Is it the sun? museums? famous landmarks? the reviews online?
For me it depends on what time of year I go on holiday so if it's around the summer time I look for somewhere that's hot, has a nice beach. I know Greece is good for the beaches, famous landmarks and for the sun too which is why I decided to go there last year.
Anyway, what sort of things attract you when looking for a place to go to?
It's been a long time since I've been able to take holidays, but I think this summer my partner and I will be trying to venture out eastern Canada. We are all about sight seeing and museums.
I just like to look for good experiences by other people in general. We had some family that went to DC and told us all about it, so we figured we'd do the same! Ended up being a fun time.
Ah so are you the sort of person who talks to people about travel places and if it sounds good you check it out also?Quote:

Try to learn a different language, it'll really help with the culture part of it. You'll learn a bunch. I'm learning German, it's awesome!Quote:

Weather is main thing (i hate cold weather) followed by cultural stuff so i'll look for like an old town/restaurants etc. i don't like modern cities.
Thats why I think Greece is such a great place to go. Very cultural and so beautiful!Quote:

I usually make sure there is good weather and good scenery, beaches etc.

Good weather and good scenery, beaches etc.
Usually, I'd pick a place that has things I want to see and/or do. So, there is a few states in America I'd love to visit to see certain sights or visit certain places and I'd love to go places in Europe for the same reason. If I wanted a relaxed, sunny holiday then I'd pick a place that suited that but I'd also want their to be nice sights too so I could spend a day relaxing by the beach and then a day seeing some nice sights.
I love villages by the sea and places that have gorgeous views. Typically places like Cornwall and Devon.
