Joanne: When I'm on holiday, I usually like to spend the first few days relaxing at the beach or with a book next to a swimming pool, but then after a while I start to get a little bit bored. And so that's when I like to visit an interesting town or maybe a museum or an art gallery.
Jo G: So, what I love to do on holiday is really explore a new place, walking around a lot and visiting all the interesting historical and cultural places. And eating! Eating is important!
Jo B: The kind of holiday I really like at the moment is going back to my hometown. Back to Cornwall, the town called Penzance, where I grew up. And I really enjoy taking my family back there to visit places where I grew up, to meet some of my old friends and for them to meet their grandpa and spend time with him. So for me, holidays at the moment are about going back, going back in time, if you like, and going back to my home, my hometown.
Kirk: When I'm travelling, I like to go to a place and kind of stay in an area for a while and explore it. I don't really like hopping from city to city. I'd rather get to know a place, and of course you've got to stay there for a bit to do that.
Joanne: I've never ever been to the USA, even though I've always seen it in films and on TV programmes. So, yeah, that's somewhere I'd like to visit and see for myself. Maybe New York or San Francisco.
Jo B: I would really love to visit Mozambique if I get the chance one day. The reason for this, I studied Spanish and Portuguese, and as part of my Portuguese course we read a book that was from Mozambique. And I'm just really curious as to what the country's like. I almost went there when I graduated to teach English. And I didn't, I went to Brazil. But I've always [been] left with the doubt of what it would be like to travel to Mozambique and to experience the country.
Jo G: I would love to visit Mexico. The art, the history, the ancient history is just so interesting and attractive to me. The food as well. So, yeah, Mexico. If I ever get the chance, I would love to go.
Kirk: Gosh, there are loads of places I'd like to go. I'd really like to go back to Nepal. I haven't been there in 20 years, and I spent a long time there in the past. And I'm sure it's changed loads, and I'd really like to see it. It's a beautiful place with great people.

I like to visit historical places and monuments. Once I visited some places of Rajasthan and Uttarpradesh. In Rajasthan I visited Ajmer there is a dargah of Sufi Sant. And then I also visited Tajmahal at Agra. Tajmahal is such a beautiful building I ever seen. I also like shopping at local market and I love to taste different types of cuisine.
Hello. I find what you say very interesting. I have known people that are not attracted by religious monuments but I think that the most important thing in these places is the historical worth.
When I'm on holiday, I usually stay at home and lay on the sofa, eat fish and chips and watching funny videos)
Hi Paritet,
Me too - to some extent! On holiday I like to relax and sometimes the most relaxing thing is to stay in a comfortable place and have nice food. What places do you like to visit?

Hi Erick,
I love the idea of visiting a Magic Town - it sounds really exciting! I've been to a few of the places on the list of Magic Towns in Mexico and I enjoyed visiting them all. It was a long time ago, but one that stands out in my memory was San Cristobal de las Casas. I loved its culture and beatiful, colourful achitecture.
I hope you'll have the opportunity to visit Egypt, Brazil and Madrid one day!
Best wishes,

What I love to do on holiday is really swim across the sea, relaxing at the beach. I usually like to listen to music.
I have never ever been to Australia, and I would love to visit Melbourne or Sydney, to spend time there and explore them.
Since I would rather get to know those places, I should get to stay there for a bit to do that.
Hi User_1,
It sounds as if you enjoy relaxing holidays! I hope you'll have the opportunity to go to Australia one day. I've never been there either, but it sounds amazing.

Hi Hsu Myat Thwin,
I hope you'll be able to visit Paris one day! I lived there for eight years so I know it pretty well. There are so many beautiful buildings, interesting museums and other things to see and do. Just wandering around the city and soaking up the unique atmosphere is a must! I'd definitely recommend it for a holiday.
