I travel very little and when I do I go to visit my parents, I would like to travel all over the world and get to know many places like the pyramids of Egypt and the Chinese Wall.

I've never flown in a plane. Because, I didn't have the opportunity. But, I would like to visit Poland. I love the culture and the past history of Poland.

Absolutely I like travel to many countries. I would like to go Turkey, France Italy and other many countries. I have never travelled by plane but I planning to travel many countries like above.

I haven't ever traveled by plane at the time I'm writing this. Yet I keep the dream of going to Japan for its blowing-up, exotic culture, and live in Canada o Alaska.

I used to travel twice a year, but now I can't travel. I really like to know Australia
