Only do week long abroad holidays every few years.
Usually it's a couple of festivals, a weekend break in london. Then 1-2 weekend breaks abroad on cheap deals.
Although this year hasn't been great and just done a few festivals.

I haven't been away in 7 years and I no longer intend to. Kids have grown up and I'm too old for any of that nonsense now.
Holidays have never ever meant anything to me. I haven't enjoyed a single one of them. Just an excuse to go and spend money for a week of doing bugger all apart from sat next to a pool.

How many times do you go on holiday a year?
One, sometimes twice.
Do you always go abroad?
No.
Perhaps you have one huge holiday abroad and a few mini breaks throughout the year?
Not often.
Where do you normally go?
Somewhere we haven't been before.
With family, friends or both?
Both.
Do you have a fixed budget or do you go with the flow?
Go with the flow.
Just wondering.
I've only ever been abroad on school/university trips. Had a few holidays in the main-land when I was younger with the family. Other than that, I can't remember the last time I went on 'holiday'
First time I flew was actually last year, to Prague. Other than that, I've been to Ireland, France (for a day), and Switzerland.
Plan on travelling in the next couple of years though, so that will make up for it all, and possibly sailing around the Med for a week next year if all goes well.

Where do you work? Quite a lot of holiday!
Self Employed Trainer and Engineering Supervisor. My schedule is thankfully flexible so I can go away as often as possible. I spent practically no money on myself, just the essential bills. What's left I save and put £500 a month to my travelling fund
I seem to be going a fair bit, I have been twice this year, I guess I want to see all the places worth seeing while I am young.
I need to visit South America, Australasia and Japan and maybe Russia to have seen the places I want to see.

do you ever go out of europe?
i pay £500 for a years pitch in st agnes , so as i work a 3 night week instead of blowing cash on a night out i will just go down there and surf , suppose to you folks who live in the south west thats just normal life but to me its heaven spending long days in the ocean , having a bbq then sometimes satellite spotting in an amazing clear sky (cant see anything where i live ,all washed out with pollution) so i would say maybe 20 holidays a year plus trips to the east coast ravenscar ect

Have you ever looked at an Atlas? Rio isn't particularly close to Europe?
