Do you enjoy going abroad and/or travelling within your own country?
I've only been to a few countries in my life, all in Europe.
So, what makes you feel you need to have a 'holiday' in another place from home?
Some of my motivations:
1. Because it's the 'done thing' so I think a part of it was to fit in with the 'crowd'.
2. To experience other cultures and see some beauty in the world (that was Italy).
Against:
1. I hate the journey.
2. I worry about leaving my home untended.
3. I feel deeply disorientated by hotel rooms etc.
4. I feel deeply disorientated by being in 'strange' places.
5. I feel deeply disorientated by the change in routine.
6. I hate heat and don't swim so beach holidays are out.
7. Financial restraints.
I think I get less stressed by travelling in the UK, with knowing I can get home quickly if required.
How about you?
This airport sounds totally horrific to me, even though it's meant to be the 'world's best'.
A nice quiet small airport like Southampton would suit me much better than the total sensory overload of this one:

I’ve traveled via Southampton airport dozens of times for work. I like it because it’s small and straightforward but it’s horrific if you’re flying at a busy time such as the early evening. Many times I have struggled to even find somewhere to sit.
