The Holiday Magazine

In the right place… but at the wrong time


Tim, 20, student from Manchester
When I was a teenager I went on holiday with my parents to Brittany in France. My parents rented a lovely house on the beach, and the weather was great. But I was 17, and I didn’t want to be on holiday with my mum and dad. I wanted to be with my friends. We went to the beach every day, and we ate in fantastic restaurants. But I was miserable and I hated every minute of it. I didn’t smile once in two weeks. What really made me furious was that my parents let my older sister, who was 19, go to Spain with her friends.

Kelly, 26, TV journalist from Belfast
Three years ago I broke up with my boyfriend and I decided to go on holiday to the Seychelles in Africa. My travel agent told me that it was a wonderful place. But he didn’t tell me that it was a very popular place for people on their honeymoon. Everywhere I looked I saw couples holding hands. The travel agent also said it was always sunny there, but the weather was terrible, it was cloudy and windy. To pass the time I decided to do a diving course. But it was a complete disaster because the first time I went under the water I had a panic attack. Those were two incredible boring (and expensive) weeks in the ´paradise´.
