I've been to Europe 3 times. But only started that type of travel a few years after I finished university. My parents only took day trips with their big family. Just couldn't afford it. But it was....a big deal for us to go to Chinatown in Toronto when we lived 100 km. west of Toronto in a German-based smaller city.

Travel any further was somewhat foreign to my parents anyway....except they did do their big trip: they immigrated to Canada from mainland China in the 1950's. I guess that was their life-changing "adventure".

I have never been to Asia yet and right now, I'm losing the motivation. Wrote up about it

Living in Canada or the U.S. which are huge countries, really does mean a ton of opportunities to learn and see alot also.
