its vacation time here in our country., and most we are talking about is where did we go having a vacation.. mostly my co-office mate they like to go on swimming on the beach., having fun with white sand, riding speed-boat, and wanting island hooping., but one of us opposed. they want to go to the mountain hiking with some friends...how about you? what prefer you most? go to beach or adventure in a mountain?

when me and my family goes for family bonding,there will be an option of swimming sometimes beach but most of the times,pool!
we really don't have much budget when going to the beach!
and i haven't tried mountain hiking,though i really want to,i never have the chance!
it's always the money that is my problem!
going out of town is hard especially when you have no own vehicle to travel on!
i really do love to hike mountains,if given a chance,i would really love too!
as long as i've no problem when it comes to expenses,hehehe

Here in Australia, Bushwalking is free if you live in Sydney.
I'm on a pension, so always a limited budget, and I don't have a car, so I catch a train up to Katoomba, and walk from there to any one of the numerous bushwalking tracks. :)

ive never experience yet riding on the train.., but i like that, having fun while watching the beautiful place while you at the train, just like in the movie., while riding a train you go in any place, you saw a farm, beach and the mountain..ohh i love it!

i'm not familiar with bushwalking!
and you're place is too far also!
i haven't tried going out of the country so far!
bushwalking seems to be nice,since you really enjoyed it!
as i've researched it's also called trekking in the bush where is very good for your help.well,that sounds really nice while enjoying the air sight seeing other places there,nice stuff!

Well, I've done both for vacations in the past. Growing up, we went to the beach many times during certain summers, usually in different states. We certainly didn't have a beach around my state! But having done both, right now I'd say I'd definitely rather go hiking in the mountains. I remember the last time I was in the mountains, and I miss the peace, the beauty, and the serenity that somehow is unique to being surrounded by so much incredible nature. It has been a long time, but the memories are fresh.

HI AMBIE! its good for you that you it both., for me i want to try on hiking because i haven't experience it yet., i am afraid so, because of my legs, it is not good enough to Cary my entire body coz it was fractured when i was a child. but i want to experience it soon..,

Personally i would choose the Mountains,because i'm from Louisiana and my wife doesn't like neither. So, i myself love the mountains and enjoy hiking and just being by myself and just soak in the beauty of nature. Now, i wish my wife would love both. But she is a little older than myself and just likes staying home. I am a younger man and i still enjoy life and would love to just get out more and do more things.

Although i like the feeling of going to the beach i preffer mountain climbing or hiking. I feel that the adventure that it gives is much more higher than that of just being on the beach.I want to feel the rush of nature and the feeling of being with nature for sometime thats why i preffer hiking than just going to the beach

well its your choice to go on hiking., other want this too because they want more challenges.. it enhances thier skills and develop body structure and healthy mind.,
it can also help us to know the nature and all living things in the mountain.,and its natural beauty..

Yes and most of the times people have different preference in just bout anything we do, like if your into going to beach you might choose to go to the beach but if you like hiking just like me then you will be choosing to go to hiking hehehe.But whatever what we choose for as long as we are happy and satisfied thats what we should consider the most

I prefer hiking because it is more interactive and you can create a stronger bond with your family, relative or friends. Checking out what nature has to offer is great experience and the scent of the forest is really really relaxing. For me, the only advantage of going to beach is seeing the waves and the smell of the sea and most of all the girls in their swimsuit! Well I just love nature so I vote for hiking.

for every individual as its own habits. and some are like adventure.. they want to explore about the nature and its characteristics.. others want to connect with their mind and their soul to a flow of nature.. they want it to feel and interact thier body to a nature..

having walking in the sea-shore is good also for our exercise.. most people want also having jogging along the beach while the sunrise come.. and it beautiful to swim in the morning the sea is cold and air is fresh and sun is not yet to hot.. so i go on beach started in the morning..

yap, dont you worry you will be in good condition., sometimes we have to go on hiking or in the mountain for a changed.. to go over the crowded place and people with different kind of polution, as well as the noise of vehicle on the street., while in the mountain you are at peace and very relaxing..

Hiiii Cherwin2010.
Well it depend upon my mood and season.If it is a winter season i prefer to go to mountains and if it is summer season i prefer beach rather going for hitching hiking in mountains.Winter season in India is very pleasant and temperature remain here around 15 -20 degree daily and its ideal for long trek in mountain and in jungles.Pre monsoon and post monsoon season is also good for hiking in mountains.

I would prefer going to beach for swiming. I love swiming for many reason, I feel good in water and yes if its summer, too good to be under water, also swiming is a good exercise. Mountain climbing is also good but that require a lot of energy, No doubt I have that but do not prefer because my village is very close to mountains and I go on top whenever I am at home for vacation. There is no big river near my village so I would prefer swiming :)

As for me it doesn't really matter where you'll be at this summer as long as you are outdoors. Right now i am hooked with diving so beach is my choice. But i am also into mountain climbing/trekking. Both ways i do enjoy it.

If it's a vacation definitely I would take the BEACH! I always go to the beach, I fell more relaxed, I love the sun and the sand. I love doing water activities. I am in to diving right now. I tried hiking on a mountain, that's just a two-hour climb, but I really don't like the feeling of being very tired. But some of my friends are into it. In our country, we have many beaches and we also have rich mountain to climb. I am not closing my doors though, I need to be emotionally ready for it I guess.

I haven't had a vacation in years & would be very limited to where i could go now if i took one. I sure couldn't go hiking in the mountains anymore & i went to the beach i would have trouble there to, lol so guess i better just stay home. I hope anyone that's going on vacations has a big time & a safe trip.

yah., as for me, before we going on trip(beach) we have to pray first for our safety that is very important to our family when we are going together on beach or anywhere as long as we go on tripping.. beach is the most accessible and easy to have with your family for vacation..

If I were to choose which between these two events I would prefer to go, I would surely choose to go to the beach. I love swimming though I am not a good swimmer. I just enjoy the beauty of the sea. I also love enjoying beach moments with my friends, family, and most especially, my loved one. I don't like to swim under direct heat of the sun so I always prefer to go for a night swimming. Actually, my boyfriend, me and his family are planning to go to the beach next month. We want to savor the heat of summer. There will also be a lot of them who will be celebrating their birthdays in the month of May and so we have decided to just join the celebration at the beach. I'm pretty sure it's going to be fun.

actually, thier a lot of people thier you have encountering on the beach., for that instances, you have fun on it, watching each couple holding hands while walking, other running along the bay-side with thier kids., other carrying thier children on swimming., being watching for them you enjoy it already.,

I prefer the mountains, I've lived near them all my life so it's where I like to be and I love being in nature where it is cool and beautiful. Not that the beach isn't beautiful, I just don't like the heat much and camping is calmer I think. My husband and I disagree on this though because he grew up about 20 minutes from the ocean so he'd rather be at the beach, he misses it. I see the beautiful mountains out my bedroom window, and I just love it, I can't wait to go camping this summer, if summer ever happens that is, it was snowing today. sheesh lol
