Which Do You Prefer Vacation In The Country Or Foreign Country

Vacation is the best activity to do when we have many holiday and for family bonding. Vacation helps us release tension and give back happiness in our life. It also helps the economy growth and give people chance to work or do business. I wonder where do you go on vacation usually? Do you have vacation on your country or foreign country? Why do you choose that? Where is the best vacation you have? What you do on your vacation?

i would love to go my village and spend some time near the dam. it is the best place for me to chill out, and i can never get bored of that place. or i will go to the mountains in the Himalayas and spend some time there. being close to mother nature gives me a sense of security and happiness. [amlegend]
vacation in our own country is great [devils_nani]


I so agree with you on the need for vacation. I have not gone to another country, other than cananda but that was not vacation. I Love to go to the beach. Myrtle Beach or Virginia Beach is my preference when I am with my hubby. We went as a family to Tennesee and that was SO wonderful. Since our money is so budgeted right now we have not been anywhere for a few years. But I do plan on making one very soon, and we are planning to go to the beach, not sure which one but I cant wait to see my kids running throught the sand. If we have to go closer for gas constraints it will be TN again. We love nature and that is definatly a place of nature. We sight see, go to Zoo's, and aquariums, try new food. And we dont keep a schedule, we just go whereever whenever. [ladygator]
Beach is a good place to go on vacation. The air and the water is good. There a lot activity can be done at the beach. There beach games that can play. I live near the beach. Whenever I am time or I feel to got beach, I will go and enjoy myself. Going vacation with family sure make the bond stronger. Thanks for sharing. happycool [ravinder18]



I always love to travel and so far i love coming back to the tourist spots in my country. I love the beaches and the interesting sights to see and not to mention the food. I always love the food in the phils. But me and my hubby plans to visit paris next year too. I am excited to travel local places and abroad. So far we have visited nice places and the fun of spending vacation with your love ones makes the vacation more interesting and enjoyable. [belk89]
Vacation and traveling is sure fun to do. The food is usually people will like to have when they are on vacation. I also enjoy trying the local food places I visited. Spending vacation with loves is sure the best thing and good to do. Enjoy your visit to Paris. [ravinder18]


For vacation most of the time I visit my friends and family members ! I would prefer to go places in the country because you are quite accustomed with the culture and will not have much problem !! But again visiting foreign countries will take more time and money !! So I would prefer the country you are living in !! [bsa861]
There a lot beautiful place at your country, I do agree that. Some people will like vacation to foreign country because they like to know other country culture. At our country, there also a lot place to go for vacation. By going vacation in our own country, we hep our country economy. We also saves money from going outside the country. Thanks for sharing. happy [ravinder18]



Actually i will be always interested to go out of the country for the vacation. But what is the sad thing means, nowadays i am not getting vacations itself. I am in the stage that i can go out of the country, but there is no time. I am feeling very bad of the life...... [antonykeerthy]
No need to feel bad if you can't go for vacation. Vacation to have fun. You will have your vacation when the time comes. Vacation at own country is not that bad. Vacation out side country sure will be nice to do. if think positive, maybe one day you will have chance to do that. Thanks for shhappyaring. [ravinder18]


This vacation you speak of sounds fantastic. I seem to remember having one... lets see....I guess it was something like..... 18 years ago. ( Pulls out gun & shoots himself , head lands on keyboard ) sjklsklgj;fjgl5o [uath13]

I know that there are so many beautiful place in my country that i can go to. In Indonesia there are still lots of beautiful places that I haven't gone there before and I would really like to go there to have a holiday. But it is too bad that the accommodation and the facility there wasn't well maintained, and I want to have a decent holiday so I would like to go to far away places. And it is said that while we are still young we should try to go to somewhere far, and when we got older and cannot go far away anymore we can go to somewhere closer LOL. [klaudine]
My country do have a lot place to go. I agree that some place are really crowded with people. Especially popular places. Maybe one day, when I have enough money, I want to have vacation to neighbors country. I would like to go Indonesia one day. [ravinder18]


Well, before I hit the world for vacation, I still have to take a look at the beautiful places in my country. We are composed of 7,107 islands and that pretty huge. There have been lot of beautiful scenery that has yet to be unfold here. The beaches here are awesome for summer vacation. Every places also has its great role in history. Need to visit its famous landmarks. Truly amazing to discover places, specially when nothing to do except having the vacation. I will prefer first to uncover my homeland before going to foreign land. [iceblizzard]
I also still haven't have vacation all the beautiful places at my country. I only been 5 percent only the vacation places at my country. I want to visit all the places before planning going to foreign country. [ravinder18]


Usually I go to local beaches here for vacation. It's not expensive unlike going out of the country. The beaches here are fantastic! I couldn't be in any other place in the world. Bantayan is already a heaven. [amira_milka]
Going to beaches is not expensive at all. I do stay near to beach. My house is jut 15 minutes walk to the beach. I enjoy myself going to beach. When I feel for vacation, I just grab picnic basket and have my vacation with my friends or family at the beach. [ravinder18]


it does not really matter where i will spend vacation. as long as i can afford to pay for it then i will go there. but sometimes vacationing in other countries can be much cheaper than vacationing here in my own country. and that is why i am planning to vacation more in other neighbouring countries. than to visit my own country in places that i have never been before here . that is why many more people here if they don't have much money and still want to have good vacation will opt to see other near country than to some good places here in my country. hope to have more money so that i can visit the beautiful places my country can offer. [hotsummer]
I usually have vacation at my country. Sometimes I just go to beach near my home to have vacation. I would love to go to other country if I have the opportunity to do that. Which neighbor country you usually visit? [ravinder18]


In my opinion. The best vacational area is England. Beautiful scenery, always much going on, and gorgeous men. ;] [amarii]
Thanks for sharing. Maybe one day I will visit England. happycool [ravinder18]


for me i would prefer to spend my vacation with my family in our country rather than other country because of too expensive not only for that but as long as you & your family will feel comfortable........no stress feeling not you or even your family.... [jelai24]
Spending vacation with family is important. Sometimes it doesn't matter where we spend the vacation. The important is everyone enjoy the vacation. Sometimes my family will just have our vacation near the beach to our house. We still enjoy our vacation and happy good time. [ravinder18]


My favorites vacation country is Italy and German. I like the ancient sculpture very much. Also, i like those castle and building that's with special design. One of the reason i like castle is because in my country we don't have castle. LOL. At this moment, i would only able to go vacation in own country as because of money matters. But those are my dream place, thus will save money and visit there before end of my days. [adriantys78]
Hi Ravinder18, glad that you feel the same too. Ya, Langkawi have nice scenery view. lol [adriantys78]


Oh~~Of course I would love to go to a foreign land for vacation. How wonderful that must be. But, my heart says that before I do that, I have to visit at least most of the best places here in my country. I know there are a lot of really great places where I can have my vacation here in my country and it is going to be a shame on my part if foreign people have traveled my country and I don't. In 2010, when my boyfriend comes home, we're planning to visit some of the most beautiful places here in the Philippines and after that we'll fly to Hongkong, we do not have enough budget yet for somewhere farther than that. lol. Have a great day! [maigzen]
I think everyone will love to go vacation to foreign country. I think it will be good if have vacation at our country first. I agree with, it will be shame if foreign people have traveled and visit our country but we didn't did that. I am trying to make priority vacation at my country Malaysia first. [ravinder18]


i like to make my holiday in foreign countries ,i am a Chinese and you may know that there are many famous location in our country ,why i also want to make a tour in foreign country ,i feel i only go to these countries which is distant from my country ,i can relax myself true and release tension brtter .i like and want to Singapore very much ,but because of many reasons ,i have no opportunity to there until now ,if i have enough money and enough time someday ,i will go there . [dpjddh03556462006]
I know there are a lot famous location at your country. I will like to go on vacation someday to your country. Hopefully I can do that when I have enough money. There are many good vacation spot at Asian. If you can, I think Malaysia will be a good place for vacation too. [ravinder18]


I would really love to go for a vacation,I agree with you in saying that it helps us release tension and gives happiness in our life. I would love to have a vacation overseas, but before that, I want to explore first the tourist spots and wonderful places that our country got. I know there are still many that I have to visit before I go to foreign countries. happy [kylie_quistis]
Hi!thanks for choosing me as your best response, happyAnyway, the tourist places that I really like the most are; Baguio, Tagaytay and Palawan, really great to go here in summer, the cool temperature and wonderful places that Tagaytay and Baguio have are really great, as well as the oceanic views and white sands in Palawan are quiet beautiful. Wish that I can go there again before the end of the year. happy [kylie_quistis]


It's hard to answer this question,both the own country and foreign countries are attractive to me to spend by good vacation. And beautiful sight is everywhere,have the different charm. For the other side,there are 3 discommodiousness factor for have the vacation in foreign countries. First,the cost of foreign country vacation usually is much higher than they spend in our country(sometime is on the opposition), this matter always hold them back. The second factor is language, maybe this is a problem,but if you english or other english is good,or you can follow to other,it will not a question. And at last, usually we can't go to some countries without visa, so we have to cost much on the vise appication. Some times,the feeling is different when you are in the other country. [Feiyel]
Vacation is good to have. Vacation at own country or foreign to have same goals. That is to have fun and enjoy. What you said should be thought before going to vacation. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully you have a good time. [ravinder18]


I travel a lot because of my work so I say do both! It's best to know your own country so you can appreciate it more, its cheaper too and you can help in the tourism industry. Traveling abroad widens your horizons. It opens your eyes to other people's cultures and wonder. Traveling at home and abroad, each satisfies a different craving for me. So, I'm just glad that I have the means and the opportunity to do both and to do it often. [Avi_Gan]
You are lucky for having both vacation. Vacation at own country sure help the tourism field a lot. People have job and business opportunity. We also help money flow at our country. Thanks for sharing. [ravinder18]


Almost every year, my family take a vacation either local trips or abroad. I find seeing other countries much exciting because its only are rare chance that you could go back there again. unlike in local trips, you can go there as you wishes. Next year we will be going to thailand. another new experience to look forward to. [chellymarz]
I agree with you, vacation at different country will have different experience. Every country have different culture, food, style living. Hope you will have good time at Thailand. Have you went to Malaysia? [ravinder18]


It's nice to travel to foreign land but it will cause you to spend large sum of money. Having a vacation on great/beautiful places in your home country is good also because you can never be a stranger in your own place and the advantage is that it will cost you less on the expenses. But if you can afford to travel abroad then why not? To visit foreign lands and to discover different cultures are really exciting, great and enjoyable experience. To me, I'd like to have a tour in Europe someday. [eds282006]
If there is a money problem, I think better to have vacation at own country. There a are still a lot place to have vacation at own country. The important going on vacation is have fun an enjoy. [ravinder18]


I'm more of a stay-at-home person when holidays is around the corner. Though pretty much anywhere is fine by me, as long as I can speak the language - or if most of the inhabitants speak english. But I'd love to take a trip to MI, USA, to meet a friend of mine I haven't seen before. So if somebody could get me there, I'd be at the airport with full-packed bags before you could say 'vacation'. [stardustkp]
Nice for sharing. Happy mylottinghappy [ravinder18]


I live in a small country. There's really no place here I can get away from. So I prefer to have a vacation in a foreign country. We usually go to a neighbouring country. There are many beautiful beaches in Malaysia and one of the best that I have been to is Redang Island. Clear blue skies, white sandy beaches, fish swimming in the waters, just like in the movies. In fact it has appeared in a movie once, an Asian movie. I would love to bring my daughter there one day when she's a little older. I went there before I got pregnant. My husband and I love beaches, it's just so calming and serene. I don't think we will ever get tired of beach vacations! [SydneyHazelton]
Nice to know you like. happy [ravinder18]


I prefer going out of the country and the main reason is that when I'm going to a vacation I wanted to go somewhere rare and hard to go to that's why you spend the days you're on vacation. I think there's some psychology to it that you can go anytime you want on anywhere inside your country if you want to. But the real thing is that, it's not as easy as we thought. But the real issue here is that it is cheaper traveling inside the country and it's more common to you that's why there's more specialness going outide the country on a vacation. [geekyjock]
When there is a need to have special vacation, sure will be nice to have at my place to seldom will went. Vacation is important no matter where it will be. I always waited for next vacation with my family. [ravinder18]


I want to see my whole country. I'm not very interested in visiting other countries but wouldn't turn down a free trip. [PrarieStyle]
Thanks for sharinghappy [ravinder18]


Regardless of money, when I have long holiday, I prefer to travel everywhere not only in the country but foreign countries. I have never been abroad,if possible, I want to go to Canada, a beautiful country full of maples, I like Vancouver and Toronto. [benita2008]
Canada is a nice places to have vacation. Hopefully you can go there. Thanks for sharing. happy [ravinder18]


I like to spend my vaction in my homeland. First, I do not enjoy travelling in a plane during its transistion state (e.g. take-off, landing, turbulence), maybe its a kind of phobia I never get to overcome it...Second, I like my country generally because it is one of the safest city in the world and there is lots of entertainment for people of my age to look forward. Sure, people down here may be superficial, but home is still home. However, I did travel to foreign countries in my younger days. For example, North America, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Switerland,etc. But thats because my sister dragged me into it, lol! [Boldone1]
Some people do have phobia for plane. But you still get to have vacation even you don't like the plane. Maybe you can have vacation to country that don't need plane like neighbor country. Thanks for sharing. happy [ravinder18]


my favourite vacation place is switzerland...its beautiful. [chinna533]
