Well? What does travel mean to you?

old hippy

Inspired by one of those "worst holiday" threads, which seemed to be verging on the xenephobic on occasion :rolleyes:

What do you enjoy most about travelling? Be it meeting people, cuisine, sightseeing, lazing on a beach (or in a bar), music, culture, letting your hair down etc?

anything that involves getting out of this sh!tty country for a bit counts as travel to me

Being in a brand new place. And doing all the stuff I normally do... in a brand new place.

Funglegunk

It's all about the food and drink for me.

I still recommend people to our shores, even after 13 years out of it! a friend of ours travelled all the way from Tokyo just to try a pint of Guinness in Mulligans!

For her, it was a quest for the perfect pint.

Pillaging.

Leaving the country in which you reside, for any period of time, would constitute travel, yes.

I love meeting the locals most if the time they are the nices people to meet

IrishAm

Meet new people, enjoy their cuisine and local beverages. See the sights and try and learn a bit of the local history.

I am always on my best behaviour when I travel for some reason. Never act the bollix when gargled up, dunno why.

Going to a foreign country, eating McDonalds non-stop, only drinking in Irish bars, wearing my GAA jersey and being known by my County instead of my name.

But I love to travel.

Solitude, being away from everyone, like out in the desert in Arizona or Canadian wilderness, just me and my thoughts.

Complain about all the foreigners there seems to be.

Seachmall

Shopping, eating, drinking and meeting people.

Hande hoche!

The change of scenery.

It means a lot.. Mainly the people, the culture and then the craic. I'm lucky now that I get that while earning a wage.

Getting back home.

I enjoy the sight seeing, being in a new and different place, exploring a different culture and environment/atmosphere as well as seeing something new and something spectacular like something famous and change of scenery! Relax and enjoy the sights while having a bit of fun too!

Where To

I don't go anywhere unless I get paid for it.

I love travelling.

The scenery and weather. The different pace of life and culture is what's really great though. It gives me a real sense of freedom to know there are other places that are very different to our own and a lot of them are really wonderful.

every year (or sometimes twice per year) I thank my lucky stars that

a. I am still healthy enough to be able to travel

b. I am still able to fund my traveling because of work. I really don't want to think of the day that my job is gone.

I love the last week build up to the actual travel day - this is nearly as exciting as the trip away, thinking about what you are going to be doing etc, and purchasing last minute summer wear, getting waxed, pampered etc.

Not too mad on the plane journey, but once there I just love the feeling of "i should be working but instead here I am swimming, snorkeling, sightseeing, etc.

I think holidays should be mandatory for everyone in ireland - for one its a known fact that lack of sunshine can bring on depression. Put that with the depressed economy and its a recipe for disaster.

It should be one of the top priorities of the numpties in Government to take car of their people (not just themselves) and provide a grant for everybody to be able to get some sort of break from the terror they inflict on us, by sending them for a few days in the sun.

I'll tell you what travel doesn't mean to me.

All the clowns in Australia I know that get thrashed every night, eating tayto in scruffy murphies and drinking pints of magners, while living in a hostel with 20 other Irish people aren't travelling. Even though they say they are.

All of the above. Some in moderation e.g. not too much lazing but not overly active either.

Love a change of scenery/routine!

It's life experience so they can use it to win arguments that have nothing to do with Australia.

Them: "Yea, well, when I was travelling in Australia......blah-de-blah..........so there!!"
You: "The hell has that got to do with who's cheaper, Lidl or Aldi?"

I love how different everything is. You can read up on a place as much as you want but you know f.uck all about a place untill you are there.

I love going somewhere quare as much as the next man, and without putting you all to sleep, I've spent many years backpacking around various corners of the Earth. I'm happy enough now though to have a few weeks a year somewhere warm, I think I'm over the cultural immersion thing to a certain extent.
Anyway I briefly tried online dating once and the amount of people rabbiting on about how they've been here and there and they're "not finished just yet!!!" when it comes to travelling was incredibly boring, would instantly make me skip the profile. Is that weird of me?

Either way I bet they're having great craic. What should they be doing down there anyway, soaking up the Aussie culture? What's that then... pies? Aussie rules?

I like looking at infrastructure, I find the new stuff as fascinating as the old stuff. I even like taking part in logical transportation systems like those found just about everywhere else in Europe.
