wow ... WOW!... uve travelled almost as much as my dad has ... how old are u? thats alot of travelling, i just wish ive been to half the places uve been to, so many interesting places man!! u should be proud! what do u work kui, oh and for the record, travelling while being high doesnt count!

how did u like jerusalem kui? id love to go there and i was thinking of going tere witha a very good friend of mine whos of palestinian origin, palestine before the war was stunning thats what i know, places like haifa (jericho) and jerusalem were breathetaking!

u should honestly come to jordan, and if ur into traditional arabic culture then u should probably go to syria and parts of lebanon though now isnt the safest time to go to.

I'm 32 years old and am a private investor in the stock market managing hedge funds for a few partners/friends of mine. Know what hedge funds are??? Well some people call it shady trading mostly because it is totally a private venture between two or more private investing parties. But when I was younger my travels were with my father who was a attache for the US State Dept. He quit doing that some time ago and now works mostly on his farm now. But yeah been many places you know. Jerusalem is awesome but the whole division of the city really sucks. One day both sides can live in peace. Then we can both go there without any anxiety. Yeah one day Jordan will cool for me to go.

dam uve been to a lot of places!!! i thought i traveled a lot until i read that. but im 14, so i got a lot of traveling left to do.

The best place I went to was Malta. I was there for six weeks this year in summer. I even visited the Milan CLub which is the biggest Milan Club in the World.

I also loved Calabria. I am Australian with a Italian/Maltese decendent.

Well as I said some was with my father on his diplomacy trips. So this all happen when I was a young teenager myself. When I turned 16 years old, I graduated from school early and so did missionary work for my Church, going to South America for a year before my parents felt me old enough to go to University. If it wasnt for that I would not have had the chance to go to many places in South America such as Brazil. BTW very big country Brazil is!
Now as an adult trying to make a success out of myself, I hardly travel for vacation. The only travelling I do now is for business and trust me it isnt really "travelling" in any way as if on vacation or holiday.

Well I know you're only 14 kiddo, but here's my advice. Try to see as much as you can before you come an adult. It gets harder to travel because you will be accountable for a lot of things when you come of age. So enjoy your youth and dont be too anxious to grow up too fast.

Wow thats alot of travelling Kui.. Ive done alot of travelling my self compared to ppl that do not travel as a job, the best place ive been to was Marbella, Malaga .. I kind of liked Verona's mountains as I went there skiing.. I will be going to Cancun for spring so I expect that to be a bomb, and I also love my home Kuwait, but ppl who visit it never seem to have fun because they dont know where to go..

Kui, I believe if you go to Kuwait you will find a lot, and i mean a lot of business partners to do with investment as Kuwait is very well known for being the best in investments - especially in the Middle east..

Where I have been before:

NY, Oslo, Malmö, Kopenhagen, Frankfurt, Paris, Except south, almost everywhere in Italy, Prag, Vien, Budapest, Bangkok, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and that's it. Whenever I find time, I try to go to Como, that's the place I love. I can go there to live for the rest of my life.
