1. After graduation, I'm going to fly to Europe and spend a couple of weeks traveling on my own. I'll be in Germany and France, mostly. There are so many things I want to see and do: museums, restaurants. cafes, all that stuff. I know my parents worry about me traveling alone, but I just prefer it that way. I guess it's because I want to be free. On those group tours. everything is planned for you.

2. I'm taking a trip to New Zealand. I hear it's really quiet down there, and the people are really friendly. I want to go to small towns that don't get a lot of tourists. Then I can just check into a cheap hotel and do my own thing. I'm really looking forward to this trip. I guess it's because I need to go somewhere quiet. The city where I live is so noisy, and the people are rude.

3. When I'm in London, I want to sec as many plays and concerts as I can. I also want to go to all the big museums and an galleries there. Basically, I want to see and do everything! I really want to make the most of the week I'll be there. I guess it's because I need some excitement. My life has been so boring this year.

4. I'm going to go to Thailand this winter. I don't want to spend any time in Bangkok because I've been there before. This time. I just want to relax on a nice, quiet beach. I can swim and snorkel every day if I want to, but I don't have to do anything. I just want to relax. I guess it's because I've been so busy at work recently.

5. I'm spending a month in Mexico. It's going to be great I don't want to spend any time in Mexico City, though. There are too many tourists there. Instead, I want to go to one of those small, old colonial towns. I guess it's because I want to practice my Spanish. I studied the language for three years in college, and I think I'll get to use it a lot more in a small town.

6. My friend and I are going to Australia. It's perfect for us because Australia has a lot of cheap hotels for backpackers. They're great places to meet other young people and travelers from all over the world. I'm really excited about this trip. I guess it's because the beaches are great there. I heard the east coast of Australia has some of the best surfing in the world.
