Vacation Experiences

Save to My Favourites

Speaker 1 I usually go camping in France with my family, but this year I really wanted to do something a bit different. So, my friend Ben and I decided to sign up for a two-week summer camp. It was an adventure camp with exciting activities like canoeing, sailing and archery. I didn’t really know what to expect, but we both had so much fun and definitely want to go again next year.

Speaker 2 I had been looking forward to a holiday all year. The hotel was quite nice and there was a great view of the sea from our room, but I didn’t enjoy the trip as much as I expected to. There were no other young people staying in the hotel and not much to do. The weather was a bit chilly too, so we didn’t stay on the beach for very long.

Speaker 3 I saved up for my month-long backpacking trip for ages and, to my surprise, by the end I hadn’t spent all my money. I was enjoying myself so much that I decided to travel for a bit longer. I went to Spain and Portugal with some people I had met at a hostel in Germany and we had a wonderful time. Speaker 4 I enjoyed our cycling holiday so much.

Every day we cycled for hours through beautiful countryside, then we booked into a small hotel and enjoyed the delicious local food. It was a great experience, but every evening I was so exhausted I could hardly speak. I’ve never slept so well in my life. Speaker 5 It was my friend David who invited me to go on the trip to Asia with him.

It was an amazing feeling to know that I was making people who have difficult lives happier. Each morning we coached some local children and football skills, then later we were free to visit the local area. I enjoyed all the trips we went on, but the most rewarding part of the holiday was seeing the smiles on the children’s faces as we taught them.
