Where I would like to travel?

Hi guys!!!!!Well... about where I want to travel, it's a difficult decision.May be, I would like to travel to a different country, such as Germany, The Netherlands, Canada...  I think that it's better to travel far from your country as many rutines we do, in other places people don't. I prefer to travel outside because of that and other reasons, such as you meet new people and you learn about their daily life, and rutines.

Making a summery, travel to another countries is very good because it makes you evolutionate as a person.
