🌎👣Travelling is my drug👣🌏

[Anonymous]

I recently decided to take a short trip, clear my mind for a bit and just chill somewhere else 😛 and EVERY SINGLE TIME I’m away I fall more and more in love with travelling ❤ it just never gets old and I don’t think I will ever get enough of it. I made a short list of the things I personally enjoy about it and I’ll share it with y’all.

1. The amazing people you meet on the way

It's insane how you get to meet people from so many different countries, with cool stories to tell. I just love how you can get to make so many good friends!

Some of them can be way too nice lol like; there was this time two girls I shared the dorm with left a small gift with a note for me before leaving and that was too sweet!

2. The accommodation experiences 😛

I usually stay at hostels and gotta love it xD its funny to remember all the things that come with it...Like it's so hard to cook decent food when there’s a bunch of people trying to cook at the same time 😂 ohhhh and the roomates, that’s always interesting...You never know how they’ll be like lol. From people that give you gifts, to those that like to make their bags at 5 am, to those that have sex in the room -.- but oh well, what can you do? Haha 😛

Oh gosh..THIS^^^^

3. Culture!

Oh I love this! I love how diverse humans are. Going to a different country opens your mind so much and it makes u go out of the bubble

4. Views & Wildlife

I'm a big fan of this! What mainly draws my attention to different places is natural beauty. Wildlife and views can vary so much and its great. It's so exciting to see all the cool native animals.

Like, when I came to Australia I was so excited when I saw my first kangaroo and first Tasmanian devil and don’t let me start with the big crocs omg, I can't explain how amazing it felt xD

5. Travelling has the power to clear your mind

It transports you to a different world! I don’t know about you but I just feel so great and so disconnected from many things. I kinda forget about everything and focus on having a great time. I just love disapperaring sometimes ❤

6. Getting lost! lol

I love how you can see so much more when this happens haha

In one of my recent trips my internet stopped working, so bye bye google maps lol I was with some friends in this little town, lost at 1 am in the morning, it was.. Interesting and scary xD in the latest one I had, same thing happened, so I ended up going to some really cool and random streets, loved it haha.

Travelling comes with many unforgettable experiences and adventures, it’s wonderful 😍
Those are a few things I enjoy about travelling, feel free to add what YOU love and share some of your experiences, I'd love to read those 😛

And yeah, that's it. Thanks for reading✌️

I have been all over the world. I am almost tired of traveling... almost. Major sites are must do's but they are crowded and not what they once were perhaps. I have learned that what I like best is natural beauty such as mountains etc. Enjoy the local foods as that is a good way to get in touch with the local culture. Try the street food if it is considered somewhat safe (it will never be 100% safe but what is). I would also advise looking for the best travel deals and go there as you will always find a great deal and there shoukd be like hings worthwhile seeing and doing. If you are in the IS, there is so much to see such as Alaska on a cruise, the Grand Canyon was a huge positive surprse for me, sunrises in Florida, driving on PCH, hiking in the Smoky Mountains, so much to do. Also, cruses are a great way to see the world as they are cheap and you don't waste travel time at airports and on busses, checking in and out of hotels etc. I don' t pay a premium for cruise lines and I recommend getting an inside cheap cabin except for Alaska where a balcony is well worth it. Travel the Med, the Baltic and the Carribean. Rome/Italy are my favorite, I love the Swiss Alps and the Rocky Mountains, China is great to see. Bahamas I would pass on, be careful in poor countries, Paris is nice but overrated, Berlin and Helsinki are pretty boring, Florence isn't what it used to be and just don't to a far away place just to go lay on a beach as you can do that anywhere. Check out what is in a three hour drive of you for long weekend trips. Well, time to head out on a 10 hour drive to go have fun for the week. Woot.

[Jersey2]

If you are in the US, not IS. Also, go with best travel deals as there is always something cheap and good and that will get you well traveled quick and cheap.

[myTake Owner]

Yesss I agree with what u said! And omg Im so jealous ️hahah u've been everywhere! 😱 Im taking notes here! Haha thanks for those suggestions. roadtrips in the US is on the bucket list haha I've actually been there with my family a few times, but just Florida hah, but I can't wait to go back, see much more and have some adventures there! Oh mannn so much to see! Haha

[Jersey2]

Thanks. Next time you are in Florida, go to Crystal River in February and swim in pure spring water with hundreds of manatees! It is the only pkace in Florida where it is allowed and it is not well known outside of Florida although I did read a post from a UK vistor just last month that he made the trip just for this purpose.

[myTake Owner]

😱😱😱I've never heard about that place haha I am so doing it next time 😛

[FOOLibra]

Great mytake as always!! 😊 I totally love travelling and I have so many plans at the moment haha! There are so many places to explore and spending money on that is totally worth it. You can gain so much experience from it. By the way are you mostly a solo traveller or do you travel with friends?

The problem is that my parents wouldn't want me to travel alone in foreign countries/cities. They'd probably be okay with it if I took some friends with me but most of my friends aren't REAL travellers, they think they've seen the whole world once they've been in cities like London, Rome, Paris, Amsterdam and NY. And problem #2 is that I'm more of a low budget traveller, I'd rather visit 3 different cities with the money I have instead of only one city where I spend all my money on a fancy hotel. I want to explore the city and NOT stay 24/7 in a nice hotel as I'm heading back and forth from the room to the pool. 😁

[myTake Owner]

thanks! :) I knoow so many awesome places, if only it was free lol
I've done both, but haven't been by myself for too long, the longest was around 3 weeks but I loved it and would totally do it again, so yeah, I've travelled more with friends :)
oh yeah, thats always a problem haha. I think its good to start with friends, around ur country.
I was 18 the first time I went by myself, but I did it in my home country, I decided to volunteer in a wildlife sanctuary and then explore little towns around. I think volunteering is a great way to start travelling by yourself, coz like.. u get to experience what is like to be alone, whats like to meet people from different countries and u get to have interaction with them on a daily basis and when u finish u can explore the place u are in :)
low budget traveller here too haha xD. Yeah, honestly hotels are not worth it lol u only need a bed and a toilet when u travel :P so backpackers hostels is where is at :P plus, its SO much fun

[FOOLibra]

You are welcome :)
I know right? My life would be so much more interesting haha and I'd never get bored.
Ah, I see! That's a good idea to get started and not jump in at the deep end.
Thanks for the information, that really sounds like a lot of fun 😍 So exciting.

[oldanddecrepid]

Travelling is fun, and is good at your age. Later on it becomes a huge expense and a lot of money down the tubes for some memories and photographs.

I have seen it before and actually as an employer I have had a number of people come through in around the 20 yr mark asking for a job. It has gotten to the point where I actually look past them now as their travelling ways got in the way of their career objectives.

So balance is important when it comes to travelling. It takes more than minimum wage to travel due to the cost, however, employers are not impressed by someone who works for 6 months and then leaves to travel the world.

Not saying travelling is a bad thing, just shedding some light on how travelling in excess can have negative connotations.

[myTake Owner]

yeah, I guess everything in excess can be negative hah
Curiosity! What if u work while travelling? U know.. when u get the working holiday visas

[oldanddecrepid]

That would definitely allow you to travel. I know a few people though that travel for work to the US and Mexico from Canada and they told me it was fun for about the first two years. After that it just becomes a burden on their life, because they want to stay home with their SO and kids.

[myTake Owner]

Yeah, sounds like fun but not for too long hah. Would love to try at some point

[GinFab]

Really nice post. I totally agree. Travelling gives so many advantages. New people, new impressions. I have been saving money for 2 years for Europe trip. Especially, I want to see Italy. It's such a romantic country. I want to walk on one of Venice bridges, I watched a lot of couples on Rialto Bridge. I also want to take a gondola ride.

[myTake Owner]

thank u :) how cool is that! Europe seems like an amazing place, haven't been there yet, but its definitely on the list! are u going this year? oh those pictures look beautiful! thanks for sharing :) the abbey road! haha i would love to walk there :P and yes! going to Italy with ur partner would be lovely, exploring and eating pizza together, GOALS! lol

[GinFab]

yes I am thinking about Transilvania -capital of vampires, who knows maybe I'll meet one :D

[Jxpxtxr]

Who doesn't love traveling?

I'm currently doing a gap year and basically live on an airplane at the moment, I think I've travelled to a crazy lot of different places for someone my age and yet there's still soooo many more places that I wanna see and once I've seen those I wanna go back to my favourites, I think this will probably keep me busy till the day I die 💜

[myTake Owner]

Ikr? its impossible not to! The world is so beautiful, I don't think u ever get enough of having new experiences 😍
Oh wow! Thats great! Any favourites atm?😛

[Jxpxtxr]

I really loved Melbourne, Australia the most but Bardolino on the lake Garda in Italy is very beautiful as well - very calm place and great wine - & Tokyo, Japan is a place where everyone should have visited at least once in their life. I think it really depends on what you like more personally though, I'm more of a city person so I tend to like busy places a lot.

[Azara]

how do you fund living on an airplane?

[myTake Owner]

oh I agree, Melbourne is great, I love how artistic it! Tokyo is def a place I wanna visit, Im actually planning to go to Asia by the end of the year if I get enough money, but was thinking more like Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, see how it goes :P I'm more of a nature person hahaha. But yeah, you've been to awesome places! :D

[Jxpxtxr]

@Azara I have some money left from model jobs + my parents gave me a lot of money to "buy a car" after I graduated but I decided to use it for a gap year and traveling around instead. I can always buy a car later when I'm working.

[Jxpxtxr]

Aww Thailand and Indonesia are definitely also still on my list! :)

[zorro8888]

I love this! Great take :D
The only thing about travelling is wanting to go everywhere haha... like I was planning a trip to Netherlands then you got me all interested in Bolivia haha. Have you ever considered making youtube videos during your travels? I could see a lot of people watching that!

[myTake Owner]

Thanks! :)
Oh yeah I feel u, but hey! the larger the list, the better, so u are welcome ️hahaha xD
Hah, I don't think that'd be my thing lol I'd have like one view😂😂 plus, I can barely use my phone ahaha u know... technology is not exactly a good friend of mine hahah. U should make one when u go to bolivia and u are in the middle of the death road lol that'd make a good one 😛

[zorro8888]

Only you would see that as a good thing haha... Me, I just see a long list that will take years to finish :D Well it is your own experience so I think people expect that one view :P
Oh man you're bad with technology... how do you survive haha! I pull out my camera and start talking to myself as a vlog and I'll just hear people call me a gringo and tourist ;P

[myTake Owner]

A list that would be worth to complete while u are alive 😛
Pff who needs technology? Haha I know enough 😎
Oooo I wanna see that video mr gringo haha u better send me that, I wanna have a good laugh xD

[zorro8888]

Ugh fine... but I'd have to tag along with you somewhere, what's the point of seeing the world if I can't meet the girl who's going to get me in trouble haha :P
And by "I know enough" you mean you know how to buy plane tickets, point a camera and make phone calls xD

Haha Oh definitely not, wouldn't want you laughing at my pain for so long xD Half of the video would be people screaming calling me gringo and me crying lol!

[myTake Owner]

U tell me where we're meeting 😛 haha
Oh please, u are underestimating my knowledge, I know how to put music in my iPod😎 and not just music, but awesome music 👌
Hahahah see, thats something that is worth watching xD

[zorro8888]

Meet me in New Zealand... I'll be that one black guy in the country... you'll know when you see it! :D
Right..."awesome music" says the girl who probably has Bieber and One Direction songs on her iPod!!

This is half of the video right here! you'd probably join the crowd and start calling me that too xD
mashable.com/.../crying-waterfalls.gif

[myTake Owner]

Sounds good lol we'll start by skydiving and then bungee jumping, wohoooo!
I knew the guy that knows the high school musical songs would like my playlist! 😂
LOL! I found that gif so creepy ahaha xD

[zorro8888]

Oh yes... sounds amazing you start with skydiving and bungee jumping... I'll try this thing called sleeping and eating! We're going to have so much fun!! xD
I was a young kid back then... I practically had to watch it! But I learned the true meaning of good music now ;P

So if you think that gif is creepy... I guess I can cancel my video filming since that's all it would compose of xD

[myTake Owner]

Ha!! Good luck with trying to actually do that while having me as a travel buddy lol we are gonna have a good time hahaha
And u liked them 😜 So now u mean Taylor swift and miley cyrus?💁 we have so much in common Omg 🙆🙆 ️Hahahaha
Creepy is good sometimes hahaha

[zorro8888]

Unless you're jumping on my bed when I'm sleeping I don't think you'd get me to do anything!! So just relax and let's just watch a movie xD
I liked them when I was 12... Oh my gosh T. SWIFT AND CYRUS!! MY FAVES... nahh lol I need to share my playlist with you :P

Oh good cause I'm the creepiest! Lol I bet that doesn't sound good at anymore :D

[myTake Owner]

Movie 😂😂 just LOL xD
Oh I knew it 💁 ahaha man... If pink floyd, bon Jovi, bryan Adams, def leppard and bands like that are in ur playlist I might give it a chance 😛
Ahahaha alright then let's creep people out xD

[zorro8888]

Did you just "LOL" to my movie idea? Alright it's decided... I'm making you stay there for 2-3 hours so we can watch a movie! I'll sit on you if I have too xD
Ummm... literally not a single one of these people are on my playlist haha... I'll look into some of them since they don't suck :D

I don't want to creep people out... they'll think I'm weird! I'm only creeping you out! ;P

[myTake Owner]

nah, we're Bungee jumping 👊I'll be the one pushing by the time u jump haha
😱😱 woooooot we have to work on your playlist then! Haha what do u have there? 😛 im starting to get a bit worried lol
Oh so I get the privilege, huh? 😛

[zorro8888]

You can push me off the bed... as we're watching a movie... I mean a 2-foot drop is just as scary as a 300 foot one at least I won't die :D
Pshh.. I just need to add a few more but it's pretty awesome! To give you a taste of it all, the last song added was "7 years" you got to listen to it and tell me how great of a choice it was! :P

Oh you should feel honored! I don't just let anyone see my creepy side haha

[myTake Owner]

Alright, alright I'll do both xD
well if u tell me who sings it I could listen to it hahhah

[zorro8888]

Well I guess it's somewhat a win if I got you to watch the movie too lol... unfortunately we're still bungee jumping :P
Sheesh I got to do everything for you lol it's by Lukas Graham

[myTake Owner]

Unfortunately? Pfff please u are gonna thank me afterwards xD
Hahah now is all good 😛 I'll listen to it!

[takumii]

Travelling is great but it's a pain in the ass too.
Born on a fucking ship, and brought up in 4 different countries (dad's job) you are almost guaranteed to never have deep friendship that sticks around, not to mention the change in school course would make your life a living shot hole, people bullying you because you are new.

[myTake Owner]

Ohh sorry to hear that.. I imagine it was tough for u, but hey, it made u stronger and who u are today, good news is past stays in the past, just make sure u enjoy the present :)

[takumii]

I live on my own now , so Much happy :3

[takumii]

Thank you archiz' sis

[springocelot]

had a similar childhood. moved around so much, that i viewed people outside my family as disposable. glad you're happier now.

[takumii]

@springocelot who said anything about being happy now :p

[SunDevil11]

I also have an abundant amount of wanderlust in me. I love traveling, camping, hiking, backpacking, and all of that because the experiences are truly unlike anything else. They teach so many lessons and give breathtaking views

[myTake Owner]

yess I love all those things too! anything related to the outdoors is great. The world has so much to offer, like being in the middle of nowhere with a full moon being ur only light... PERFECTION! i love nature haha
do u get to travel much?

[SunDevil11]

I have traveled quite a bit, but have not gotten to do much recently because of college and work, but I still love doing it!! Nature is the best

[springocelot]

i used to travel a lot when i was really young
all it did was make me want to stay in one place

now i feel like traveling again, before the life i live is not for me anymore

[myTake Owner]

Is never late to travel :)

[Spiorad_Aisce]

I love travelling too but it might be my age so I would probably skip 2 and stay in a decent hotel or B&B for comfort with mod cons. The rest definitely holds a lot of appeal for me.

[myTake Owner]

️Haha fair enough 😛
Thanks for reading!

[chintita]

i agree, i love traveling. a good dose of someone else's culture is so satisfying and mind opening. especially places you don't know much about, going to ethiopia next summer can't wait

[myTake Owner]

Yeah, is so great haha

That's awesomeeeeee so jealous haha, you'll have heaps of fun :D

[Hollywood-Glam]

I love traveling! One of my best memories are from me traveling to another country. Going to France and Turkey are unforgettable experiences to me.
Spring 2003 and summer 2013 will always be remembered.

[myTake Owner]

is amazing, isn't it?
ohh so nice! I'd love to visit Europe! Glad u enjoyed ur time there :D would u be able to choose a favourite? :P

[Hollywood-Glam]

Hmm... I'll have to choose Turkey. When I went there it was my first time on a cruise ship, and I really loved it, especially at night during the fancy dinner and spectacle. I saw stunning monuments, and my absolute favorite place I visited in Turkey is Prince Islands. It's such a beautiful cheerful place where there are many coach rides and a lot of souvenirs. In Turkey there were things I don't get to see or experience everyday. Whereas in France it was a little more ordinary. Back in the day when I went to Paris my country didn't have modern shopping malls, I really enjoyed going to malls. Yes, I'm a fashionista since day one, lol. I was amazed about how clean the environment is compared to my country. Last but definitely not least I loved going Disneyland. I've went to amusement parks during my childhood but they were nothing like DisneyLand. Even France was great , it wasn't as good as Turkey. Sorry, I rambled too much!

[myTake Owner]

Oh cruises are sooo good.
Sounds awesome! Disneyland and Europe sounds like the perfect combination haha

Lol shopping malls were always like some sort of fantasy for me too😂we didn't have any in my country until like 3 years ago lol

[TripleAce]

Oh you're one those that feels the need to boast about travelling. Travelling is like a drug for almost everyone. Who doesn't like travelling.

[myTake Owner]

I know, I am just sharing what I love about it✌️
Thanks for reading

[abundantlyrich]

hmm I'm not big for meeting people in general. The diseases, they pass around.. herpes and scabies esp in crowded hot humid weather countries.

[myTake Owner]

Haha is so good! I actually never think about that xD but everyone has their preferences hah, do u like travelling tho?

[abundantlyrich]

Yes mainly to see the seven wonders of tge world

[Doffydood]

"I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. EVERYBODY LOVES TO FUCKING TRAVEL."
~Filthy Frank

Still, nice Take :)

[myTake Owner]

That's very true 😛
Thanks :)

[orphan]

traveling has one L. i usually don't grammar hammer but seeing the same misspelling more than once tells me it's time to learn the correct spelling =)

great take though.

[myTake Owner]

I've lived in a life my whole life lol I always thought it was with a double L 😛English failing I guess then haha
Thanks :)

[TheLuckyOne1]

Travelling is also correct.

"Traveling" is just American spelling, British spelling is with double L, just like canceling/cancelling and all other verbs that end with "el".

[TheLuckyOne1]

yeah, travelling seems awesome, even though I haven't travelled to many countries unfortunately. Nice take.

[NedfromtheNed]

There are two people on this planet. Those who are tour guides and those who are tourists.

[SunnyCaliGirl]

I love this take and I totally can relate to it

Thank you for such a great mytake

[myTake Owner]

Happy to hear that!
Thank you for reading :) Glad u enjoyed it

[SunnyCaliGirl]

I did and your very welcome

[MasterofPlebs]

I also like traveling. But I like learning and experiencing more than just traveling.

[myTake Owner]

Yeah, I agree 100% that's why I love it so much too :) u learn and experience things u never even thought about

[MasterofPlebs]

I like reading, learning languages, meeting interesting people, learning about history and geography along with traveling.

[myTake Owner]

Those are always good things! But I must say i suck at learning languages ahaha
Have u visited many countries?

[MasterofPlebs]

Six countries. Sucks, I know. I am not worldly enough, but I am constrained by money and parents.

[myTake Owner]

Still great man! Where did u go?

[MasterofPlebs]

Mexico, Haiti, Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, other areas in the Caribbean.

[myTake Owner]

Awesome, the Caribbean is beautiful! I've been to mexico, haiti and Jamaica too haha

[MasterofPlebs]

Yeah, the ocean there is beautiful. I'd love to live there. :)

[OrdinaryGentleman]

I can attest, its fucking awesome.

[myTake Owner]
