To tell you the truth, I can’t go on a trip as often as I would like because of economic problems. But if I will be a rich person in the future, I would like to go to long trips more often. Actually, if I had a chance, I prefer to visit some places by walking because I really like the sense of feeling lost yourself among the streets and between the buildings. I really like it because I enjoy taking pictures and while you are using transport or you can’t take pictures, I really enjoy walking. I would like to visit some places with my friends. Actually, it’s not just about visiting a place. We have a chance to share a moment. This is really cherished for me. I really pay attention to spend effective time with an important person for me. But sometimes I go to a place alone and in this case, I feel like that I just focus on the city. For example, I can understand better than visiting my family or friends because my distraction is not a break. I can really focus on the buildings, streets, people, everything around there. For example, I really like to stop and observe everything. However, when I go to a place with someone, I couldn’t have this chance because they want to keep running and walking. In this case, sometimes traveling alone can be good.
