I mean what does travel the world really mean? Does it mean being on every continent or does it just mean leaving your country of residency and going to x number of different countries in your lifetime? I'm lucky enough to have been to quite a few different countries but my interests in world geography are limited to Europe and Eurasia. I've been to Orlando, Florida when I was a child with my family but I've no real ambition to go to the USA or the rest of the American continents. I don't want to go to Australia or New Zealand or Saharan Africa or the Maldives etc...

yea, i understand what you mean. We all have our own personal interests.

When i hear "travel the world" to me it means someone who wants to go to as many places as possible, and see as much as possible. That's definitely not me. I think everyone has their own passions and interests, and for some people they just want to see EVERYTHING. My interests are definitely much more focused, i don't need to see everything.

I can appreciate other people's desire to travel, but i don't share it.

That being said... I have no desire to do what he did, but i do find this video very inspiring...

Yeah I mean I don't want to go to every country in the world, to me it's the same mentality behind needing to collect every Pokemon card or something. It's obsessive. I have specific interests and while I love travelling, I want to travel to the places I want to see. I lived in Germany for a year and I didn't even get to see half of what I wanted to, and I did a LOT of travelling. I'd rather spend money on going to Germany multiple times to cover everything I want to see than spend money on going to every single country in the world just to say that I've been.

I love the pokemon analogy, that's the perfect way to describe it.

Haha, it's what I always think whenever people talk about wanting to see the world... because unless it's a small nation, you can't even go to any one country and say you've experienced all it has to offer... like you wouldn't go to New York City and say that you've "seen America", because it's such a diverse place.

Travelling Europe early next year.

I really want to visit Alaska too after watching Into the Wild and places like Brazil, Jamaica, and other parts of the US, but that won't be anytime soon.

Which one? There are a lot of island countries... Caribbean islands? Somewhere like Cyprus or Malta? The Seychelles? The Maldives? The Philippines? Fiji?

[Me. I Am Salman]

Probably somewhere closer like Cyprus

Not too bothered about going around the world but would love to do some road trips around a few countries that I love.

the key to a good road trip is a good friend, do you have a good friend to do it with?
