What's Your Motivation: The Five W's of Travel
Possibly the easiest decisions we make when we take a trip: Who we are traveling with? What we are doing on our vacations? Where are we going? When are we going? And finally: Why are we taking this trip?
So I'm asking you: What's YOUR motivation? Do you usually travel to see family or friends who do not live near you? Or, do you travel to see a new place? Who do you normally travel with? Your family, friends, boyfriend or girlfriend, spouse, kids?
Part of the reason why I am with my boyfriend is his adventurous nature. We got together as a result of planning a trip to Europe and have been tripping together ever since. I feel that you really get to know someone once you experience a foreign country with them, both good and bad sides of their personality. I also like to travel with my mom, mostly because she springs for dinner!
If I am planning a trip, I also like to try and include a distant friend or relative who may live or be visiting the place I'm going. After all, these people have an inside perspective of the place I'm visiting, like the best restaurants or beaches.
Who do you travel with? Why do you go? What influences your travel choices?

I never had any travel ...
I want to go to Japan ....
I just love new places, and that is why I like travelling.
By default, I usually end up traveling with my family. My mom is fairly adventurous, but not as adventurous as I'd prefer. I've traveled with school (high school, then cooking school) when I went to France both times. I loved it only because I feel so connected to the French way of life... but wasn't too crazy about with whom I went. They wanted to do stupid stuff all the time (shop, drink, party, smoke... repeat the cycle over again), and not see the sites or really delve into the culture of a place. This is the reason that I love to travel. I also love to really explore and be adventurous... and just hang with the locals. I think that's how you really get to find out about a place: what do the natives do? How do they normally spend a day? where are the local hang outs?
as long as i'm happy, i'll go ahead. (:
I travel to learn and know more the world. To satisfied the needs of adventure. Adventure travel is one of the most famous way of travel now a days people seek for more fun.
I love traveling with family and relatives.. I love to go to new places, see the beautiful sights, explore and learn more about culture.. It's also fun to try new dishes.. :)
The place I have not been to will be my motivation. And the soul mate I haven't found will as well.
