Anywhere abroad will do me nicely.
I've never been abroad yet or away on holiday as a matter of fact. I'm 18 now.
I haven't even got a passport.

Actually i'm 15 right now...
Anyways...I went to Paris when I was 11, I was born in israel.
I want to see more of this world...much more...
I'm planning on going backpacking through Africa. Iwant to see what it's really like there. You hear a lot of stuff on the news and read about it but from people who actually went there, I know it's quite different than what they say it is. Anyone up for backpacking? ;)

I remember in Year 6 we had to choose a country to do a topic on and I chose Brazil. From then on I had a bit of an obsession with it and to this day I'd still love to go there.
Guess it's just how it's so diverse, from the biggest rainforest in the world to the favellas of Rio, I'd love to go backpacking around it for a while. :)

Not really anywhere, to be honest. I guess it's because when I'm from Australia, and I've already seen quite a bit of the world.
Now I want to move back to Melbourne, but I don't think t'missus does *sigh*

Ufff... Everywhere. I wanted to move to Valencia... And I did at 17. Then to Benidorm again. I did at 20. I wanted to move to London... I did three months ago. And in a couple of years I want to go to Havana! IŽll do that too, of course. (I should really make my mind up, shouldn't I :rolleyes: )

Anywhere would be nice really, i wouldn't mind seeing many places but i want to go to Amsterdam and the South American countries including Peru, Columbia and i would love to visit Brazil, i've always liked that place since 1994 after they won the world cup, it must have been the bright yellow t shirt or something.
I also would like to visit Vientam and Cuba to which my uncle has seen both before.
I want to see all the world, we are only hear once so we may as well see it all don't you think?

If the UK does then chances are Australia will follow... And in answer to the question, which I realised I haven't answered - At 15 I had a list in my diary and a map on my wall, I wanted to go to Japan, the UK, Italy, Russia, Barcelona, Prague, Amsterdam, China, Nepal and the Antartic. 4 out of ten isnt too bad......

I fell in love with Gozo (very small island off Malta) when I went there when I was younger, I've been wanting to go back since.
The Maltese are so nice and their langauge is fantastic, a wierd mix of Arabic and god knows what else, very strange.

I absolutely loved Mdina, on Malta itself, it is the most incredible city, I could have spent days just wandering around. I didn't make it to Gozo but I did love Malta, I have bad memories of driving there though as they all drive like maniacs.

Totally right, they are the worst drivers in the world I've seen, though the most dangerous are in SA where most of the mini taxis carry weaponry.
We were going up a steep hill in a car one time and we went by this bloke on a tiny moped, we realised he had his whole right leg in plaster, then we went past him and realised his whole left arm was in plaster too!!

Lovely people though and their Churches are amazing, isnt it 99.9% of the population goes to church every week.
I prefered Gozo to Malta, its more of a back water, its even slower and there are places which arent that touristy.
Did you get to the blue lagoon? Theres some fantastic diving off Gozo too, I went diving there and there was a massive drop off wall with loads of stuff living in it, it was one of the best dives I've done.

They are very laid back and friendly, and yes, very religious. We didn't get to the Blue Lagoon, and only went snorkelling, but it really was gorgeous, the water was really warm and clear..... hmmmmmm......

And I found it wasnt the overtly salty Med sea water you get from the south of France, which I wasnt keen on.
It felt clean and was very clear for diving. Makes me wish I was on holiday really.

Oooooh I went to Malta when I was 9. My nanas maltese and ive got family over there. Id love to go back. I loved the blue lagoon, and those little horse and carts, and the buses where everyone would just sit next to each other, no matter how empty the bus was. Valetta was beautiful. The only bad thing was standing on a sea urchin in Sleima.
Gozo was beautiful too, very secluded beaches. I dont know if its the same these days. I really want to go back.

My Nanas got this song on tape about Maltese driving. It says `some drive on the left, some drive on the right, but in Malta they drive in the shade`.
