Traveling is one of the greatest experiences one can enjoy throughout their lifetime. Learning new cultures and gaining new perspectives across the world are truly priceless.

Share some pics with us of your most ultimate travel experiences around the world!

I'll start off with a safari in Kenya and Tanzania, exploring the far East in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, sky diving in the Swiss Alps and hiking Machu Picchu and Wayna Picchu in Peru.

I'm not a super awesome world traveler but here are some pictures from my trip to Japan early this year. I really want to go back.

This is a 1:1 scale model of a Gundam. It's located on the a large man-made island called Odaiba.

I'm a huge anime nerd so we had to visit Akihabara or Akia for short. This is the mecca for anime. On Sundays, the streets are closed to ease congestion on the sidewalks.

On the train to our next destination. This is considered relatively empty compared to rush hour when people are packed shoulder to shoulder.

Yosemite, Siena, somewhere in Rome, Amsterdam

BMW F22 · 07-06-2016, 06:38 PM

Iceland, Japan

Some places I visited more than once within a year or two. Vietnam, for example, I visited 3-4 times within 15 months for both business and pleasure.

My sister and friends took me for my bday a couple of years ago- simply because I wouldn't stfu about seeing the northern lights for the last five years or so. We almost didn't get to see them. It was overcast during the entire trip but finally on our last night, the aurora levels were super high. I was stalking the aurora forecast anytime I had wifi.

I would most definitely go again. One of our top trips.

Also, I didn't know the game of thrones wall was there- added bonus!

Jordan is safe. There's a ton of hotel/tourist expansion going on in the Dead Sea and Red Sea areas. You should definitely go once your life! Just maybe when it isn't a hundred degrees out like it was the last time i went.

To be honest, people are carrying on with their daily lives. What you see in the media is skewed and danger depends on very specific areas in those countries of conflict.

Trip to the mountains in North India, city called Mussoorie.
