I don't usually travel by plane, I would like to do it more often. I wish to travel once every year. I would like to know Asia and Australia. Some countries from Europe and America. I love to travel and know new places!!

I didn't travel any country with plane. I would like visit to Germany, Turkey, USA, Russian. I really would like to see these countries.

I never traveled by plane to other countries. But I traveled to Iran and Turkey by bus. I want to travel to USA , Netherland , Germany and other European countries.

I don´t usually travel by plane very much. The last time I travel by plane was in August. My brother lives in Mallorca, and I visited him for 1 week. Regarding other question, I would like to visit Costa Rica, Turkey, Moscu ... there are lots of countries than I have never visited.

I have never flown so I don't know how it's but I'd like travel all the world and live in the USA

I didn't travel by plane till now. But I will try to travel all over the world. IF I have a chance, I want to go Switzerland and Japan because there have many beautiful places and I want to learn their culture. After that another place is Maldives. This island is very beautiful and pleasure. If you have time, you should visit my native country Myanmar. My country has many interesting places and beautiful culture. And then Myanmar people are very kind and helpful. I am sure that you love my country. So, welcome to my country.

no i don't travel a lot , i would like to go to korea or japan

My last travel by plane took place about a year ago, before that, I used to travel at least twice a year. If I had time and money, I'd visit England and Canada.

i like visit Italy, France, Russia, USA and Egypt and Grace.
