i just got a new one, so now i can go to lebanon and syria (my last one had too much hebrew in it); it only has the stamps to and from nicaragua in it now. i had to send my last one to the embassy in london to get extra pages because it filled up so fast.

what can i say, i like to travel.

of places I've been Macchu Picchu in Peru holds a special feeling... read a book about Bingham discovering it in 1910...the lost Inca City..but I still cant spell it.

Iguassu Falls on the Brazil/Argie border is a wonderful place on Earth.

living in europe helped with the cost. also, i usually travel alone, take public intercity transport and stay in hostels. if you're traveling to someplace like nicaragua, the only real cost is the airfare. same with morocco, jordan and egypt if you're living in europe.

switzerland, on the other hand....

in no particular order inc countries I live in or have lived in or just travelled through. Australia West Germany East Germany France Spain Italy Belguim Netherlands Danmark Bulgaria Turkey New Zealand Thahiti Mexico Panama (canal) Netherlands Antilles Potugal USA

If I counted airports I could probably add another 6.

How does that explain Australians then? They get everywhere!

I helps living at the arse end of the world. If you have travel 24 hours to get somewhere it doesn't really matter where you go.

Plus Australians don't mind long trips. They don't think twice about jumping in their car and travelling for 1000km 2 days in a row, or even non-stop. I remember a couple of 16 + hour car trips to Brisbane or the Gold Coast. So Aussies are used to long trips from a very early age.

Agent Wood asked...

Never Iran, the food there always disagrees with me. But South Afrika, how could I forget. I used to purchase 20mm Anti-Material guns there. Nice weapons at a good price.

It's odd, isn't it.

I think it's partly to do with the fact that we have to travel so far to get to EU that we probably figure that once we get there, we need to make the most of it. Plus EU is so far removed from us, it still has this exciting and historical appeal. And now more Aussies have also embraced travel to Asia, it opens up a vast map of exotic and cheap destinations in our region.

It's different for the British for instance, they're surrounded by Europe, it's too familiar to them and many probably figure that they'll get there someday as it's on their doorstep. That's why many of them now seem to do trips down through Asia, seeking different cultures.

The travel culture in the US is different for various reasons. Many seem happy just to explore the vast but safer world residing within their borders.

In the U.S., one has to sometimes travel a great distance just to leave the country.

Do you think it's any different in Australia?

:\pimp3:

Erm, that would make me an idiot, wouldn't it?

Nah.

But perhaps you shouldn't have had that last scotch so close to retiring for the night.

:\pimp3:

Just two glasses of Pinot Gris. Mind, that's two more than I usually have.

Just stay off the "f*cking Merlot".
