Top Destinations from the UK

TopDestinationsfromUK Over the past three years during my work as a hair stylist in England (in Brighton and now Bath) I have heard a lot about vacations and travel from the clients in my chair.  While the first conversation with clients stems from my ‘american’ accent and my original whearabouts, the second being about the weather, travel has become the main third topic in client-stylist conversation.  While the weather in England has been stereotyped as rainy and cold with little to no sun, it makes perfect sense why people look forward to their yearly vacations.

How do people travel?
I have noticed that there are a huge amount of my clients who are drawn to those packaged vacation deals.  Be it a cruise or an all inclusive holiday stay for a certain amount of days.  There are some that do like to ‘rough it’ and make their own plans or go to less tourist populated locations.   However when I use the term ‘vacation’ it seems that in England the above type of trip is what comes to most minds.

Top Destinations from the UK
This is a list of the locations I have heard most people say they are going to on vacation.  It does not include all the places I have heard but the most frequent answers.

  • France: Being our close neighbour with easy access by train, coach, car, plane and ferry it is the quickest place to jet off to for a long weekend getaway.  I’ve heard about countryside locations, skiing trips, and the magical trips to EuroDisney.
  • Spain: For the vitamin D difficient who are needing some rays of sun, Spain is the next European country that I hear about most.  I do not get tired of hearing about these trips as I have not yet been to Spain and look forward to visiting it for myself one day soon.
  • Greece: Those packaged trips that I talked about earlier most often involve Greece. I’ve not heard about Athens much, but the islands seem to get a lot of attention from vacation go-ers.
  • Florida: As an American I was quite surprised at first to hear so many people mention Flordia. It seems more people from the UK have been to Florida than New York.  Of course what is not to like about Florida?  You have sun, beaches, palmetto bugs, Disney World, etc.

Destinations Elsewhere
Of course those that live in the UK do not only go to those locations above and I hear about so many places I would love to go to next or places I want to return to soon.  With a melting pot of cultures and a fair amount of people who have originated from all over the globe there is a non stop flow of conversations about countries, cultures, and the stories of travel memories to keep a wanderlust blogger happy.

Q: What are the top destinatons from where you live?  Tell me your current location and the destinations!

    Living in Italy most people tend to travel to Greece and Islands around here… Right now I’d say there are a ton of people from the UK here in Italia!!!

  • http://englishgirlcanadianman.blogspot.ca/ Holly Nelson

    Egypt is an up and coming holiday destination, as is Mexico amongst the people I know. Mainly people do weekend city breaks – Amsterdam, Rome, Brussels, Dublin etc

  • http://www.justathriftygypsy.blogspot.com Katrina Elisabet

    Most people I know end up in the Caribbean or the UK for international destinations. Sadly, there are a lot of people here in Virginia who don’t travel at all, either out of lack of interest or financial issues.

  • http://mariellegreen.com/ Marielle

    Haha, Florida seems pretty random. I’m from Pennsylvania. . .most people seem to head to the beaches in Maryland/Virginia/etc. Going abroad is still kind of exotic, unless you’re traveling for business.

  • http://www.shoutingchow.com Hsiao-Ting

    France makes sense. When I was in London for work, I was considering going to Paris for a weekend. Florida is so random but at least it’s on the east coast … I would have thought NYC since there’s a lot of flights from London to NYC. I live in SF and a lot of people tend to go to Big Sur, Napa, LA, and Vegas for weekend trips!

  • http://withlove-rachel.com Rachel Murphree

    I’m always so jealous of Brits for having so many wonderful destinations that are affordable to travel to. I wouldn’t trade living in California for anything, but it does make most international travel pretty expensive, unless you’re going to Latin America (which I LOVE anyway). :)

    I live in the U.S. and I think most people tend to travel domestically with Italy being one the most popular travel destination internationally if you ignore our neighbors (Canada and Mexico). The United Kingdom and France are also popular. But living in the Bay area I hear of people traveling just about everywhere as about 1/3 of my colleagues were born internationally.

  • http://www.the-lifestyle-project.com/ Danielle @ The-Lifestyle-Prj

    In Canada it seems like the most popular all-inclusive vacation choices are usually to Cuba and the Dominican Republic. I’ve had so many friends take trips there as you can often find one week deal for $700pp.

    I live on the island of Oahu in Hawaii and it’s very cheap to fly to other islands for a vacation. We actually just got back from a weekend trip to the beautiful, garden island of Kauai!

  • http://thecynicalsailor.blogspot.co.nz/ Ellen

    When we lived in the UK we went on a few last minute package holiday deals. You can get real bargains if you book at the last minute. While it seemed like lots of people just hung out at the pool and in the bars, we used it as a great opportunity to get out and explore.

  • http://www.jarfullofstars.com/ Lisa

    My favorite destinations are off the tourist track places, usually smaller towns. I love Banos, Ecuador because it’s a small place up in the Andes and has lots of nature activities like biking and exploring hot springs and waterfalls.

  • http://thethingsiamcrazyfor.wordpress.com/ Camila

    It’s definitely easiest to travel when you’re in Asia or Europe. North America is either Canada or USA if you talk about a few hours of flight’s radius. I’m currently in Montreal and I think it’s a must see in Canada. I think people love to head for weekend getaways to Massachusetts and Maine and New York (by car). Florida is a destination for lots of people who want to spend the winter in better weather and some love to take their winter vacations in Cuba or Jamaica and obviously Mexico!

  • Corinne Vail

    We live in Germany, and I think they like to go to warm places like the Turkish Riviera.

    Nice post. Hopefully I could travel to UK soon. That’s like my ultimate dream when it comes to traveling. :)

    THE GREAT DR GREAT WHO BROUGHT MY HUSBAND BACK TO ME IN JUST ONE DAY. My name is Nancy John from uk, I got married 1 year ago. My husband and I have been living a very happy and lovely life. So as time went on, I began to notice this strange attitude that he was possessing. He was now going out with other girls, to the extent that he was no longer picking up my calls, and he was not even sleeping in the house anymore. I became confused and didn’t know what to do anymore. So i became worried and stranded, that brought so many thoughts into my mind, because I have never experienced a thing like this in my life. So I decided to visit a spell caster, to see if he can help me out. So immediately I went to the internet, where I saw an amazing testimony of a spell caster who brought someone’s ex lover back, “DR iyare” so I contacted him immediately and I explained to him all my problems and he told me that it will be very easy for him to solve, compare to the ones that he has done before. And he also gave me some proof to be really sure of his work, and he assured me that my husband will come back to me as soon as he is through with the spell casting. And also he told me to put all my trust in him, and I really obeyed him. So it was 8:00 am on the next morning, when I was about going to work, when i received my husband call, and he told me that he was coming back home, and he was apologizing to me telling me that he is very sorry for the pain that he has cost me. And after some hours later, he really came back home, and that was how we continued our marriage with lot of love and happiness, and our love was now stronger than how it were before. DR iyare also told me that once my heart desire has been granted unto me that i should go and testify of his work right here on the internet. Right now I am the happiest woman on earth today as I am writing this testimony, and I want to really thank “DR great” for bringing back my husband, and for bringing joy and love to my family. So my greatest advice for you out there who your husband or your wife is acting strange, or you have any problem with your relationship or anything that has to do with spell casting,He is capable of solving any problems.All you need do is for you to contact this man anytime, and i assure you that he will be of help to you,I am 100% sure that he will solve it out.
