Travel (Outside of Canada)

When I was a 26 years old, I quit my hard job and went on a trip to Europe for a month alone. I have been to Spain, Italy, France, and Greece. Especially, I have liked artistic, beautiful Barcelona and pleasant, free Ibiza in Spain. In Ibiza, I swam, ate, went to the club, and repeated. A lazy life with the beaches and the sea was like heaven. Besides, I liked to go to the club, so I liked Ibiza so much. I decided to go back to Ibiza.

When I was a 29 years old, I was working in the operation room. I was so tired, I wanted to go away. I had only 5 days open. If I left for Ibiza, it would take 2 days to come and go. But I left to Ibiza.  I met a small tanned Korean woman who I found on the Internet. She spoke English very well. We travelled separately during the day and went to a club together at night. I loved lying on the peaceful, small, sand beach doing nothing. Also, I enjoyed the foods. To be honest, it wasn't a special taste, but I felt the food was fresher and better than Korean food. In addition, I saw a famous female Korean comedian in the club. It was three days, but travel in Ibiza was so good and  just playing around.

Now, I’m married, have a baby, and I'm too old to play like I was young. I like calm, relaxing, and family travel. I would like to go on a cruise to Disneyland (I have been to the Disney Sea in Japan, it was so nice. I have heard the Disneyland in Orlando is so fantastic, so I want to go there when my son becomes a junior) and a quiet island. But it will be too expensive to go. So I will probably go to my hometown Korea, or a  cozy, warm spa nearby.
