    Do you like to travel?

    I love to travel when I get time off from working. I love to go to the beach, and large cities! I really do enjoy shopping and going out to eat at new places.

    Yes, I also like to travel although I do not travel as much as I want. I need to work and also need to save money for several things like home improvements.
    I also love the beach and places that have beautiful views of nature.

    I'm sort of a wanderer, I love even doing simple things like hopping in the car and taking an afternoon to drive to a new city/town and explore. I think looking outside of our own lives and comfort zone has so much to teach us as people and is so interesting. So I'm definitely a traveler in my heart. I would love to head to Europe again sometime, I took a trip during the summer after I graduated high school and fell in love with the culture and people.

    I do too when I have the opportunity. Usually on my rest day I get out of my place to see part of the world wherever my feet would take me and definitely not that same place over and over again. We sometimes need that break from monotonous sights daily.

    I wish I had the money to travel. I would also love to explore different countries or just different states in the US and see the difference in culture, etc. Both my siblings have been able to travel so hopefully someday I too will be able to.

    When I was younger, I liked to travel. Hitch-hiking most of the time. Hitch-hiking is a good way to travel. You get to meet a lot of interesting people and you really get to see the land that you travel through.

    I love to travel! My husband used to make hotshot deliveries which is basically getting the equipment there as fast as you can. We traveled a lot when he was doing that and I loved it! Of course we didn't have all the animals we have now it would be a little more complicated now.

    Yes, that's the downside of having pets. They do somewhat curtail our traveling activities. In some ways, having a dog ties a man down more than having a wife.

    I love to travel, but haven't gotten to in a looooong time because of children, pets, and lack of money. Someday there are a lot of places I'd love to visit. I had the opportunity to spend two years in Japan several years ago, and just experiencing such a different culture than I was used to was fascinating. I want to go re-vist there someday as well.

    I love to travel. I haven't been much of anywhere though! If I ever become a millionaire, then I'm going to travel the world. We don't have the extra gas money to travel right now though!

    Without gas, you can still travel. On foot. I am sure your dogs would like that. How about backpacking through the woods during the weekends with your dogs?

    That’s the good thing with living in the countryside. You could walk your way to the river or ponds, swim or fish there, hike or camp on forest, hills or mountains. All the freshest fruits and vegetables and milk will be available to you and so do the juicy poultry eggs and animals. And there’s the vast grassland for you to rest and play tag or fetch with your dog. You could hunt, shoot birds for exotic meal, climb trees and grab sweet ripe fruit in your leisure time. The environment there is also one of the best places that’ll inspire you to think and write. There are a lot of great things to do in the province. Being in the city, I still have to travel for hours just to experience those things. And yes, it’s quite expensive but not if you save for planned explorations.

    Actually it's one of my dreams to go backpacking with my dog. However I will have to do it in another country. Where I live now, the general atmosphere is very anti-dog.

    I am sure that it's a misunderstanding but the general impression that the Malays, who are in the majority here, have of dogs is that dogs should be shot on sight. Or stoned, at the very least. Sad but true.

    Well, so they can’t enjoy the wonderful company of dogs, too. So, like, how do they see these dogs, some kind of an evil force or something? What's their reason to shoot or stone them?

    Ugh, that's awful! Do they do that to pets if they see them or is that how they treat strays that are out in the streets?

    They just hate dogs. All kinds. Big ones. Small ones. Fierce ones. Cuddly ones. Pets or strays are all the same to them. Maybe it has something to do with how they feel about the Chinese in Malaysia because, generally, the Chinese here keep dogs. Not for eating. Just as pets and watch dogs. Also for hunting wild boar.
