I don’t travel by plane very often — maybe once every few years. I live in Europe, so I would like to travel to another continent, such as Asia, Australia, or the United States. I think travelling — not necessarily by plane — is important for our personal development and for learning about different cultures and countries. It also gives us a chance to take a break from work, household duties, and everyday worries.
