I see that there are many people who have traveled extensively the past 10 years.

It's nice to know the other cultures.

 

I have 21 years and I come from travelers who are 18. I know Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay and Chile.

These are all countries that are adjacent to the Argentine border.

The places that I'd like to go are Las islas Malvinas (which is 700 miles from my house).

Italy, France and Germany.

[Ghost029]

I've been to Canada, Mexico and Barbados. Saw a lot of places from a periscope, but we nevered pulled into port. Nice to see a lot of people have extensively travelled.

Been a Truckdriver the last 15 years. I've seen most of Germany including much of the former GDR after the wall fell. Sweden, Norway, Austria, Licthenstein, Switzerland and Italy. Next year I'm going to Greenland. Yeah I know it's part of Denmark but it's considered overseas here.

 

People in all places were nice and really helpfull, except in some parts of the most Southern Germany where it seems ORDNUNG MUSS SEIN is still in order. No offense intended my German friends, most of you are really nice. Just a few cranky ones
