travelling... what places have you been?

norompanlasolas · 02-07-2002, 07:18 AM

im curious as to where has everybody travelled (well, assuming that you have [img]smile.gif[/img] ). you can name countries, cities, whatever you want.

i was born in rosario, argentina, and have travelled it quite extensively (its a very big country). ive also been to some parts of brazil (camboriu, rio de janeiro, copacabana), and to montevideo and punta del este in uruguay.

here in europe i live in madrid but have been to marbella, malaga, logroño, valencia, alicante, tarifa, barcelona, toledo and salamanca (in spain). i have also been to england (london, torquay, torbay area, brighton and liverpool). in denmark ive been to kobenhavn, lyngby, odense and some other parts i cant remember (cursed danish [img]smile.gif[/img] ). in belgium to eupen, antwerp, lommel, brugges, bruxelles, oostende, kortridj, etc. in germany to munchen and koln. and finally in portugal to lisboa.

well, thats it. not very much but i plan to add lots of places in france and italy this summer since im backpacking there for 2 months. [img]smile.gif[/img]

edit: forgot to mention that you can also explain what makes you choose the places you are goint to visit (history, landmarks, people, climate, terrain, etc). me? i rather them being close to the ocean, since that is what i love most in this world. and i live in madrid... sigh... but no for long. my surfboard is getting rusty.

Not as extensively travelled as you

But I have been to a few places.

Born in Sydney Australia, moved to New Zealand at 4 years old to Christchurch. Spent the next 6 years travelling around both NZ and Aus, the moved to SLC in Utah US, and spent two years there. Went around about 7 diff states there before moving back to Aus again. Then back to NZ then back to Aus [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Currently trying to plan a holiday to Europe.

J'aran · 02-07-2002, 07:49 AM

Well, born in the Netherlands, and I've been pretty much all over this small country. As for foreign destinations, I've been to the Ardennes in Belgium, a couple of places in Germany, Kobenhavn in Denmark, Paris in France and the city of Luxembourg in Luxembourg. All reasonably close to where I live.

02-07-2002, 07:54 AM

Hmm might be easier for me to list the states I have never been to [img]smile.gif[/img]

OK: US States I have actually lived in:
Pennsylvania (3 times & 3 locations)
West Virginia (2 times & 2 locations)
Virginia (Norfolk)
New York (too young to remember the name of the town)
Florida (2 times & 3 locations)
Puerto Rico (Sabana Seca and ok its not a state but is a territory)
Alaska (2 times & 3 locations)
Maine (Winter Harbor)
Minnesotta (Champlain)
Maryland (Laurel)
California (Imperial Beach/San Diego)

States visited yo see friends & reletives, vacation or to sightsee:
Tennessee
Kentucky
Texas
Arizona
Oregon
Washington
Washington (DC)
South Dakota
Indiana
Ohio
Colorado
Connecticut
Georgia

Overseas and other countries/areas of operations
Canada
Mexico
Caribean
Northern and eastern South America
Indian Ocean and surrounding countries
Philipines and surrounding area (Clark Airbase)
Turkey
Israel
Korea (south)
Diego Garcia (IO)
Gitmo (guantanimo) Cuba
Mediteranian
Artic Ocean and Aleutian Islands

Some of the over seas areas such as South America I was never allowed to know exactly where I was due to security restrictions. I visited many places for just an hour or two at a time untill the P3 was refueled. Some places that I know I have been to, Im not allowed to admit to...so those are the most prominent places for me.

Oops forgot to mention short layovers in Rota Spain and in Keflavik Iceland. (Iceland is a really cool place)

I've probably travelled least of you people

Edinborg - Scotland it was great...

And thets it, except I've travelled Iceland a bit of course.

However I want to go to
Argentina (mostly to see my friend)
All of Britain
Denmark (again to see my friend)
Egypt (since I was a kid I've been fascinated by the pyramids)

And my dream is to travel the US from coast to coast in a trailer truck [img]smile.gif[/img]

Roxi · 02-07-2002, 08:44 AM

Gee, you guys have been to a lot of places. I've only been in the states and Mexico and Canada. I lived in Ohio, Arizona, and Washington (not DC), and part time in Kentucky where half our family is from. The rest of the states, 23 in all, were only visits.

I hope I'll get to travel though, there's a lot of places I want to see. The British Isles, Rome, Greece, Egypt, travel along the Danube, but I guess I have to get rich first.

Galadria · 02-07-2002, 08:44 AM

Oh, well, I haven't had the time to travel so extensively, but...So much of the U.S.A. that I'm not going to bore you with it, and
England (I love London)
Germany (Munchen is beautiful and has great food)
Ireland (now I know why green is their national color)
Sweden (great yachting)
Mexico (of couse, I am a Texan)
France (great food, Burgundy is beautiful)
Italy (I wish I was like Garnet and spent more time there)
Virgin Islands (probably the most beautiful place in the world. I'd live there if it wasn't for the mosquitoes)
