Where is your favorite place to holiday? Not so much a country, but do you like the beach, the mountains, urban places or none of the above and why?

I live in Bangalore, India which is called the silicon capital of the world. Off late it has been transformed into a metropolitan city due to which there is increased traffic congestion and pollution. I would love to go on a holiday to a beach or mountains or any calm good place. Due to my work shedules I seldom able to go anywhere. I would like to go to Kemangundi which is a hill station and visit the malpe beach. What about you? Tell me some thing about your favourite holiday destination.

I never knew that Bangalore was known for silicon. I can understand if you have a good job, you may not get much vacation time, but at least you are paid well, I imagine.
I like traveling to urban cities and soaking in the life of them, but I can also appreciate serene settings where I don't have to "do" as much. For example, a vacation to New York and a vacation to a tropical island in the Caribbean are both appealing to me, albeit for different reasons.

I wish I would have got good salary. But thats not the way. The work is hectic though salary in not high. New York must be very busy. Well have you been to rocky mountains anytime, or have you gone to boating in Missisipi river?

My favorite place to travel is a tropical island or country. I like to see native wildlife and have a great adventure. I love to spend time on palm fringed beaches. I am quite fond of visiting historic cities. I like to climb a mountain for just one day on a trip. I enjoy walking along a long distance track. Variety is the key factor that I need for a trip. I tend to visit five or more different places on a trip. Like in 2006 I flew to Mexico, went snorkeling, watched wildlife, climbed Mayan temples and went caving. I went to towns on that trip. On my latest trip, this summer, I took my toddler son to three capital cities in the Baltic countries and we went to the countryside and beach as well. I like excitement and finding out new knowledge more than relaxation because that can get boring. In the Maldives the islands were lovely but there was so little to do. By comparison island hopping in the Seychelles was so enjoyable and interesting.

I'd love to travel to the Maldives; I've heard so many good things about them. I know less about the Seychelles, but you said the Maldives were boring. I understand you need variety for a trip and for that, I can appreciate your regard for historic cities.
It's nice to hear someone who loves to travel to learn versus just going to relax. Personally, I like a combo of both, so-called "fun learning " and a place where I don't have to "think" like in an academic or work setting.
