It isn't the imagined desire that is significant, but the actual fact of having done it.

Well plenty of desire to travel, and have traveled a lot (missing just one continent), but lately too damn busy.

1) Yes 2) Yes 3) Yes 4) Yes
I sleep in hotels between 150 and 200 nights each year (well, cheap hotels in cheap countries, I'm no Donald Trump). But I don't want to be a citizen of the world. Just human. Citizenship is meaningless at best, and stupid at worst, to my eyes.

I'd say yes to all four, although I don't have deep pockets to travel to several countries at once.

Lol i think you watch too much fox news there are 200 countries and none of them are terrorist countries just angry people living in some that end up doing foolish things when they go to other countries to a country being invaded is the invaders that are the terrorists. so many times when america goes to other countries they are fighting the natives while the natives are fighting their terrorisers(usa) if you really think 200 countries hate a single country you are wrong on so many levels did you know north korea, russia and china (the top 3 countries fox news gets angry about) actually have KFC, iphones and such. yep people think russia are terrorists but the world loves their smirnoff vodka, and they are the main country actually helping with the international space station. so please dont watch fox news because it seems its making you afraid to experience the world out side your country i think its time you start planning on visiting some different countries. it might enlighten you

I agree with palle on one point though; inadequate freedom. Unless you're traveling to places like North Korea, you still have to respect the local cultures, some to which might sound ridiculous. For instance, the thumbs-up is considered giving the middle finger in some Middle East countries. In Japan, it's unethical to eat while walking. Also if things go South, locals tend to receive better treatment than tourists/ foreigners.

1. Yes, but partially. I have ID card, but AFAIK, some countries don't allow it and I would need to get passport before travelling to that country. 2. Yes. 3. No, unfortunately I don't have much free time, especially to make longer trips. Offcourse, I can do it on vacations, but sometimes I just have different plans. 4. Yes.

1. No, it expired (see 3). 2. Yes. 3. No. 4. Yes. It isn't the imagined desire that is significant, but the actual fact of having done it.
Disagree, in the context of the question 'Are you a citizen of the world?' This I think is much more important as a psychological question than as merely a list of how many countries you have visited. We are one species on one planet, and a huge proportion of the trouble and conflict that arises between people is due to staking a claim to a certain patch of land. It is all everybody's. We are all citizens of the world. The sooner we all realise this, the better - fewer wars, greater compassion, and perhaps even a meaningful and coordinated response to climate change.

I love this topic because it's structured!
1. Current Passport allowing them to travel outside of their country
I can travel anywhere in Europe and in some countries for a limited amount of time without a visa
2. Financial means to travel outside of their country
Yes, I am very lucky to say this.
3. Time to travel outside of their country (free time away from work)
Yes, also very lucky however I would have some pressure on myself thinking I should be doing something else. It's our social responsibility isn't it?
4. Desire to travel outside of their country Switzerland's Crypto Valley I am coming for you baby!

Well, not exactly Intention was to leave that part open. I am equally curious about people who never traveled - whats stopping them - desire, ability (time, financial or passport limitations) Same applies for people who have traveled. Personally after spending a lifetime of travel for business and pleasure I still enjoy it and largely have the means, except for some recent time constraints.

Lol Interesting point of view. I never really though of it this way. Having traveled to countries with oppressive regimes and riddled with security concerns, I still met a lot of wonderful, amazing, interesting and compassionate people, seen a lot of amazing sites, felt a lot of history and culture... Its those people and those experiences (and some freaking amazing food) that made travel totally worth it.

Lol Just because I want to go abroad, it doesn't mean I want to go to North Korea or Syria. Many countries have perfectly sufficient freedoms and safety levels, and my opinion is that it is a good thing to expand your horizons and experience new cultures. But this doesn't mean I want to travel to a war zone or a brutal dictatorship. However, if I had the courage, it might be good to go to those places to gain a better perspective on how lucky I am to live in the West, and how many people around the world suffer in dangerous areas and under oppressive regimes. It is very easy to live in a bubble and not consider for example the estimated 2 billion people who don't even have access to clean water.

Nowadays people can travel and work away from home thanks to the internet if they are freelancers of course! but there are still so many slaves working every day in the same office, thinking that that is the only way to do things!
The new slavery is working doing the same thing every day in the same place.

In Japan, it's unethical to eat while walking.
It used to be like that in England. If fact, I once gave up a girl friend because she used eat ice cream cones whilst walking in the streets. Now people eat everywhere, even when shopping in supermarkets, and they throw their litter on the floor. It is not an improvement, and it is just one indication of lower moral standards I believe it indicates a lack of consideration for others and the environment, and probably is the result of low self-esteem.
