He enjoys learning about local culture and food by visiting attractions and cafes. Anna and Jon seek off-the-beaten-path destinations where they can immerse themselves in new cultures, even if it means roughing it by backpacking and staying in low-cost lodging. In contrast, Nick prefers luxury vacations where he can relax by the pool and enjoy nice hotels and activities like casinos while tanning.

    Nick

    This summer I went on a cruise around the Caribbean. I’ve got


    expensive tastes so I always live it up, 5-star hotels, casinos and
    limousines. It’s important for me to catch some rays when I’m on
    holiday, I like to come home with a nice suntan. I don’t really like
    having everything planned out on holiday, I prefer to see how the
    mood takes me and make decisions as I go.

    Anna and Jon

    We don’t like going to really touristy places so we always


    choose somewhere which is off the beaten track. Some
    places have been a bit of a culture shock and in others we
    really had to watch our backs, but we’re very adventurous.
    We normally go backpacking or hitchhiking so we have to
    travel light, we only pack the essentials. We don’t have much
    money so we always travel on a shoestring; we normally stay
    in hostels or sleep on peoples’ sofas. We’ve definitely got the
    travel bug; if we’re not travelling then we’re planning the
    next trip.
    Matt

    I’m a real culture vulture; I feel right at home in a museum,


    gallery or historical building. When I go on holiday I like to get up
    at the crack of dawn and really make the most of the time by
    going to as many places as possible. I always find time to savour
    the local delicacies or sit and watch the world go by in a fancy
    café with a good coffee and a guide book.
