Below
are
some
reasons
why
you,
the
readers
of
OK
Cradley
might
be
interested
in
the
travel
section
of
our website
Both
our
children
spent
time
travelling
around
the
world before going to university .
We
started
travelling
after
we
both
qualified
as
sub
aqua
divers.
Our
first
open
water
dive
was
in
Mexico
then
we
dived
in
Indonesia,
Philippines
and
Micronesia.
Afterwards
we
continued
travelling
and
now
have
been
to
many
different
countries
all
over
the world.
How do we do it?
Usually we have travelled with our rucsacks and have
organised our trips using the Lonely Planet as a guide.
We book the first night as we need to know where we
are staying as we are usually very tired after long flights.
Most of our major holidays have been for about 5 weeks
as this gives us time to see a country (one country) well.
Why
do
we
do
it?
We
both
like
to
see
a
country,
meet
the
people
and
learn
about
their
culture,
way
of
life
etc.
When
one
meets
people
who
have
such
a
poor
standard
of
living,
it
makes
us
really
appreciate
what
we
have.
We
have
often
said
young
people
should
see
how
the
other
half
live
and
would
then
know
how
lucky
they
were.
We
love
talking
to
people
and
in
one
case
while
talking
to
a
young
man
on
a
train
in
India,
he
5
years
later
contacted
us
in
England,
stayed
with
us
and
we
then
stayed
with
his
family
in
Nepal
in
a
small
village.
In
Nepal
we
met
a
WHO
worker
who
stayed
with us then we stayed with his family in Alaska.

put

to

their
experiences
and
are
happy
to
help

any
advice
