Beenish Nasir, 25, Assistant Physical Education Teacher
I would go to Thailand and go hiking, camping, basically enjoy the natural surroundings. I would also go there and play sports and get to know their culture. I would also like to teach them about Pakistani culture. If I could extend my vacation, I would also like to visit America ... and learn as much as I could about martial arts.

Katarina Fercakova, 47, High School Teacher
I think I would go anywhere, to a place where I would be with my friends and my husband, whom I also count as one...[laugh]. It could be China for example, because of its landmarks and history. To enjoy the sea I would go to Cuba, where there are beautiful beaches and palm trees. But an exotic vacation is not just lying on the beach for me; it should be balanced with discovering that country’s history.

I would travel all around the world and become familiar with traditions and the ways of living of different nations. I would take pictures, visit tourist cites, and have a good time.

Trish Calder, Stay-at-home Mum
I would like to go to Cambodia again. I went there five years ago and I love the people and the culture. It is one of those places that you can get a sense of the place; it is not too commercialized. I would go back to Angkor Wat with my children to see the temples. I would also want to go to the coast to see the beautiful beaches and people.
Mario Collazos, 31, Student studying in Perth, Australia
I would like to go to China because I have not been there and I find the Chinese culture fascinating. I want to see Shanghai and the Great Wall of China.
Crystal Gautam, 23, Activities Director
I would like to go to the British Isles. I’ve traveled to Hawaii, New Zealand, and Tonga. I have friends who have traveled to the British Isles and I have heard great stories of their visits, it sounded very interesting. I thought this would be a place I would like to visit.
Steve Barnett, 54, Duty Technician
I would go to Papua New Guinea to look at the exotic birds in the forest—the beauty of them. It is absolutely another world undiscovered. I'd also love to go to the Himalayas in India, to the Indian Ocean on an elephant. It has always been in my mind, but [it’s] been a question of time and money.
Khalil Djalal, 24, Engineering Graduate student
I would like to make an historical and archeological tour of the central Saharan region. I would like to go through the ancient Garamantian civilizations, southern Libya, all of Chad (central Sahara) and see all the ancient archeological sites of civilizations in that region to understand how they lived, what were their diplomatic, political relations between one another. From an architectural perspective, how did they build their cities; how did they organize themselves in terms of engineering—the water networks that they built, and just how advanced were these civilizations.
Haim David, 22, Musician
I would like to go anywhere with Sun and without stress. I would play music and I would like to meet people and new kinds of music.
Ch’en I-ju, 18, Cake Maker
If money wasn’t a problem, I would help poor people. I’d travel the world and help out the poor people. Where would I start? The closest countries to here, then moving on around the world. Why? Because they are very sad, so I want to help them.
Turdeanu Monica Tatiana, 51, Engineer and Business Owner
If money would not be a problem, I would choose a destination with beautiful sights—mountains, lakes, fast rivers, cascades, preferably during summer. What would I do? I would enjoy nature and I would relax. Of course I would also need some decent comfort, so probably I would choose a hut or a hotel.
Miroslav Vozdecky, 31, Marketing Agent
Well, if you would ask me about sightseeing that would be a different story, but a holiday is something I see as relaxation, a time to rest, so I would definitely end up on some tropical island like on Seychelles or the Maldives, because I never experienced this kind of holiday and I always wanted to.
