@torunn saidPlanners, you know those who sit down and chart every bit of the touring experience and are unable to NOT stick to that plan.
What people...?
@great-big-stees saidI'm a bit of both I think - but I refuse to stick anything anywhere.

@torunn saidI have to admit that I do stick to a "general" plan...you know, I'm leaving from here and heading there but since there are so many ways to get from here to there, let's just "go with the flow".

@great-big-stees saidIn that case I agree, as I'm often lost in new places, and that takes me inadvertently in various directions.

@torunn saidBy doing that and eventually "finding your way", doesn't that stick with you?

@great-big-stees saidSometimes perhaps, but I'm used to living without a mental compass. So I mostly have to stick to roads and places where I have been Before.

@torunn saidWell, my dear torunn, if that works for ya, stick with it.

@torunn saidI don't know if sticking to that is good. If you don't explore and go off the roads you know and to other places I think you are missing out on things in life.

@very-rusty saidI know what you mean - I travel abroad a couple of times every year but preferably to places I feel comfortable with. I usually stick to big cities where people speak a language I know, such as English.

@torunn saidI see why you stick to that, hard when you only speak one language. Not impossible to communicate with people now. Many people speak English as a second language. It is fun getting to know different cultures and races, I know I've been fortunate that way.

@very-rusty saidEnglish is my second language and German my third. My first is Swedish of course. 🙂

@torunn saidWell this got kind of sticky for me. You actually speak 1 more language than I do. 😉

@very-rusty saidI practically never speak German now, but I used it frequently in my early years as secretary, so if I refresh it, all might come back. And as we stick to subtitles in all foreign films and TV programmes in Sweden, we never really lose touch.
