I've traveled at least 1213 countries, rates in about over 1000 cities. So looking for people that what are your dreams? What are your dream travel? I know it's very hard right now. We covet. But when you're looking in the future, what do you think? I'd like to hear from you

And this whole thing kind of brings up the notion of, hey, if travel does open up, better go where you want or where you've always dreamed to go before things potentially close up again. And that place for me. I've always wanted to go to Iceland and have come close a couple of times and haven't done it. And I'm thinking when things open back up, I should probably make that trip before I can. So that's going to be number one on the list

Him and his wife and three daughters went to Iceland and they basically stayed at I believe it was like a hostel. And they did that while they were there because they found hotel pricing just too much. Anyways, take care. Thank you. Bye you

Hello, Pod Pro, and thank you for this post. And welcome to the swell community. I'm very sorry that COVID has affected so so rawly your profession and I've got a lot of a lot of empathy for people like yourself that have been affected by this. My particular travel plans actually fall in line with everything that's going on. We actually as a family, have the desire to travel these beautiful United States that we have in an RV as a family of six and a dog

Hi. Welcome. And thank you so much for starting this conversation. I have been dreaming so much of the day where I can travel regularly again. I've really been missing my friends in California and and every year I've been trying to if I can plan a trip to Berlin to practice my German and see my friends out there. And I haven't been able to do that this year now. So I've been definitely feeling kind of sad about that

So the more travel we do, the better I feel myself personally, but with these different times, yes, local travel, RV camping, tent camping, which I'm really not a fan of, but RV camping would be up my alley. And that's when we have seen the country and meeting new people. Thanks for being hosting here on swell

So I don't have much information on New Zealand, but I think that would be an ideal place to go. I know currency wise well, especially for us in Canada, it's almost a par. So the American dollar, if you're from the States, it will go a little further for you. The only thing you have to worry about is it does in the north part. Christchurch is very known for earthquakes

You studied it and just would like to go there and experience the people in the culture and the landscape. I think Japan would be a good destination to go to. I know there's a lot of people there, but yeah, I think one day if I had an opportunity to have a good Japan as well, and I do understand that you're wanting to go back and travel your family roots and go back to Iran, which is off limits right now being American

Hello, everyone here on Swell. I don't know what the what your thoughts are about. You know, I did ask the question here what's your dream vacation? I don't know if if what you people think or what's. Well, think about my request is if I could use your comments on a future podcast all about travel. If you're okay with that, I appreciate hearing from you. So thank you very much. Bye

Hello, Randall. This is Tobin, and you are more than welcome to use my sound bites on any podcast that you do. I'd appreciate the coverage. Let me know if there's anything else that I can do for you or anything else I can provide for you and your swell casts going forward. Thanks

So it's been an exploration for me of how to do this. And it's just such an amazing opportunity to get out of Los Angeles. So that's what I'll be doing. And I love that you are still going to be doing a podcast around travel and keeping us open and curious. So thanks for what you're doing

And yeah, my ideal trips would be ones to go visit family and friends and especially ones that I haven't seen for a while because it's one thing to pick up a phone and call them, but actually to show up and have that maybe distant conversation. But at least you're there in other present that would be kind of awesome. I'm putting all these together, the ones that give me approval on other show for September 11, 2020. It would be podcast
Hey, Pot pro. I'm new to Swell as well, so Hello and welcome, I guess to me too applicable. I had plans from 20, 18, 20, 19 or so to head out to Japan specifically. Well preferably Tokyo. And then I guess all around the surrounding areas for 2020, specifically in time for the Olympic Games, which was supposed to be in Japan

It's a lovely city. I've been there several times. I want to go back in the future, but there are so many other places I want to go to, like Europe, other than a good old country, France, Spain on a weekend in Paris. But I'll talk about that in other swell. So thanks for coming in here and sharing. Have a good day. Bye

Hi, this is Pro 63. Randy here. Just gonna give you a little bit about my very first air flight travel outside of Canada. Way back in the I believe it was 2002. I was trying to pass my driver's license and failed. I had money saved up to buy a car. This money did not know what to do, so I suggested I take a vacation, so I decided I was going to go to Florida, go over near St. Peterson area called Treasure Island

So we went further away from Times Square, came up the elevator out of the train station upstairs, outside made our way north. We did find a restaurant that was open and it was on the second floor overlooking Times Square. So we weren't out in the monster crowd where we had a window seat and the four of the people that were with were drinking except for myself. So that evening I got my pop in French fries or hamburger or whatever
So that's my story for now started sharing with you. I still love travel. Haven't done any in a while. Probably been almost a year since I've done any travel other than a short trip to Niagara Falls, which is not far from my house, but that's it have a good day. Bye

My dream travel would be to travel in Europe, or in Nanny Beach, in America, or in Palawan, Philippines, and ellioto

I kind of think I might end up moving up to Japan sometime, but I want to spend a lot of time more like a normal environment, something like kind of see how people live there and stuff a bit more that's kind of what I was planning on doing. And that's probably my dream trip is just hanging out with some cool Japanese people in Japan for a couple of weeks. But yeah, thanks for making the podcast and stuff
