If you get out of the country and go to a place that doesn't speak your language, culture completely changes. People in Russia are distinctly different from people in Costa Rica, who are distinctly different from people in the UK :shrug:.

That's really the last reason why I want to travel.  The point is just that I don't want to grow old and die without traveling...I would like to see the world, but then again I guess everyone does but they just have the same time and budget constraints.

There is nothing to see but there are things that can be absorbed.  I like it best when I come back home and I have that feeling of have traveled.  Having looked at a mountain and gotten a feeling.  That feeling that nothing matters to that mountain.

You are going to stand out and look stupid traveling.  Looking like a runaway on a corner late at night.  ISIS might recruit you or the KGB.  LMAO!

I don't really care how stupid I look, although I know the importance of blending in and not getting taken advantage of.  But the bottom line is that traveling is something that I feel like I NEED to do at this point in my life.  I feel that my lack of experiencing other places has stunted my growth.

New Zealand is amazing. So many beautiful pictures. Plane ticket from the USA is about $1200. $2200 for 6 days is my estimate.

What sort of enrichment are you looking for?  Are there museums you can go to that are closer?  Sometimes a movie enriches my experience and gives an escape. 

Lot's of places are awesome.  They all have life that exists there.  Not one place in the world sucks at it's core.  People have made certain areas pretty shitty tho.

Ever watch rick steves Europe?  Aside from all the Christianity in Europe it looks ok.  Not that I am into sin such as the red light district of the dam.

Just beware that a lot of the world hates Americans.

As long as my physical being is not threatened, then why should I care what the rest of the world thinks of me?

The enrichment I'm looking for is fairly general.  A reason to live, is one of them.  Also my life really needs (new) experiences.  I'm also about to graduate like I said, and don't want to find myself too busy to do these things years down the road, and wish I had done them when I had the chance.

I have spent the vast majority of my life living in one spot, and I just feel the need to see something new.  I also read a lot about history and there's a lot I'd like to see in Europe, as well as in Asia and Russia perhaps (whether you consider that Asia or Europe). 

I also might like to visit LA, San Francisco or NYC, or any other "world cities" really.  Seeing some outdoors up in Oregon and Alaska would be cool too.

Gotta pick one wisely then.  That or make a lot of money and get a job with plenty of freedom to travel.

Traveling is ego.  So figure out what your ego really wants.  Surely there is nature in Europe and history.  If I went to every hometown of my ancestors that came from Europe, I'd be gone for a long time!

Just to find out where they all came from and some of the relics.  I guess we are all trying to form some sort of understanding.  Not that the ancestors in Europe would care very much. People there likely don't care about distant relatives.  At least I wouldn't expect them to.

That's an interesting idea, stopping by all the little hamlets and whatwhat where your ancestors came from.

I've had some distant relatives contact the family, there's some debate as to our relation though.

Ya who knows who knocked up who in the past.  Even Hitler's true father is debated.

Some of my ancestors came from border areas.  I'm mostly Irish, but got a shit load of other European decent. 

There are hardly any Irish people in my city.  A few but we all identify as American and hardly have a clue what that entails.  Usually just death and taxes!

I'm not really eager to find the places where my ancestors used to live.  They were probably boring places anyways, and I don't know who my ancestors were anyways because my family hasn't done any genealogy that I know of.


@Repertoire:  What do you mean by "the gatherings"?

Interesting point, infidelity may be a grand equalizer in genealogy

My family history is pretty meticulous, even on the surface I'm mixed... part of the family has been in America since before the Jihad of 1860, but I wouldn't identify as American. Being in Spain and Germany, I felt more at home than I've ever felt in the states.

Shroomery gatherings, I've only met one person from here, but I know a few from IRL.
This place tends to attract interesting and moderately intelligent people.

I've been to rainbow gatherings.

I just want to know if there is any power in my gene pool.  If anybody worth a rats ass exists or ever has existed.

It is sad that people lost heritage and tradition traveling to America.  I wonder how many came here due to being criminals.

Rumor has it that on my Grandpa's side, the french part, were one of the first families in Ohio. 

I have Amish, German, Swiss, Irish, and some other shit which is not clear.  Kinda wanna clear it up and only DNA tests will determine that.

Who knows, you could be next in line for a thrown somewhere.

I would find it interesting to have a DNA test, and I do know most of my ancestry...but I don't really care to travel to some no-name village in Europe just to meet people who shared a great(x10) grandfather with me.

Maybe u can take a trip to Peru for an ayahuasca ceremony, or visit their ruins. I'd probably prefer to take a trip to south Mexico to check out the ancient Mayan civilizations and what not.

3000 bucks in Mexico is a lot money.

Idk why but I read this title as advice on meth?
But you can travel pretty cheap in the states.

I've made it to okc on 200$. Only gas and $ for cigs :lol: lots of amphetamine and water and weed of course :lol: I stopped in Ohio at a campground snuck in and parked for free... Got to okc the next day.

def bring fruit and nuts

My advice is to do it.

As much as possible as often as possible as long as possible and as young as possible .

As many places as possible.

Go somewhere with gorgeous nature and somewhere that your money will go father (where your currency is more valuable )
