I could give you five pages of travel agencies that offer travel opportunities; however, you can travel the Internet for any kind of travel you wish to do: group travel, single travel, couple’s travel, student travel, etc. The agencies are there.
Embrace every opportunity. I wholeheartedly urge people to travel while THEY CAN. DO NOT PUT IT OFF too long, you might not be able to travel by then.
I will travel around the world. AM I AFRAID…NO WAY!!! TOO EXPENSIVE—I PLANNED FOR IT. TOO DANGEROUS— NEVER! Danger is around every corner and I am not going to look for it.
