1. What Do Young People Expect from Their Holidays?

Young people generally look for a place where they can feel completely free to do whatever they like without having an adult trying to give them a lecture. They look for a place where they can stay with all their crew and have as much fun as possible, drinking, dancing and so on. All these things won’t probably be possible in a hotel because if they are too noisy some people might go and complain to the manager of the hotel. As for youth hostels, they are generally cheaper but the problem is that you’ll have to bring most of your belongings with you as someone might steal them.

Spain has always been close to the hearts of the British. The increasing number of Brits either buying second homes or upping sticks to live their lives as expatriates on the Spanish coast means it will always feel like a home from home whenever we visit.

Or perhaps you’re one of the growing group of travellers who would be really looking forward to their holidays if it wasn’t for one thing.

Aviophobia!

While your friends are excitedly discussing where they’ll be heading for their stint of voluntary work abroad all you’re worrying about is how you are going to muster up the courage to step on to the plane.
