Getting to Know You

[Dakota Kid]

what other continents have you been to? I want to go somewhere after I graduate but I cant decide.

I have been to:
1. North America: USA!, Canada, Mexico
2. South America: Chile
3. Europe: Poland, Germany, Czech Republic, Denmark, Norway, Icelandhttp://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/czech_republic.htm
4. Asia: Lebanon, Syria

How adventurous are you? How willing are you to get out of your shell and experience new crazy things? That will really help decide where to go. I would love to go to South Korea for my next trip or to Tanzania if my friend is still there.

I am pretty adventurous. I dont dance, or sing, or enjoy club type atmospheres. But I will go rafting, sky diving, hiking, etc.. I also love talking to different people. I am not afraid of other cultures customs and I dont get offended easily (at least the kind of offended where I blow up in someones face or make a big deal if my feelings are hurt lol). I would like to go somewhere that has a decent pop of english speakers. I am also familiar with spanish, but not an expert lol.

My cousins just got back from Antarctica and I am so jealous. I tried to have them sponsor me because I couldn't afford the thousands it took to get there. But they also did some sort of global trip. After Antarctica they ended up in Ireland!
I am going to check out Malaysia now and see what that is like. Maybe in a few more years.

I would say go some place a little bit more exotic when you are "young and stupid". Europe is a great place but I think you could easily save that for later in life.
