I love travel to experience new cultures, and to escape from my every day life.

I just love trying out my scant knowledge of Italian , German and French and getting to know the local people .

To get away from the everyday life in a busy city, to go to remote places with glorious countryside and wildlife.

Meeting new people with different ways of life to us, trying new cultures. We've adopted lots from our travels, from food to interiors to habits. We can learn so much when we get off the island!

I haven't travelled abroad for a few years. When I travel in the UK it is either to visit family or to relax on holiday.

I just love looking at new places and talking to people who live there; learning about their way of life and the history of the area. I especially like it when the people I am talking with want to know about how things are done in the UK so it is a real cultural exchange of knowledge. A place doesn't have to be especially beautiful to make it interesting, its the people who do that.

Simple really. Life is too short not to grab every moment.

Travelling is so enjoyable, to see both the good, and the less fortunate in their own surroundings. To experience wonderful sights, sounds and aromas is a privilege best shared with a loved one to recall memories for years to come.

I travel to see new places and meet new people, and well a change of scenery is so grounding for appreciating everyone around me and my own scenery.

Travel is education, it's experiences, memories, and it grows you as a person. It's also usually really good fun and I'd always rather have a memory full of stories to recount to my loved ones than drawers full of valuables.

To eat amazing food, drink lovely wine, and see everything I can.

To try different foods, experience different cultures, to see something of natural beauty or historical significance.

Its nice to see other cultures and different scenery. Getting to see how others live and how different it is to your own life is a real experience.

To have and enjoyable break with friends. Visiting different places especially zoos and wildlife parks

excitement, fun, and a change of scenery, but mainly lots of memories

Mainly to escape. Get away from the daily 9-5 grind and the stresses of every day life and just have some peace for a while

To relax and to experience different cultures

to have a break from normal life, and relax, have fun and spend time with family where you don't have to worry about house work etc and to make memories.

I thought it was to escape everyday life and relax. Or at least that was always the theory. The problem is I come back from each holiday more tired than before I went. I guess we always try to cram too much in while away!

To experience sights and sounds not seen in my living room

i travel to learn

they say it's to get from A to B. I travel because there is
another 24 letters to the destination.
then do it all again.

We’ve always travelled. Often in the U.K., sometimes not. There is beauty everywhere, architecture, nature, people. There is much to be interested in, places that bring peace or encourage activity. Cultures to understand, people to listen to and share experiences with. Travelling can be near or far, there is always something to learn and enjoy. Why do we do it now? Simply because we can and yes, while we can.

I travel to broaden my horizons, literally and figuratively. I'm fascinated by people, language, different cultures, how people organise themselves in society and I never tire of watching the world go by in a new place.
