Seeing our own country is definitely wonderful, but seeing other countries is a totally different experience. I know, because I've done both. Other countries are *different* in pretty much everything. Its very interesting to get out and see them, and get to know how life is in other parts of the world. America is a beautiful country, and I would definitely LOVE to see more of it, but at the same time, I still like to travel overseas, and see other countries too. I do get sick from flying, but if I take my medicine before going, I sleep in the plane, and the experience in another land is, in my opinion, worth the few.......or many hours of travel. Its true about seeing *history* in places like Europe. I remember reading so much about Yorkshire, the Vikings, all of that stuff in history, for years after years in school. I never took much interest in it, until I saw it in real life. When we last went to England, my uncle took us to see York. Its amazing, because it feels like you went many centuries back in time. The city is still old and *ancient*, the buildings 800-900 years old. I thought it was cool to get to see that in real life. Its not something I could see here at home.

So, personally, I love to travel in my own country and see different places here, but along with that, I still like to travel to OTHER countries, because they are just so different and its a totally different experience going abroad.
