I love seeing other places with different cultures and the sheer escapism from any worries at home is unbeatable.

My life would not be much if I didn't have stories and to create stories you must first create memories. I travel because life is for living and experiencing, I will encourage my child and grandchild to do the same

There are several reasons why my wife and I love to travel. The first one being to challenge ourselves. It is so easy to get stuck in a rut so we yearn for a bit of excitement and something a bit different to push us out of our comfort zone, travelling to other countries allows us to find out how resourceful we are in new environments. We like to experience something unfamiliar and leave there with more knowledge of the place than when we arrived there. Travelling opens the mind , meeting people from other countries shows us that the view of the world is completely different to other people. Being stuck in the same routine day after day makes us lose sight of what we have, when we return home from a holiday or a city break back to "real life" it makes us feel like there is no place like home.. We have shared many experiences with other people and travelling certainly brings people together, whether it be a romantic trip away or a trip with the lads it helps strengthen the bond you have even more. The final reason for us is to just simply escape the stresses of life, jobs, money worries etc. Its a time where we both can relax and disconnect from phones, emails and just spend some quality time together.

To seek out new adventures, exlore new places, taste different cusines, peoples cultures & make forever memorys!

WE travel so that the children can get to experince the culture of other places and of course to have a well deserved break x

I travel for new sights to see and photograph. I’ve been enjoying photography for nearly 40 years and hope the pleasure of capturing different scenes will never diminish.

To see the world whilst I can.

Onset of glaucoma and poor mobility have made me realise it is imperative to travel whilst I am still able.

We've always travelled. Why? Because it's fun, it's exciting and it opens up your eyes to the wonders of the world.

I love to travel to meet new folk,
To chat and laugh and share a joke,
To see new places, explore our world,
To see the mysteries of life unfurled.

because of new friends

I like the spirit of travelling

We just love to get away to experience new cultures and make new friends .

I like to travel to get away from everything and relax and enjoy meeting different people, experiencing different cuisine.

It is so enjoyable experiencing different cultures and particularly visiting Italy where the pizzas are best in the world!

I haven't travelled enough but I would love to see lots of places and enjoy other cultures

I love learning, and travel is one of the most challenging, rewarding and immersive experiences we can have.
Different cultures, hearing different languages and music, the sights and smells of somewhere completely new. And the FOOD of course! I've been introduced to some wonderful dishes and flavour combinations that I now incorporate into my home cooking, which has not only made me a much more adventurous chef but it's helped me to really enjoy cooking.
Travel really does broaden the mind. I'd be a full time globetrotter if only I could afford it!

I travel infrequently due to finances, but when I do I love to explore the history, see things I wouldn't usually see, try food I wouldn't usually eat and meet different people. I see photos of places that inspired me to go, I generally base my next travel plans on a place in a photo.

to explore the world

I travel because I want to experience new things.

I like to travel to experience all things new - places, people, food, culture etc.

i travel because i love learning more about peoples customs and cultures x

I travel because I love the experience of learning about different cultures, but also realising that we have more in common than what divides us as human beings. Travel broadens the mind.

We travel to learn different cultures now we are retired we don't have work pressures so take time to learn new things as often as possible. We always buy something small to hang on our Christmas tree so every year we relive lots of memories.

I just love the excitement of seeing different places, hearing different languages, tasting different food and meeting a lot of different people.

Now we are retired, we travel because we can and it's great to up and spread our wings, visiting new places, but as our family is far flung we travel to visit them.

I'd love to travel to see something of the world while I still can having spent the last 30+ years raising my 4 sons with the last of them due to move out soon
