For me, the different cultures and ways of living are so interesting to be able to immerse one's self in, if only a little and for a short amount of time. Meeting new people also takes a trip to a different level. And of course I love trying new food :)

Simple reason: a different view. A different view about cultures, human behaviour and many things you will discover when you travel. You will come to realise that some things you have never really paid attention to matter very much in other places and to other people. It's simply amazing to travel.

I love to look at all the scenery, take pictures of everything and the best part is spending time with the family.

Meeting new people, experiencing a new culture, and trying new food. Those are my top three for sure. Beautiful scenery is great too, but my interests in travel are definitely centered around people.

I love visiting new places because it gives me a chance to view different vegetations, physical features, cultural practices and even to taste other communities special types of food.

What I love about traveling is experiencing a new place. Having a change in environment really refreshes you and makes you appreciate where you come from more. Or it makes you wonder what all you have been missing.

I love to see the different cultures and how people interact with each other and their environment.
I love seeing and experiencing things, animals, foods and landscapes that I have never encountered.
Traveling gives you a better perspective on your life and what makes you happy.

Traveling is glorious. Places that you know only from books and pictures come alive. Walking a foreign land (where you are the foreigner!) amidst people speaking a different language is fun (until you get lost and nobody can give you sensible directions). Spending unfamiliar money (and cracking your head over currency conversion) is a challenge. And sampling the local cuisine is a treat (or a threat, sometimes!).

Traveling is fulfilling dreams.

The best thing about travelling is that you leave home behind for a while. All the worries and all the problems fade away. My friend and I went on a road trip for a week, and it was the most awesome time I have had in my life. The roads we took, the places we went, the change of scenery and peace. Peace most of all.
