Top Reasons for Travel ? Nov 08, 2006
Each one of us has a priority of the thing they want to experience in a new place what is it for you ?

Most of us will probably have more than one reason or all of them. But if you had to pick one most important one what would it be ?

I am the lone vote for restuarants. I think food will tell you alot about the culture and i love travelling to new places and checking out the restuarants.

What about the option of views/nature (beach, mountains, lakes, national park, etc)?

Usually I visit as many popular sightseeings/cities as possible within a short of time. To maximize the limited time and money spent.

But then I'm starting/learning to redefine the meaning of travel... "it's not about how many places/countries you visit, it's about how you experience and make a fond memory of one".
