Where do you get your inspiration for your travels?

Where do you get your inspiration for your travels?
Is it from seeing pictures in glossy magazines?
From seeing offers in the travel agent's window?
From hearing the tales of others who have traveled?
From the internet? Or from somewhere else?

What inspires you to travel?

All of the above, minus the pictures in a window at a travel agency. I don't come across many of them.

I get my inspiration from the racing schedule and the schedule for my honor society conventions.

Often from documentaries we see on TV. If they look interesting we’ll start looking around on the Internet if it can be done and if the whole region is interesting. If that’s the case, we go for it ...

Ummm... good question. I guess it's a combination, but it's also from my own prejudices, there are places that just attract me, and there are places where I wouldn't go unless someone paid me for that ;), for instance, I doubt I'd ever go to Ukraine...

But what really limits my trips is the budget, if I could afford it, I'd go to the most exotic places, but since that's not possible all the time, I have a lot of fun checking cities with Google Earth too...

Others' opinions are also very important as well. And documentaries... magazines don't inspire me at all though.
