Travel Questionnaire - questions and answers about travel

I found a "Travel Questionnaire" full of questions about travelling. We've answered all the questions, and it would be great if you could join in and answer them too, either in the comments section or on your own blog.

Questions and answers on travelling

I found a 'Travel Questionnaire' on the Norwegian blog Randombloggen, which in turn found it on the American site Fathomaway. Here I have translated it from English (and Norwegian). Feel free to copy it for your blog and fill in your own answers!

Favourite destinations?

Ukraine, Poland, Iceland, New Zealand

Wishful thinking?

Japan, Samarkand, Victoria Falls, Peru

Strange travel rituals?

Constant blogging maybe ... haha

Relaxing on the plane?

Music in your ears or a good book. Peter can sometimes fall asleep even before the plane takes off ...

Travel agency or book yourself?

Book yourself! Prices are usually better, and you may be lucky enough to find small and personalised hotel gems...

See everything or take it easy?

Preferably both! We are curious and want to see everything, but if we have time, we want to relax too...

Driving or travelling?

Travelling by campervan is a freedom, but otherwise we like to go by train ...

Travel hero?

Anyone who dares to leave their comfort zone and challenge their dreams, such as the family that sails around the world and writes on their blog. Mary of Rövarhamn

Strangest observation while travelling?

That the most unexpected people can speak Swedish, like the muscular African in the bar in Mombasa, where everyone was black except us. Or the black burka-clad woman with all the children at the border between Kenya and Tanzania.

Favourite hotel?

The motorhome! Otherwise we liked the cosy little The Pari-Pari in Langkawi.

Dreaming of a meal at?

Puzata Hata fast food outlet in Ukraine - best fast food ever! Here you can pick small dishes, like soups and creamy salads, have a beer, and then pay almost nothing.

Best comfort in hotels?

Pool is nice after a long day in the city!

Best travel memory from childhood?

We rarely travelled abroad, but used to ski in Sweden. So it was incredibly exciting when we went skiing in the German Harz one winter. From my hotel window I saw the wall between East and West and the soldiers with their guns... A bit scary, but I was so curious to see more of the world!

Wherever I travel, I look?

Local food, in shops and restaurants

When I arrive in a new place, I get to know it by?

Talk to people we meet (Peter is especially good at it)! We like to go to restaurants and pubs where the locals go, and ask around to find out which places to choose...

I always take this home with me?

Lots of photos and maybe some pieces of clothing or jewellery?

I never go back to?

Charter trip to the Canary Islands - been there, done that

I am travelling because of?

Curiosity ... and a little restlessness. All the impressions you get when travelling give you perspective and new input. In everyday life, it's easy to get stuck in a stressful rut. When we travel, we get new ideas, which often lead to something we didn't realise before ...
