Already voted. Right now I travel once in every 2 - 3 months. Ideally would like to travel 12 months in a year every year.

Ronak.

Varies a lot. Some years not at all, sometimes two or three times in a year.

I'm not unhappy to stay at home!

Voted. Have to increase this.

It is sad that I have travelled more outside India than inside it.

Those that travel every few months, how do you find new places... or do you repeat some places that you really like?

Like Nick, I'm not unhappy staying at home either! However, I travel every year to escape the heat and am away nearly three months at that point.
Short trips to Delhi a couple of times a year are also in order.

And sometimes the odd couple of days' excursion to a new place - but this is more in the winter as it's just too hot for me driving much the rest of the year.

I try to make a one month trip at least two times a year, besides that I have to travel a lot for work but that doesn't really count as travelling to me.

I like returning once in a while to places I've been before. A first visit is always like discovering the place and all the fuzz that goes with that and a second or third visit is sometimes more relaxing as you know where to go if you need something.

Normally I would like to do at least one loooong trip and additionally some short trips/weekend trips every year. Due to circumstances I wasn't able to do the loooong trip since many years (being self-employed, having to stick to school holidays because of daughter, etc.)

India will be my first long trip since 6 years and hopefully from now on I will get back to travelling more regular in the coming years again. I really need that.

Good poll. I took the 'every year' option.

I try to get away for at least 1 month every year:

2003 - 2 months (Europe)
2004 - 1 month (Europe)
2005/2006 - 9 months (Middle East/India)
2007 - 1 month (Morocco)
2008 - 2 months (Middle East/Caucasus)

I also try to take at least one city break (4 days to 1 week) during the year (since 2003 to Amsterdam 3 or 4 times, Prague, New York, Edinburgh, Copenhagen, Rome twice). With Ryanair, it's often cheaper to get to mainland Europe from Dublin than it is to take a train across Ireland.

I'm planning to spend the next 12 months travelling in north Africa, the Middle East and India.

Well the world's a big place, no shortage of new places to try. Personally, I have very little interest in travelling in Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, or East Asia at the moment. I'm happy concentrating on the area that stretches from Spain to India.

Ideally, when planning a trip, I like to include some places I've already visited, as well as new places.
