#1 Do you have a passport? Do you travel?

Post by Stofsk »

This is a question that occured to me a couple hours ago when I was talking to someone about travelling.

Where are you from, and do you have a passport? I'm from Australia and yes, I do have a passport. I've travelled overseas twice in the last year and a half. Prior to this I hadn't travelled out of my country for at least 10 years. I'm interested in seeing if anyone has an opinion on travelling and so on.

Got a passport in Okinawa when I was supposed to be sent to East Timour (didn't get to go that time, got another chance later on float). Most of my traveling has been on behest of the Department of Defense, but I've knocked around a bit on my own.

Yes, I have a passport. In fact before I joined the military and got a new one my old one was almost full of stamps ^_^.

I've been to England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Switezerland, Czech Republic, Egypt, China, Russia, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Austria and a few other places such as Norway and Finland.

I travel alot ^_^ And now I get to do it on the government's dime. Lets see here I get to go to Columbia and Iraq and...Iraq...and....Afghanastan and...yeah, you see where this is going.

I'm from Australia (but you knew that), don't possess a passport and have never been overseas. I have, however had the chance to travel a bit inside Australia thanks to the perambulatory habits of my parents and other assorted relatives.

Hoping to eventually save some money and explore Europe and maybe India.

Yup. Alas, most of them are business travels. :sad:

So be it. If saying "NO" means being alone, then to hell with love, with romance, with marriage, and all the shit life keeps pumping at me. I'll walk alone, but with freedom and a healed pride.

I'm from the U.S., and I've used my passport to travel to Japan and Ecuador, in that order. What's really fancy is that the Galapagos Islands will add their own stamp to the passport for kicks (and bragging rights) so really I have three places listed in it. :grin:

I'm from Australia. I don't have a passport right now, but back in '98 I visited Indonesia.

I hope to go to Europe.

Have a passport, been to Britain and Ireland. Other than that, I don't have the money or time to travel around much internationally. I do get around quite a bit within the States, though.
