With all of the unrest in the world, does anyone else find you are traveling closer to home these days? I already had my time overseas years ago and I'm happy I did because I don't see myself going back any time soon. No matter what is going on, there is always a risk when traveling, but things are just a little too chaotic for my blood right now.
I'm only traveling closer to home due to economic necessity. "Abroad" is a big area and there are plenty of places to go see that are still safe. I personally wouldn't be going to the Middle East anytime soon though.
I have not had the financial ability to travel very far from home, let alone overseas. However, if the opportunity presented itself I would not turn it down. I have a friend who has been abroad in the Middle East as an English teacher for years and has had no problems.
I'm more afraid of the TSA and travel issues at home than I am about issues abroad. I've never yet travelled to the worst areas, and though I hope to at some point in the future, I prefer to keep safe for now.
I am traveling closer to the home due to financial problems i want to travel all over the world specially European countries because travel is my passion and i want to see the whole world.
