[quote=APAULT,283377]I have travelled to about 25 countries in all, though one or two no longer exist. Originally a Pom (British) I hitchhiked around much of western Europe and a little of Eastern Europe, North Africa, the US and Canada as a student and young teacher. I taught in Papua New Guinea for three years and after, back in Britain, business travel again took me to Europe and the US a few more times. Then I migrated to Australia and travel slowed - why go overseas when you live in Oz, eh? But business took me to NZ a few times and I finally made one trip to Thailand. Of course, I am now in China. Future ideas include backpacking around SE Asia and an overland trip to Pommieland (Britain) via India to see the relos (realtives). Then when I reach middle age, ie about 70 or so, I will take a slow trip around Oz in a car and caravan (trailer home to north Americans, isn't it).... there are plenty of fish waiting to be caught; squash courts, golf courses, lawn bowls clubs to be visited; and no doubt a few pretty girls on the beach to appreciate and bring back memories. I have enjoyed all my travel except most of the flying, (hard seat on a Chinese train is more comfortable), and most of my trips to Britain. I have always prefered to camp or hostel and I never really felt comfortable in those plush hotels that went with business travel.[/quote]
