It can be that but it can also be visiting for a brief trip whether it's for vacation, family, work, or to go somewhere new to learn about different cultures.

@Vrubel Nice! 

Any words of advice when it comes to travelling to different places?

@soos_mite_ah

Well, I have lived in two countries and traveled to one. But I have been exposed to 4 cultures for a long time, plus 1 that was an unplanned trip.

"Traditional" road, city and sightseeing trips have their value, they definitely can be meaningful and a lot of fun. But I recommend most to go to places where you can experience life and nature at its rawest. So no luxuries that serve as a barrier between you and the elements. The memories of time spent in those wild places will always stay with you the most vividly.

Wow @Vrubel, do you backpack or you go to these countries on holiday? I'm guessing you are European.

Yes, I'm based in Europe, In a small country, so crossing the border to enjoy a city trip or holiday is very easy.

After finishing my studies I backpacked for three months in South America. Fell in love and went back to the continent whenever I could.

   Landscape painting? What style and what medium do you use?

I prefer alla prima, acrylic is way to go. It's the most versatile and non-toxic. Also ideal for experimenting because it's affordable.
