Listening

   1. Peter
   2. Ann

   Peter

   Another city break? I wouldn’t bother. The whole idea of taking a holiday is getting away from it all. For me, nothing compares to a camping holiday. I wouldn’t miss the opportunity of being close to nature for the world. Staying in a tent, sleeping under the stars, lying on exotic beaches and swimming in crystal clear waters are the perfect ingredients for an ideal holiday.

   Ann

   Culture exploration is a must when I travel abroad. I’m particularly interested in ancient architecture, so I prefer staying in historic cities. Last year, I went to Prague. Just walking along the busy streets in the Old Town and visiting gothic temples and art galleries was amazing. If you’ve never been there, it’s well worth a visit!

   John

   Some of my friends absolutely love going travelling with a rucksack and staying at hostels, but backpacking is just not my cup of tea. I’m a fan of the urban lifestyle and I just can’t do without my comforts. When on holiday, I always stay in a top-class hotel. The perfect evening out consists of a visit to a superb theatre and then dinner in a stylish restaurant. And before I leave my holiday destination, I make sure I’ve visited all the trendy shops in the area to buy gifts for family and friends!
