i usually travel by plane twice a year and i usually take it to go in northern italy, to my older sister, because she lives in northern italy. I live in southern of Italy, instead. i have never been out of my country but i would like to visit a lot of countries such as Canada, Argentina, Australia or to visit Paris or London or Iceland.

I usually travel by plane in summer with my family. The city I like the most is Seoul. It has many landscape and fresh air. However, I always have to come to airport before 3 hours, because I won't get on the plane if I come on time. Even if, I still like moving by plane, It is known as a fastest transportation, so I can save a lot of time.

I have travelled by plane twice and that too within the country. It is my dream to visit and explore the whole world so I would like to visit at least Switzerland, France, Canada, The Netherlands, Belgium and many more.

I travel by plane about every two years. Some of my travel had been to another countries and some of them to the cities of my country. I has traveled to Swiss, Chaina, Turkey and Saudi Arabia by plane.
