Traveling during the holiday season can be fun and a change of pace. Some may want something other than a white Christmas and have some fun in the sun. While others may want Europe. Have you traveled during the holiday season? What's your take?

You seem like an experienced traveler - that's great. What are some of your better experiences? Where?

I have spent two Christmas times abroad and three new year's eves. When I was 20 years old I traveled around the world. On Christmas Day I swam on a tropical beach in Queensland hoping not to come into contact with any stinging box jelly fish. Then on New Year's Eve I was partying in Cairns in North Queensland. Then when I was 29 years old I spent Christmas in New Zealand. I had an amazing experience on Christmas Day. I went on a dolphin watching trip on a boat. Then for New Year's Eve I went on a day time up to the light house at the top of New Zealand. I did some sand boarding and the four wheel drive bus went along the 90 mile beach. At midnight I was at the youth hostel with the other travelers. On New Year's Day I traveled down to Kerri Kerri. When I was 31 years old I was in Turkey for New Year. That was a boring evening in a hotel room. Snow in Austria in January looked amazing so I imagine a white Christmas there would be charming. It is more relaxing to have Christmas Day on on tropical beach. The place I would most want to have New Year's Eve is Sydney with its firework display in the harbor. Flights at Christmas time are way too expensive.

HI, I love travelling and I always wish I have more chance to travel to more countries. It is fun to travel in group with either friends or family members. Staying at home can be fun,but after staying at home for a period of time, it is kinda boring.
