Actually for covid is very difficult to travel in plane but i'm honestly i've traveled only three times in my life but obviously i would like traveling more times in plane in my life and i would like or would love to visited Australia, New Zealand, Sweden or Netherlands and more countries. One day, one day.......

I travel 1 time every 2 years. I would like to visit Ireland, France, Italy, Egypt, China, Russia and Japan.

I travel by plane not very often. It is about one per year. I like to visit Japan, Spain, maybe Norway. Also I want to go to Eurotrip by bike.

I traveled by plane only one time in my life. It was in the summer 2020, before pandemic of course. I traveled to Trujillo by plane for job, and this experience was grateful and amazing. I had planificated to travel to others countries in 2020, but It wasn't possible by the blockdown. When the pandemic finish, I will travel again.

I am travel inside my country to visit my grand mother

I love traveling. I travel about once two years by plane or more than that before. I was planning to travel around Oceania but cover-19 prevented me from going. I'd love to go Oceania especially south pacific islands after the situation settled.

I travel by plane every year with my family, I'd like to visit different countries such as Colombia, Spain, Netherlands, England and some others.
