Greetings everyone,
Having just returned from a trip, I have the topic of traveling on my mind. I have had the privilege and opportunity to travel to many interesting places to do many interesting and fun things. I have had the ability to travel to eleven different states, all of which held many new experiences from crazy rollercoasters, historical tours lead by some interesting people, and eating very unique cuisine thus learning that curry is not for me, to having my Floridan sand checked at the airline security because it looked like crack in my fiji water bottle. Having gone to these places and experiencing these new things; I have gained a greater knowledge about different people, the things and places I enjoy, and finally a deep desire to continue to explore the world we live in. So what I am asking from you all is to share a place that you have or would like to travel. Why was it a special experience or why do you think it would be and who would you bring along on your adventure? For me I would love to travel to Ireland. This is not just because it looks pretty and has cool castles it also holds familial value to me. Many of my ancestors traveled to the States from Ireland and the respect and admiration I have for my family makes me want to see their home. I want to go visit where my ancestors came from. I want to connect more in depth with my family’s roots. I would love to take my siblings and parents but most importantly my grandmother. She is the one who has found most of what I know about our ancestors and their home and I would love for her to see it. So yeah, Where have you been? Where would you like to go? And which dear people in your life would you bring along?

I would be interested in travelling to Europe I uncertain countries such as Greece, Italy, and France. This is because I would be overwhelmed by the glory of seeing works such as Michelangelo's David, Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss, Sagrada Família, Fallen Angel by Alexander Cabanel, and the Sistine Chapel. I am passionate about the humanities, so I love to draw connections between the works themselves and the political or social implications of their time period. Seeing great landmarks and masterpieces is awe-inspiring and causes inspiration for my own creative endeavors. I would bring along my significant other for the romantic experience, along with a hilarious group of friends for bonding and comedic enjoyment.

Of course! Thank you as well. There are many wonderful sights to see that correlate with history and human emotion in Europe. The humanities represents universal desires and belonging for billions of people over time. It's quite interesting and would be lovely to experience and bond with other people.

I also want to go to Greece and Italy! Venice would be a great spot to go with a significant other because of all the romantic attractions, histories, stories such as Romeo and Juliet. Rome would also be cool because of the Love Lock Bridge that is there.

This is such an amazing topic and I love the deep value it holds to you! There are so many places I would love to see but the one that has held the longest importance to me would be Paris. I have had the dream of exploring the art, food, and of course the architectures. I have long wished to see the Eiffel Tower and see the world from the top of it. I would love to bring my mom who has encouraged this dream. I hoped to make it for my 16th birthday but unfortunately didn't make it. One day I will one day sit at the top of the tower with my mom and finally live out the dream I had since I was six. Maybe afterward her and I could pop on down to Greece for a few days. Until then it will always hold my heart.

Greece is such an amazing place to go!! I’m sure the culture and the food would be spectacular! I know for sure that I would have to grab so many souvenirs. I do think I would be just a little scared to travel to Paris, just because I’ve heard of some sketchy things that happen there.

There are so many places I want to go, so I will list a few of them and just bear with me. First of all, I would love to go to Greece and vacation near the beach. I love greek food and it is such a beautiful country, but I also love the history and mythology from there. I would also go see the spot where Mama Mia was filmed. I would also love to go to Italy, specifically Rome or Venice, because of the food, historical sites, and also Italians have the best accents! I also really want to go to Iceland during Christmas time and stay in a lodge. I've heard that going there in December is really cool because of all the lights and festivals. If I could go to any of these places I would bring Raelynn and Ellie with me.

I am with you there are so many places that I would want to travel to! But I think it is so cool that you like seeing the lights during the holidays. That is one of my favorite parts about Christmas. Being able to drive around and see all lights is so amazing!

That would be so fun! I have wanted to go island hopping in Greece to explore all the culture and traditions for a while now. From the beautiful scenery to the robust food culture Greece has a lot to offer for foreigners.

I also adore learning about Greek mythology! There are so many captivating tales from that region. The Greeks were some of the pioneers for addressing the importance of the individual in their art, which explains many of the themes presented in their works. These include love, romance, quests, and achievements.

There are many places that I would love to travel to but the main place I would love to go is South Sudan. South Sudan is one of the poorest countries in the world. So why would I want to go here? Well the reason for this is because I would love to see how they live. I feel that in America we have a lot of money and we get stuff handed to us. I want to see how they live and what they do to get through the hard times. I also want to go to Paris for the many different types of food. If I got the opportunity to travel to these places I would take my sister and my mom.

You know, I admire your want to go and learn and empathize when you travel. I feel selfish talking about all the beaches I want to go to, instead of learning about other people and being able to possibly help.

I think that the top place I want to go is Iceland. There are so many extraordinary things that are there, from gigantic waterfalls, to glaciers, and natural hot springs. You can go see the whole country in just a week, driving a loop of sightseeing and exploring hiking trails to the more excluded parts of Iceland. I would also go there to see the wildlife and go whale watching in the ocean. My family and I are planning to go on a family trip to Iceland after graduation and I cannot wait.

Luckily, though only in high school, I have had the privilege to travel all around the United States. I’ve traveled to nearly every state here in the West, I’ve been to New York, Texas, Florida, and Washington DC. In each place, there was something interesting in each place, whether that be the people, the structures, the food, or the activities. I love the beach very much, and would love to travel somewhere with that tropical atmosphere, like the Bahamas or even somewhere like Hawaii. I would love to travel with my friends, honestly wherever, because for me, the best part about my trips are the people I get to spend time with. I’m not a huge fan of traveling, but if I do it with people I know I will enjoy spending time with, then I know that I about to have a good time!

I love traveling, especially out of the country! Sometime in my life I would want to visit Ireland or Scotland because some of my ancestors are from there and I want to see the cool landscapes and cultures that have. I also really want to go to Japan, for my graduation trip me and my family are going to Japan.

Somewhere I really want to go is Germany, my dad's side came from there and I have always wanted to see the culture and fantastical geology over there. Along with the food I have always been down to try new food even if they seem odd to me, so I would be ecstatic about that. I would probably bring my dad, he has also always wanted to go and see some of their traditions.

It's like I've been waiting my whole life to answer this question. Nicolas, I actually want to travel to Scotland for a lot of the same reasons. Both sides of my family have roots there. The Davidson clan even has a castle which has been turned into a hotel. I would love to take my family with me, and stay in my clans castle, and visit Edinburgh, where my Opa served his mission. I would also like to fly to New York with my mother and watch the NYC Ballet. If our relations with Russia changed so that it became safe to travel there again, I would love to visit the Moscow Ballet as well, and the Conservatory of Music.
