even need to have studied anything related to teaching.

I was in Japan already for a couple of months, but living there is definitely going to be refreshing.

You're life sounds great, what's 'not so great' about it?

Haha I actually was an english teacher over there, I spent around 3-4 months each at 4 differnt schools in Kyoto through a progranm run from Australia called JET

Yeah while they 'love' blond blue eyed types, they'll be nice to you initailly, but over time you realise you'll never actually fit in because of it. It got so bad some of the wives of other teachers wouldn't allow their husbands to hang out with me at all. Not saying they are not nice, they are extra nice consistently to your face, but there is a difference between people being pleasant to you and people actually accepting you as 'one of them'. The first definitely, the latter sadly would never happen for me, I was actually kind of lucky to leave when i did as one of the wives in particular was pretty toxic toward me & things were getting very awkward.

Living there is fun though, & as you are not an australian 'beach' girl (thats the most simple term many use these days I believe) but a male (who are far more respected over there than females) you shouldnt have any problems with friends & colleagues wives (& their connections) etc

hahaha, well thats too long to answer here & you'd probably get bored halfway through the answer anyway, dont want to seem like the poor little rich girl in public, or get banned

Yes, I like travelling.

I'm from Colombia, and my dad loves travelling, (as a tourist unfortunately), so I've travelled quite a lot.

My first place abroad was Cuba, wonderful place. Funny thing, our passports were never stamped :(, my parents were afraid that the US embassy would've rejected a potential application for a visa. lol

In Europe, I've been as a tourist in England, Scotland, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Greece (and in the Aegean sea), Spain, Czech Republic,  and Monaco. I've stayed in some places more than others, I love Paris, being there during the Fete de la musique is fantastic. Planning to go to Ireland, and the Scandinavian countries, hopefully soon.

I've been in China, Japan, and Hong Kong as a tourist also, because of my mother, she wanted to go badly, and in 2008, we had a huge trip over there. Tokyo was fantastic, love the city, pity I only stayed there for 3 days :( I'm planning to apply for a scholarship and study there in a few years. Pity it didn't worked for the girl above this post.

I've also been in Mexico and Perú, again as a tourist, beautiful places. Quite refreshing to realise how different people are, something some people in the states need to know about 'latinos'.

I went to Dominican Republic in my last high school year,  just stayed in a resort drinking and partying :)

Now, I spent 1 year in Australia finishing my undergraduate degree. That year, I also took a nice trip to Bangkok (would've said Thailand, but it was only an afternoon in Bangkok, so ...), Cambodia, and Vietnam. Cambodia may be my favourite place on earth, and Angkor Wat is just....something else.

Oh, and last year I went to Ontario and Quebec in Canada. Lovely country, and really nice people. Yes, I also liked the Quebecois.

And I've been also to the US, as a kid to Orlando and that, and later to other places. Liked some cities, but in general, I don't like the country. There is nothing more annoying that security checkpoints in the US airports. Nothing!

Lots of plans, and hopefully I'll do half of those.

Nice thread :)

I have been to Canada once, I was 5 I think. I'm a teenager I don't get out much, I've only been to like 15 states. I do enjoy the thought of traveling though. I'd love to go to the Nordic countries (mostly Iceland and Norway).
