Holidays: do you relax or get active?
What does a holiday, a vacation, mean to you?
Do you spend it climbing mountains, seeking an adrenalin rush, relaxing with a good book, exploring new places, visit the same place each year, doing jobs around the house, visiting friends or relatives?
Even when retired we all need a holiday - how do you spend yours?
I can't recall any Talks about having time out, if you know of any then please share them here?
Closing Statement from Kate Blake
Only a few dear TEDdies joined in but what a vast variety of 'ideas' we had about what "holidays" meant for us!
Well worth a read to get some hints and humour ... Much thanks everyone.

And thus the ones who are normally relaxed, are seeking for a active vacation.
I fit in my idea, so does a friend of mine.
im curious if thats the same for everybody?
Sorry for highjacking your question Kate.

Can you share how you enjoy your holidays?
If people are really that confused about which kind of holiday they prefer that would be a bit sad. In my younger years I did the active ones - traveled, climbed mountains, caved, cycled, etc. Now a good holiday is just staying in my own home doing my own routine - is this old age or contentment?

Well Kate, last year i went to indonesia with my family.
We saw all the hightlights of Java and Bali.
This year i will visit turkey for the third time. And i hope to do lots of active stuff.
Rafting, mountainbiking, fishing etc.
I also enjoy roadtrips, but unfortunately my fellow travellers rather stay on one spot.
