A lot of people tell me they've had the opportunity to travel outside the US, but they're afraid of planes or afraid of the plane to crash. some people have not had any opportunities. Whether or not you have, tell me your experience. I personally am from Paris, and i travel outside the US every 6 months. i can't stand staying in this country too long. it's sickening.

Personally, I've been to Rome, Milan, London and Madrid, and am planning a trip next May to Japan.
I think it is a real shame more Americans don't take the opportunity for international travel. It gives you a great perspective on the world. And all politics aside, I don't see how the United States can be 'sickening.' It is really no different than any other country, and actually has a lot to offer. Except soccer. We could really do with a larger soccer fanbase.

If you ARE a US citizen you are good to go as long as you don't have any outstanding warrants for felonies. If you do, you may want to consult a lawyer. If not...Have a great trip! If you are currently NOT a US citizen and have a felony conviction, you can leave the US. Getting back in is a whole other story. All Resident Aliens and Visa holders have their id's scanned upon entry back in to the US. If there is anything that appears on your record you can be escorted directly to jail until you have a hearing before an immigration judge that would decide if you can stay or be deported back to your home country. To avoid this, before you leave the country, you could contact an immigration attorney to send a request to the FBI to have them run your criminal record. You will need to get fingerprinted at a local police station. You send the finger print card with a request to the FBI to release your records. If nothing shows up you should be OK to travel and re-enter the US. This is not a guarantee that you could re-enter safely and you should seek legal council on what to do. Also, depending on the crime and when it was committed, and where it was committed, the local police station that processed the arrest may not have sent the information to the FBI. This is why you need to check with the FBI first. You may be worrying for nothing. If you are a resident alien/visa holder and DO request said records there is the risk that you may be opening yourself up to investigation. The US government does not want you here if you have a criminal record, thanks to changes in the law in 1996, and could then move to deportation procceedings regardles of your traveling. This request through a good immigration attorney may help thwart that. The reason I even mention the whole FBI check ahead of time is that non-citizens get caught at the border entry points because, as of fairly recently the FBI Database and the Immigration database work together where as before this was not the case.

yes, I was able to go to the UK when I graduated high school. a friend and her family were going and asked me along. it was great. the flight was long, but the trip was so interesting. I met lots of really nice people and saw so much. I'm so glad I had the opportunity.

I haven't
Because I'm too poor
But if I ever got the chance, I'd take it in a heart beat
I would lovelovelove to travel Europe after highschool
But I doubt it's going to happen.
