i happen to suffer from a bit of the wanderlust. i've traveled to japan, china, the philipines, new zealand, and most recently i spent 6 months backpacking across the most beautiful natural wonder of the world - australia. but i've noticed that most people of our generations don't share the same zest for seeing the world. actually, allow me to correct my previous statement. most americans of our generations.
i've met many other travelers on my escapades, many of which i'm happy to say i've made friends with. but startling to me was the absense of american youth. in fact, canada aside (canadians make for some wild adventures), i don't think i ever saw a single other young north american traveler. mind you, i stay away from the tourist traps of the world.
this got me to wondering why more american youth elect not to see the world. i can understand that many out there feel that they've got their life already planned out. finish high school, get into a good college, find the perfect job, maybe get married and have kids. i suppose there's nothing wrong with that, but it's not for me.
i guess i was just curious to know if anyone else has plans for getting out there, and seeing the world. plans - not dreams. dreams always seem to come to fruition at the ripe old age of 65. i'm actually planning on visiting our friends in europe. i'm trying to put together a month to a month and a half, to go stomping around over there. i'd actually really like to go to africa, but things over there are always so hairy.
and please feel free to let me know why or why not you want to travel.

i guess being forced to relocate kind of takes the fun out of seeing new places though, huh?
oh, i'd also like to go back to hawaii and do some magma watching. i saw a special on it the other night. man, it looks sweet.

I have been to Italy, but can't really afford to travel, I work a steady job, and am married. I think a large number of americans view going directly to college, and then directly into the workforce from college as the "proper" way to begin life as an adult. Travel does not fit into those plans very well.

yeah, that's the impression i've gotten. i'm just curious to know why more people don't make the time to travel.
i'm actually preparing to start a career as an aircraft technician. i'm hoping to use my skills to see more of the world. for free that is. most major airlines offer free flights to their employees.

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

As long as he shoots back, he should be fine.

i prefer the real deal, over tricking my mind into believing i've done something i haven't. i have a lot of friends like you, though. it's such a pain in the ass to get them to do anything. it's like the drugs sap the willpower out of them.
