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?
I like the idea of going on holiday but its also very anxious to think about
I worry about the heat
Worry about large gatherings of people
Don't like the noise on holiday parks
Don't like different places
But I dolike holidays. I like the seaside and I love seeing seagulls and having ice cream
I dislike the hassle of flying and air travel as much as the hassle of non-direct trains from Manchester to Holyhead or not being able to get a direct train to Liverpool and jump on a ferry to Dublin (all the way from the Mersey up the Liffey at high tide) or into Dun Laoire for the DART trains into Dublin - once in Ireland, connecting with our country’s history and traditional Irish culture and heritage and of course, our Catholic faith and with my family in Rural Ireland - I’m watching developments with the high speed rail tunnel from Holyhead to Dublin and thier newer DART underground as alternatives to air travel so these look very promising
