Do you like to travel? What do you like most about traveling?

Traveling is awesome! My favorite things to do. You get to see cool cities, different cultures, meet different people and experience different climates. I love to travel to different cities but I also love going out into more rural/suburban areas of different countries to get a more in depth feel of that particular country’s culture or way of life. I think being exposed to different cultures opens up your mind for the better, and gives you a better understanding of people. It also teaches a lot about yourself. I have a major sense of adventure and I'm always willing to try new things. Traveling gives me that opportunity.

Traveling to Jerusalem?

- Cost of food. Jerusalem is expensive, but the experience is worth it. If you plan to eat at restaurants for 3 days then exchange a good few hundred USD to NIS.

- Safe transportation. Don't rent a car. Parking in Jerusalem is... competitive. If you're staying for three days then I'd recommend that you take taxis. Like anywhere, beware of taxi drivers who add extra distance for a fast buck. Public transport is affordable and very safe, but taxis are more suitable for tourists who want to go from place to place. Walking through the Old City is an amazing experience and is half the reason why I even go to Jerusalem.

- Almost every hotel in Jerusalem is safe. All I'd say is get a convenient price and check that you're in a good part of Jerusalem in terms of travel distance. Jerusalem Gold is absolutely fine.

- The US Dollar doesn't go quite so far because Israel is as expensive as it is... Jerusalem is a tourist destination so it's even worse. You should feel free to negotiate prices in markets/gift shops.

- Jerusalem is very safe... the place is highly guarded by Israeli security personnel and so trouble is rare. Also the crime rate is less than New York. If you look Western then it's best not to wander into East Jerusalem at night, but often nothing happens. Also don't enter any holy site or religious area with revealing clothing or trousers (religious people occasionally kick a fuss especially if a woman is wearing trousers rather than a long dress).

The good reviews are for real, Jerusalem is a fascinating experience. Just make sure you don't fall into any tourist traps; you can buy herbs and spices back home and Dead Sea products can be found for cheaper if you shop around. Also don't fall into the trap of buying any "holy water" or "holy air".

How often do Americans travel from one part of the U.S. to the other part?

>> How often do Americans travel from one part of the U.S. to the other part?Depends on your definition of “another part.” If it is to another state, I do all the time. I live in Alabama close to the Florida border so I go to Florida often. If you mean to the other side of the country, for me is about twice a year. I have family in the northern U.S., and I live in the deep South. So I make a 1,000 mile (one way) drive to visit a couple times a year.I have been in 46 of our 50 states and traveled a lot when I was in the military. Sometimes flying, sometimes driving.I have found 1,000 miles to be a good cutoff to determine whether I fly or drive. I can drive 1,000 miles in about 16 hours. I have flown those trips, but I rarely save time. One morning I had to leave my house at 04:30 in order to get to the airport in time. When I finally got to my destination after 3 layovers it was after 21:00. Had I drove, I could have made it in close to the same amount of time.But, the U.S. is huge. Driving from Miami, FL to Seattle WA is just about as far as it is from New York to London. I wouldn't care to drive that far.One thing on my bucket list though is to drive to Anchorage, Alaska from Seattle, Washington via Canada (about 1,500 miles.) But, I will be flying to Seattle and then driving from there. I will not make the trip from my home in Alabama to Seattle by car (2,300 miles.) That's too much.

Why is travelling so important in life?

Turn your phone off, forget your mac, pack your bag and move, coz it’s one life, it’s now or never. Traveling is not just about going new places and posting on Instagram, making FB check-ins or updating your status. It is about the feeling of freedom from worldly pleasures, your professional shackles, the cobwebs of responsibilities which keep you occupied like as if that’s the only life you were meant to live, but my friend, that’s not true. Give yourself a break and explore what’s around.I love traveling and like any other Indian parent, my parents are concerned too, about the money I spend, the places I go and with whom I travel, But I still travel because it’s one life. I have not traveled a lot of places but enough of them to experience the silence of mountains, roaring of sea tides, the chilling water of waterfalls touching your bare feet, the mesmerizing beauty of clouded hill tops and the green fields of a distant village soaked in peace and serenity. This is where you might judge me as an unemployed girl with deep pockets, acting like a carefree soul. But that’s not what you think it is, I am just as anybody of you, who belongs to a middle-class family with shallow pockets, told to crack AIEEE, then went on to pursue engineering and now is a software developer in some lesser known firm, like any of you. It is about passion and determination. A lot of you mention these skills as your strength on your resume, highlighting in bold and caps, but do you really feel determined??? If you do then determine to explore places.The reason to travel is not just to go explore new places but to introspect yourself as well. You ponder over your thoughts and loosen up yourself, neither caring about the past nor the future. It’s the present what you live. To some traveling is just recreation and fun, but for others, it is when you feel yourself a free soul. Find who you really are and live for yourself instead of living for others.

Morocco safe for girl traveling alone?

Well Morocco is one of the best places to go if you want to travel to a muslim country it's alot more liberal than some of the rest.

The only concern about you looking Moroccan is with hotels...They may assume your a Moroccan girl, So why isn't she accompanied? Just correct them & show them documents if need be.
Otherwise it will work to your advantage...because blondes & redheads get the most attention.

~Tips~

If you feel safer walking around with someone then I suggest that cause it is safer but if you are walking around by yourself take these precautions.

•Dont wear belly tops, hot pants, mini skirts etc If you do even though it's hot, Morocco is an Islamic country & they will see you as being provocative..you may even offend some....Please dont wear a scarf if your not muslim...Believe me it wont help with unwanted attention.

•Dont carry too much money on you & put it in your belt or somewhere else accessible but to hard for a pick pocket to grab.

•Being a tourist and a girl there is NO way you won't recieve unwanted attention...wear dark sunglasses while walking around so you dont make eye contact...because some guys will take this as an invitation to speak to you...If they do speak to calmy & politely say: No, I am in a rush, thank u.

•Dont stay out after 8pm.

•Dont drink tap water!! only bottled & even then I recommend boiling it as some poor shopkeapers fill the bottles with half tap water. There are certain minerals that are unkown to toxic to a foreigner's stomach..Moroccans have developed an immunity to them & were usually sick at some point as children...Thats why so many tourists in Morocco get diahrea & other nasty symptoms while on holiday :(

•Morocco is a poor country don't flash things like ipod's around...annoying I know, but would you rather it grabed off you in the street?

•Alot of Moroccans understand English...but make sure you learn some important words & phrases in Moroccan arabic as it will help loads.

•Remain calm on the street walk confidently...If your nervous it shows!

•Have somebody pick you up at the airport when you arrive and /train stations etc.

And lastly enjoy yourself...MOST Moroccans are lovely people : )
