If you are anything like me and love Sport and Travel then why not combine the two? A few years my wife and I went to Euro 2004 for the European Football Championships (soccer for any American readers) and although my wife had no interest in the football, she jumped at the chance of going to Lisbon, Portugal.

If you can organise for friends also to go, then any people who want to travel to the interesting locations where sport may take you, do not necessarily have to go to the sport.

It depends a lot of course on what country you are from and what sports you are more likely to be interested in but events such as the football World Cup (there is only one as American Football is only played in the States), the Olympics and sports such as cricket make for great holidays abroad.

: 2012 World Cup

The 2010 World Cup in South Africa with roughly 200 countries already participating in qualifification is an event I recommend you go to if you get the chance. There are some security fears but during the WC policing is likely to be at its highest,so what better time to experience a bit of South Africa? For tickets for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa it is best to keep an eye on the official site.
