I often travel by plane but usually on inside flights. I studying at university in not my hometown. And I have to travel by plane because there is too large distance away from my current city to hometown. I would like visit plenty of countries. These are mostly europeans countries like Italy, France, Spain, UK and others. However also I want to travel to North America and Asian countries especially Japan and South Korea.

I have traveled to Hue and Phu Quoc Island by plane two times in 2023. Next year, if I had a Visa 500 of Australia, I would like to visit Adelaide city. Because my young brother is studying and living here that is the reason I want to come to this city, and I am really fond of studying abroad in this city too.

I travel too often by plane. I travel mostly within my country for vacations and work. I haven't gotten a chance to travel to a different country yet if I want to visit the country then definitely the US would be the first because I want to visit Los Angeles.
