My favorite thing about being able to travel, is showing the family how there are so many different lifestyles, and getting home to hang up the Family Photos.
To travel is to live!
The best thing about travel is that it lets you experience different cultures, customs and food.
One of the most memorable trips I’ve been fortunite to experience was a trip to China, from Shanghai to Beijing. We did stops in Xi’an to see the Terra Cotta Soldiers which was amazing. We visited many of the temples, the Great Wall and palaces. As well, a cruise on the Yangtze River. I am still wowed by what mankind has built in the past with limited tools and equipment. I believe China is a must see trip for everyone, real eye openner!
Mon copain et moi somme en couple depuis l’âge de 16ans. Cette année ça va faire cinq ans que nous sommes ensemble et que nous partageons une passion pour les voyages. Nous sommes fan de plongée. Nous avons nagé avec les requins en république dominicaine et avec les dauphins à cuba. Nous partageons le rêve d’aller à Antigua pour sa magnifique faune marine. Un autre cinq ans d’amour et de voyage et on réalisera peut-être notre rêve
merci !!
Oh – the wonder! Always something new and exciting no matter where you travel!
Travelling is a great way to learn about other cultures and cuisines. I love it.
My passion is travelling to as many countries and regions as possible to enjoy different cultures, landscapes, and cuisines.
My husband and I lead such busy and stressful lives that we look forward to getting away to a romantic and peaceful vacation every year.We like going to a spa resort to relax and unwind.
My passion is researching new cultures.The food, architecture, and people of far away lands really interest and fascinate me and I love to travel the world to experience everything it has to offer.
Traveling gives us a lot of chance to spend quality time together as a family , not only we experience different cultures and its also a good learning experience for my Kids , its something books can’t teach .
I love travelling to countries and spending time with the local people. I would far rather stay in small hotels run by locals and use public transportation than go to a resort.
I went to India recently and stayed with relatives of my friend. It was wonderful to get to know local people.
I enjoy travelling all over the world. Travelling gives me opportunity to eat different food. I am epicurious! I love to travel eat exciting dishes with a beautiful panoramic view.
I love travelling to get away on a winter break and going back to my favourite place in Cuba. We have made manu friends there and can’t wait to return there each year.
One of my favorite things about travelling is being able to try different cuisines. I’m a big food person, always looking to try something different.
I love traveling to Cuba every winter with my wife. The staff at the resort we stay at are so friendly they make our stay perfect.
My sister and I took our Mom to Quebec City in July of this year, we had a beautiful vacation and this was something our Mom had wanted to do for many years but with raising a large family never had the chance, this was her first time flying with Air Canada at 73 years of age and she thoroughly enjoyed the experience ,she is already talking about her next vacation with Air Canada!!!
I love to travel the adventure of seeing new places and meeting new people is wonderful with lasting memories for myself and my whole family
My passion is the pure planning & excitment of visiting a new location for the very first time!
I love researching places to visit and planning adventures on the trip. I love sharing the experience with my family and then reliving it through the photos and memories. I believe traveling and exploring together creates strong bonds within a family.
Our latest family vacation was in September 2010 in Disneyland, California. It was a dream come true for us as parents, to take all four of our children to Disneyland to experience the most magical place on earth. We had great weather for our week-long vacation. We also visited the San Diego Zoo, Universal Studies, Long Beach, Venice Beach and even dropped by the LA Ink studio of Kat Von D (special surprise for our 19 year old daughter). The best trip yet!
I love seeing new places and experiencing new cultures.
I am discovering a passion for travel as I work too hard, I do too much and still have so much of this fantastic world to see!!
I’ve spent the last 6 years building a successful business and would love to have a good reason to take a little time off to travel! Who’s coming with me??
My passion when going on vacation is getting to live in a different world for a short while. I enjoy getting to know the differnt people its very enlightening. I enjoy the escape…I love it !
Being able to escape the every day with my husband and kids, and take a holiday where all we need to worry about is having fun, is truly a wonderful thing.
I love to travel because I meet new and interesting people and visit and explore new and interesting places like the pyramids in Egypt I haaven’t been on a cruise yet and I would love to go on one. My family want to travel to Florida and visit I’m sure we would have a blast I can’t wait to go on vacation again
love taking air canada to florida and then taking a cruise
love cruises and air canada flies to the port cities
Having the travel “bug” all my life, I’ve found a good way to explore a new country – or group of nearby countries – is to first arrange to travel there initially is on an organized tour. Despite having to put up with “tardy” co-travellers, you get a chance to see a lot in a short period of time. You get a “feel” for the country and can then better decide whether it’s a kind of place you’d like to return to on your own – and stay for a while. Last September we did a tour of northern France. Fell in love with the Normandy/Brittany area. We’ll go back and spend a week or two just wandering the small towns and seaside villages – and soak up the local culture. It was soooooooo quaint !
