Well, I already been to Europe...technically. But i'm still fascinated by the outside world. I still would like to get out of the Northeast and travel to other parts of the country. Boston is lovely and all, but after being here for so long and enduring ridiculous weather, you want to travel to other places. I'm a city dweller, but I wouldn't mind going to Nebraska. Just take me any where.

I thought my answer would be ironic because i'm an atheist and those locations are Christian-related. I'm not seeking a religious revival, i'm just curious to see these places. Yet i'm not really a sight-seeing person of our national landmarks, but I will still love to see the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls or even the Toilet Seat Art Museum. But would it be boring just book a vacation week in a designated location and force yourselves to see these sights without taking time and appreciating it. I think my dream road trip would be to go any where the wind takes me, go visit different locations in the different American regions and dabble in them. Sort of like blending in, truly experiencing it instead of being a typical tourist. I wouldn't mind to see the life of Southerners. I don't think it would be radically different, depending on the location, but does every place have their own special charm? Outside of America, I would love to go to Egypt, not to stand in front of the Great Sphinx of Giza and take silly pictures. Or go to any other African countries, even though it's potentially dangerous. Yet danger lurks everywhere, right? And Tokyo would be fascinating too, but there are other places besides Tokyo. I know the majority of us here adore Japan and modern Japanese culture and we would all love to visit or live in Japan, but personally, i'm getting a bit tired with seeing Japan here and Japan there.

I'll end here. Basically, I would like to travel to different places (both national and international), but not as a tourist. You know, reside there for a while and experience live at that particular place. Learn new things, meet other people [unless you're coming to Boston. xD], and adapt whatever language they speak if it isn't English or any other language i'm already efficient at and adapt the culture. If you keep rushing yourself to get a glimpse of famous sights without soaking it in the experience as a whole, time would go too fast and it'll become not so enjoyable. I don't want to live the experience with one hand tied behind my back the whole time. But with the economy here effecting most of us who reside in America, my dream road/world trip is really a mere dream...for now. Unless the economy stimulates itself once more or I score a role as a host for some show in the Travel Channel.
