  • I've only really just started travelling by myself as I'm 21 and a student and don't have a lot of money. Last year I went to Glasgow twice, England, San Diego (paid for my 21st yay!), and Paris. I live in NI so Glasgow and England are 'holidays' to me :D

    We go on 2 a year, 1 long haul and 1 around a 4/5 hour flight. Wish we could go on more...
  • Last year went 1 short haul and one in the uk.

    Only just started travelling now I have a family. Hoping to go on another short haul this year and got center parcs in January possibly might fit something else in before then

    I'm sure it will be ok for you SnowBelle, whereabouts are you going? We went to Yasmin Hammamet a couple of years ago and loved it :)

    Last year I went to Amsterdam, Germany, Austria, & Italy :D They were only cheap-ish coach trips as I didn't feel 100% to fly. The only reason that I did so much travelling was because I was being treated for cancer the year before & I was too ill to travel. Usually it's only the one long-haul flight for me.

    Well in 2010 I went to:

    - New Zealand - tail end of 4 week trip coincided with the new year, so only really spent 5 days there in 2010
    - Dubai - 2 day stopover on way home from NZ (included with flight price)
    - Italy - 5 days holiday
    - Northern Ireland - 5 day holiday
    - Canada - one week holiday
    - about 10 weekend UK trips too - London, Birmingham, Bristol, Cornwall etc

    This year

    - I'm taking a 4 week holiday in Oct/Nov to go to Hong Kong, Oz, NZ and Singapore :)
    - I have been to Birmingham on a weekend trip already, and am going there again at Easter
    - 2 trips to London are booked for summer time too

    I also go away with work too. 3 x per year to Brecon for 4 nights, and I'm off to London for 3 nights later this month.

    In 2012:

    - 2 weeks to Bahamas in March for a wedding
    - 1 week in Mexico for another wedding!

    So, in answer to your question, lots!!

    Well I recently stopped being a skint student and got a proper job with a decent holiday allowance so I'm hoping to go fairly often. Got a weekend in Edinburgh planned next month and a week in Berlin in July/August booked already. Hoping to add another wee city break to that at some point too. :)
