Do you like to travel?

I say/think I do and I kinda do, but I also like being home with all my stuff and predictability. I think I like the idea of it more than actually doing it in most cases.

Weird question on this board! At the end of my 21 hours in flight from OK to Bangkok I was about to say frik this but then I got to my destination and remembered why it's worth it. I have traveled most of my life due to my father and myself in the military so it's mostly natural to me.

Traveling for work? Can get old. I've put myself into a routine...staying at the same hotels in my repeat cities.
Personal travel? Always up for anything.

I love to travel. I guess it's because I don't do it very often. I love hotels (except the Motel 6 in Tuscaloosa 
--frick that place). I love seeing new things (or visiting things/people I don't get to see very often).
I HATE the process of getting on and off airplanes. Once I'm through security, I'm OK. But if I have to go through customs, or change planes, I'm a wreck. Once I'm on the plane, I'm ok. If I have an aisle seat, or empty seat beside me, I don't care how long the flight is...even trans-Atlantic/-Pacific.
I think the main reason I love travelling is because I get to leave my shitty life behind.

I feel like I live to travel. Always looking to go someplace new, far away or in the US doesn't matter. I'm young, single and while I don't have a great income as a grad student, I'm still able to do a lot of the traveling I want.

On my Thailand/Cambodia trip I spent the following:
- 3 Day (actual time) on planes or in an airport
- Customs 4 times
- Security 18 times
It was hell but worth it.

The older I get its becoming a massive beating
The packing and unpacking, jet lag, flight delays, long flights
I'm just a simple man. Grill my steak and drink my beer at home

My passion in life is traveling. I'm always looking or planning for the next trip. I'm different than most though. I want to see all of America before I start traveling overseas. I've been to Mexico and Canada but that is as far out of the country as I've been. My goal is to visit every National Park in the U.S. before I start exploring other areas of the world. I think a lot of people don't truly understand how much beauty we have here. I think people immediately start looking at Europe before considering how many amazing places we have here at home. I'm also a bit different in that I like to see the country by car rather than flying over and missing a bunch of cool stuff. I'm fortunate that in my job I can take three weeks off to do massive road trips. I've enjoyed getting to see a lot of places off the beaten path. Honestly, the people in our country are all so different. I find it amazing that we can all get along and work together considering how different we are. If you haven't travelled by car all over the U.S., you can't truly appreciate how large of a county we are. I still find it incredible how we are so culturally different based in the geographic area of the country we live in. It really gives you a new perspective on how you view everything. Being exposed to different ideas and cultures in your own country can be eye opening. So..... there is my philosophy on travel. See America First , do it by car, get to know the locals, and experience the many varied cultures we have in the United States.

Kind of the opposite of me, I'm trying to see other parts of the world asap. Had a chance to go to Europe back in high school but missed the deadline to pay.

Agreed. We likely won't visit all of them, but we've checked about 12 off the list so far and are planning another trip soon.

Europe is definetly on deck followed by Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Peru.

That's a great start! I'm about halfway there. There are a ton of them when you start counting National Seashores, National Monuments, etc. My goal is to just visit all of the National Parks. If I can catch some others along the way it's even better. I have been to a TON of the other types of National Parks as well. I caught the bug after visiting Mt. Rainier National Park and haven't stopped yet.

I absolutely love traveling, especially if I don't have to drive.
However, I have little time and less money for it.
If I could afford it and choose my destinations and companions, I would spend a few months each year exploring the world.

I don't travel for work, but my lady and I do our fair share of traveling the country. Currently this year we have been back to her home state, then a cruise next weekend, then a trip to Phoenix and Vegas, then hopefully Chicago and maybe Houston.
ETA: Traveling is something I didn't do much of in my 20's, but in my 30's I've become somewhat of a traveler. I absolutely love it.

That's awesome! My dad went to Australia and he said it's the only place outside of the U.S. he could see himself living. Had nothing but great things to stay. That's why it's on my short list of places I want to visit outside of the U.S.

I am thinking about planning a trip to see the Northwest part of the U.S. between July and Oct. Planning on possibly flying into Portland, OR. but not sure if that is the best starting point. Redwood National Park is a must but looking for other ideas or suggestions for sightseeing. Will probably only have 6-8 days and would like to possibly drive up to Canada. Thanks for any suggestions from those familiar with that part of the country. Thanks in advance.

Will probably get more responses if you start a thread specifically about this.

If you are going before October that will help. Once you get into fall you can get into some trouble weather wise. If you are going in summer then the choices are endless. If Redwoods NP is a must, I would start in Sacremento and work my way up and fly out of Seattle. I have family in Washington and have visited many times. So, I'm very familiar with that part of the country. I will say that only having 6-8 days will be tough. If it were me, I would see Redwoods, then head over to Lassen Volcanic NP, and then Crater Lake NP. Make sure to stop in Bend, OR too. I would head north and then travel the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Highway to Portland. I would take I-5 to Seattle and hit the Olympic Pennisula. If you have time, you could cross over into Canada and then head back to Seattle.
