Holidays

Where do you enjoy going for holidays the most and why?
I've gone on a few ski trips to New Mexico but the most enjoyable trip was probably going to Florida last summer. I went to Universal studios, islands of adventure, and disney world. It was really nice and I had a blast.

 

Being at home with family.

 

You would rather stay at home all year than travel to somewhere you've never been for a week or 2? I don't buy it.

 

tenerife during the summer is awesome

 

Iv never been out of my own country but the one bellow me doesn't appeal to much to me anyways but one thing id love to do is go to vegas when im 21. Or go to to Europe one day.

 

2 weeks in a Cottage in Cornwall, surfing, barbecuing and relaxing on the beach every day. I love it. It's just so relaxing and simple. You have so much freedom because the beach and the sea are always there. You can surf whenever you want to go and theres so many different spots, you're pretty much guaranteed to find a good break in any weather conditions. No planning required and it's just so hassle free.

 

To my Uncle's house in Chicago. We go downtown, look at the museums, and then head to the bars afterward for shots. We get juiced then always come back, talk, and watch movies on his 75" TV.

 

Amsterdam or Thailand.

I don't really smoke weed any more but Amsterdam is still an awesome place. I'm going for the third time next month to see Tiesto and meet up with a girl I met out in Thailand, staying in the same hostel as before because the staff are friendly and it's right near the red light district.

Thailand is beautiful. I only got to spend a month there but it was by far the best month of my life. The full moon and half moon parties were absolutely phenomenal, drinking buckets of alcohol, eating shrooms and watching the sunrise on the most beautiful beaches on the planet. I'm planning on going back for a year after I finish University, there's so long to go yet but I'm already excited. A year and a half and I'll be there again .

You've never partied like you have in Thailand. It's not about getting messy, it's that feeling that you've all travelled so far because it's worth it - and you make it worth it. I've got on a plane before to see the friends I met in Asia before and we still see each other regularly.

 

I would really like to return to Japan, because the most of my family lives there.
Being with my family is like one of the best things there is.
My second choice would be Spain because the beach is awesome there.

 

Wow that really does sound awesome. Is surfing difficult to pick up? I would really like to learn.

 

I didn't find it very difficult but it depends on the person. As long as you start off on a big, chunky board with a little bit of knowledge of the technique you should get it pretty fast. I'm self taught and I've managed just fine. It's something that you want to start young though, gets harder to pick up as you get older. Give me a PM if you want any more tips.

 

I really enjoyed the time I spent in Japan, it was only a week though. I found Tokyo to be quite expensive for food and living, but it was expected. I brought back a white PS3 because they don't sell them here in the UK, the official Sony store wouldn't sell me one because I was a tourist so I had to get one from some random shop lol.

A truly beautiful place, I loved seeing stunning modern architecture then looking further into the distance and seeing a temple.

Any places you suggest visiting? I wouldn't mind going clubbing out in Tokyo, I didn't get to do that whilst I was there.

 

Gonzo Joe, have you ever visited America?

 

Only as a child with my family. In a year I'll be 21 so there's no point until then, but I've already saved up the funds to backpack around Asia for as long as possible. I'm going to buy a one-way ticket and only return when I run out of money (I estimate around 4 - 6 months), then it's back to reality... such a horrible feeling returning from travelling. I can't even look at the photos because I miss it so much; the people, the sights, the whole fucking experience is beautiful.

Anyway, when I go to America I'll probably start off in Miami because I have some friends there who have hyped it up big time, it's free accommodation too. Then the plan is a road trip to wherever really, going from hostel to hostel until I decide it's time to go somewhere else. I never stick to plans anyway, it's all about who you meet and then you usually end up travelling together. I've met some of my best friends that way.

I'm always looking for advice, any good places to visit in the states?

 

Best holiday I ever had was probably during summer.
I went with my family to USA. First we went to New York,
then San Francisco, Hollywod, Las Vegas and last we visited Grand Canyon.

 

I really enjoy going camping near a lake where there are fish. And fishing of course.

 

skiing holidays are alot of fun, but can be rather expensive, ive been to france a few times

 

I absolutely love visiting my family in Italy.

 

Varies every year. The last place I went abroad was Tunisia which was nice, but I prefer holidays where I can go off and explore by myself. Money is a bit tight this year but I normally opt for a festival as a getaway place. Beer, live music and great friends, what more could you want!

 

I went outside once.

It was horrible.
