This is a question we often ask ourselves when we are looking for our next travel destination or when we want to talk about our favorite travel destination. For whatever reason, talking about favorite travel destinations is always a great topic.
Travel is an important part of my life and also a fantastic topic to write about, whether in short form or in book form. That’s why I wrote this article about my favorite travel destinations and where I’d like to go next.
What Makes a Favourite Travel Destination and Why?
If you ask someone what their favorite place is, you are sure to get a variety of different answers. The reason we have a favorite travel destination is often because of the personal experience associated with it, or what it reminds us of.
For some people, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime travel experience, like a safari in South Africa. For others, it’s a place they love to return to again and again, such as bustling cities like New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Hong Kong, Cape Town, Mexico City, New Delhi, Tel Aviv, etc.
Or it can be a vacation to one of the most beautiful places, such as a UNESCO world heritage site (e.g., Great Wall, Taj Mahal, Halong Bay, Cinque Terre, or Machu Pichu in South America).
Some people are drawn to the beaches of Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, or to South India and Southeast Asia, while others prefer a culturally rich dream destination such as South Korea or Sri Lanka.
7 of My Favorite Travel Destinations
I have traveled and lived abroad for 2 decades, and it’s very hard for me to say which is my favorite travel destination because there are so many wonderful places in the world, all with their ups and downs. I’ll list a few of my favorite destinations here:
I fell in love with this country even before I was there.
Laos is one of my favorite destinations in Southeast Asia, and you may be wondering why. I love Laos because of the culture, the place, the food, and also for personal reasons. When I was young, I spent a lot of time with Lao people and we had a great relationship.
Despite the increase in tourism, Laos still offers many authentic areas and it’s easy to travel around.
Indonesia is one of my favorite travel destinations where I have more than one favorite place.
I have been to Indonesia many times and am always fascinated by the scenery, the culture, and the openness of the locals.
Indonesia has some of the most exotic landscapes on the planet. The diversity of landscapes makes it an ideal destination for those who love nature and adventure.
Pacific Islands
The Pacific Islands are a fascinating region for any traveler. The perfect white-sand beaches are certainly enticing, but the rich cultural heritage of this part of the world makes it even more attractive.
Remote places and cultures that remain authentic are something I really enjoy finding in my travels. There are so many remote travel opportunities in the Pacific, and the beaches are stunning, and inland like Fiji, there are breathtaking landscapes. One of my favorite travel destinations in the Pacific Islands is Fiji, I just love the culture and it’s such a beautiful place!
New Zealand
New Zealand is also one of my favorite holiday destinations, and on my list of best places to live in the world. I lived there for two years and it was fantastic.
The locals are very respectful, the food is fantastic, the scenery is very diverse and it is one of the safest countries in the world. The scenery is spectacular, but it’s the people that make this country so special.
They are forward-thinking, generally well educated, and have a progressive outlook on life. Maori culture is also rich, but some are struggling to preserve their traditions in a rapidly changing society.
I was fortunate to live with locals in Cuba and see places most people would not go. I was very impressed with the richness and preservation of the culture and places untouched by tourism.
The music and art scene is also very rich, and it’s great to see that every single person has a high level of education. But that was 2006, so probably a lot has changed since then.
I was in Jamaica on business, which made my trip very enjoyable because my organization’s partners took care of me and introduced me to some of the most amazing people.
The scenery is beautiful, and wherever you go there is great music.
Greece is one of my husband’s and my favorite holiday destination for summer vacation: great beaches, good food, and happy people.
We love Greece for its natural beauty, amazing islands, beautiful architecture, delicious food, local wine and ouzo, friendly people everywhere, history, and culture.
Greece is a beautiful country with so many different landscapes, from sandy beaches to rocky mountains to lush forests. It’s a place where you have everything at your doorstep – relaxation, adventure, and history. You can lie on an island beach for hours, hike up a mountain, and visit ancient ruins – all on the same day!
7 of My Favorite Cities
Light, sea breezes, and the warmth of the people are the first things that come to mind when you think of Barcelona.
If you love art in all its forms, Barcelona is the place for you!
The city’s artistic and architectural heritage is not limited to the most emblematic buildings and monuments, such as Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia or Casa Batlló, but also extends to the streets, squares, and buildings in every neighborhood.
I lived in Paris for many years and it is definitely one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The food is also excellent! The public transportation is great and very punctual.
Parisians have a pretty bad reputation all over the world, and I actually agree. As with anyone, it depends on who you are dealing with, and there are certainly some nice people, but you will also encounter rude service.
Most locals I know would never go to “touristy” areas like Montmartre, Opera, or the Eiffel Tower because they find them very crowded, and full of pickpockets or scammers. Some areas near the train stations are not perfect either, so it’s always good to do your research before venturing into unfamiliar areas!
London is one of the most multicultural cities in the world. People from all over the world have settled here, bringing their cultures and traditions with them. London has amazing museums and great nightlife, but it has also become very expensive.
If you are a foodie, Budapest is a great place. There are dozens of Michelin-starred restaurants in the city, and the restaurant scene is a mix of Hungarian, Italian, Asian, French, and other cuisines. From Michelin-starred restaurants to small cafes, Budapest has something for everyone, even for travelers on a budget (stick to local cuisine, and you can eat for less than $10 a day).
Do not forget to try Hungarian wine during your stay in the city – excellent wines are produced in the country.
One of the most popular tourist activities in Budapest is to visit one of the thermal bath complexes. Built by the Romans, who used the city as a spa, Budapest is rich in natural hot springs and thermal baths.
The city has many diverse cultural communities reflected in a variety of festivals, markets, cafes and restaurants.
Melbourne is also a great city for foodies – there are so many different dishes from around the world to try!
Melbourne is a trendy and vibrant city with a lot going on, also on my list of best places to live. Melbourne is like Wellington in New Zealand: it’s very safe and it’s easy to get around.
Bangkok is one of Asia’s most cosmopolitan cities, with stunning temples and palaces, authentic canals, bustling markets, and a vibrant nightlife that has something for everyone.
Bangkok is a city of contrasts, with something happening at every turn. Marvel at the shimmering temples, take a tuk-tuk through bustling Chinatown or take a longtail boat ride through the floating markets. Bangkok offers beautiful architecture and a rich culture that will make your time there unforgettable.
Mexico City (Old Town)
I can not say I like all of Mexico City as it is a huge city, but there is something for everyone. I love the old city and its museums are very authentic. For example, the Frida Khalo House or the Leon Trotsky House. They show you how they lived when they were in Mexico City. You can feel that energy, at least I did.
Places I Would Love to Visit
I would love to explore the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, Mount Fuji, Cinque Terre, Halong Bay, Hoi an, Great Wall, Madagascar, Kenya, South Africa, in fact, most of Africa! British Columbia, New Orleans, New York, San Francisco, South America, is also on my list, and I’d like to visit the Taj Mahal and the Golden Temple, and more of Southeast Asia. There are so many great places in the world that it would take several lifetimes to cover them all!
How to Find Your Favorite Place
The first and probably most important point is what kind of person you are.
Do you want to hike and see a new natural park, or do you prefer to relax on the beach?
- Would you see yourself in a tourist destination like Las Vegas, in a luxury hotel near the Burj Khalifa, or in a remote destination in Sri Lanka?
- Do you want to see something that reminds you of home, or do you want to see something completely different?
- Do you like warm or cold weather (I am not talking about “hibernating at home,” but rather the southern US and northern Canada).
- Are you planning a winter or summer vacation, or a longer trip?
- Think of your current favorite place and why, you may find a few clues on where to go next.
Once you have a general idea of what kind of place suits your personality, you should look at a map. Unless you are really, really, really lucky, there is no way anyone else has not been there.
So start looking for a destination in a place that fits your needs. Then you can start reading about them (e.g. Lonely Planet, travel blog, or even reviews can be helpful to get started) to get a better feel for the place.
If you are planning a trip abroad and need help choosing a destination, you first need to decide what kind of places you like. Some people prefer beaches, others jungles, some cities, and some the countryside.
The Internet is a surprisingly helpful place to start your search, and it’s not as difficult as it sounds. There are a few important things to keep in mind when searching online:
- Make sure you know what kind of places you want to go t o. This seems obvious, but if you know where you want to travel, the search will be much easier.
- Look at the map of the world . You probably already have a few destinations in mind, so now is the time to narrow down your choices. If you are looking for beaches, look at coastal destinations; if you are looking for mountains and hiking trails, look at mountain regions; if you are looking for city life, look at major cities.
- Start reading . Lonely Planet is a good place to start, but any guidebook will do (even Wikitravel!). Be sure to read about the culture of the destination so you get an idea of how people live there and what their lifestyle is like.
A Favourite Destination Depends on Who You Are Traveling With
You can travel to the best places in the world, but if the company is not right, it could be your worst destination.
I am a travel lover and have always looked forward to every trip. But when I decided to travel, I realized that it makes a big difference if you travel with people who share the same passion as you.
There are certain things that can ruin your trip, but there are also things that can make it even more memorable.
Traveling With Friends
One of the most important things when traveling is having the right company.
While it is true that you can go anywhere on your own, if you are going to travel with friends or family, you have to be very careful about who you choose as your travel companion.
Independence is important. If I am traveling with friends and want to listen to live music, for example, but my friends want to go to a club or dance, I do not want to be forced to do something I do not feel like doing.
The same goes for me if I am with someone who wants to go shopping and I am more in the mood to spend time with locals and learn about their culture. We can spend time together and then separate for a while and meet again later, maybe for dinner.
Traveling with someone who always wants to do everything together can be very frustrating because you may have different interests or one person gets tired before the other (like my husband!), and then one or both people are bitter or mad at the other.
Traveling Alone
Traveling with someone can be a great way to have fun and enjoy yourself. But it’s also a great way to get frustrated. The same place that is fun with one person can be a nightmare the next time you visit just because you are with someone.
I love traveling alone and believe it is one of the best ways to travel. But like everything in life, it has its pros and cons.
When you travel alone, you can do what you want, when you want. You do not have to worry about anyone else’s needs or schedules. You can stop at any coffee store without getting bored and without worrying about other people wanting to leave before you finish your drink. You do not have to worry about buying souvenirs for anyone but yourself.
However, there are some disadvantages as well: If something happens to you, no one will know until it’s too late; if you get robbed or sick, there may be no one there to help you; if you are afraid of being alone at night, it could make traveling difficult; if something happens to your family abroad, there may be no one there to help you get home as soon as possible.
What You Should Do to Make Your Destination a Great Experience
It’s almost true that travel is the only thing you can buy to become richer. And if you are very lucky, you’ll fall in love with the world along the way. In fact, most of us dream of traveling the world because we want to see what’s out there. We want to experience everything.
Many people dream of traveling the world, or at least taking a few trips to different places and experiencing different cultures.
There are a lot of things you need to do before your trip. This way you will have a better time while you are away.
If you plan ahead, you can save money. When you are planning a trip, it is never too early to start planning. Make sure you know where you want to go and what seasons are best for that location.
Do Your Research
Research in advance the places you want to visit and the hotels you will be staying in so you have an idea of what to expect when you get there.
Pack Lightly
When packing your suitcase, always choose clothes that are easy to mix and match so you do not have too many clothes for the duration of your trip, nor do you have to spend time putting together new outfits every day of your vacation.
Remember to take a universal charger when traveling with electronic devices, as well as an extra battery for each device, as the battery power of electronic devices often degrades faster than expected, especially if they are used frequently while traveling.
Educate Yourself
Learn the basics of the language if you can This is not necessary, but it is helpful. You do not have to be fluent in the language, just know a few words. Phrases like “hello,” “thank you,” “excuse me,” etc. are good to start with.
Find Out About the Culture
Research what people do there, how they act and dress, and anything else that is different from what you are used to at home. You do not want to seem too out of place or offend someone by doing something they do not approve of (e.g., littering).
Be Prepared
Things do not always go as planned! Take a small bag of essentials, such as snacks and water bottles. This will save you money in the long run and prepare you for unexpected surprises.

Editor’s Note: We know that many of you are looking for help writing travel experience essays for school or simply writing about a trip for your friends or family. To inspire you and help you write your next trip essay—whether it’s an essay about a trip with family or simply a way to remember your best trip ever (so far)—we enlisted the help of Professor Kathleen Boardman, whose decades of teaching have helped many college students learn the fine art of autobiography and life writing. Here’s advice on how to turn a simple “my best trip” essay into a story that will inspire others to explore the world.
Welcome home! Now that you’re back from your trip, you’d like to share it with others in a travel essay. You’re a good writer and a good editor of your work, but you’ve never tried travel writing before. As your potential reader, I have some advice and some requests for you as you write your travel experience essay.
Trip Essays: What to Avoid
Please don’t tell me everything about your trip. I don’t want to know your travel schedule or the names of all the castles or restaurants you visited. I don’t care about the plane trip that got you there (unless, of course, that trip is the story).
I have a friend who, when I return from a trip, never asks me, “How was your trip?” She knows that I would give her a long, rambling answer: “… and then … and then … and then.” So instead, she says, “Tell me about one thing that really stood out for you.” That’s what I’d like you to do in this travel essay you’re writing.
The Power of Compelling Scenes
One or two “snapshots” are enough—but make them great. Many good writers jump right into the middle of their account with a vivid written “snapshot” of an important scene. Then, having aroused their readers’ interest or curiosity, they fill in the story or background. I think this technique works great for travel writing; at least, I would rather enjoy a vivid snapshot than read through a day-to-day summary of somebody’s travel journal.
Write About a Trip Using Vivid Descriptions
Take your time. Tell a story. So what if you saw things that were “incredible,” did things that were “amazing,” observed actions that you thought “weird”? These words don’t mean anything to me unless you show me, in a story or a vivid description, the experience that made you want to use those adjectives.
I’d like to see the place, the people, or the journey through your eyes, not someone else’s. Please don’t rewrite someone else’s account of visiting the place. Please don’t try to imitate a travel guide or travelogue or someone’s blog or Facebook entry. You are not writing a real travel essay unless you are describing, as clearly and honestly as possible, yourself in the place you visited. What did you see, hear, taste, say? Don’t worry if your “take” on your experience doesn’t match what everyone else says about it. (I’ve already read what THEY have to say.)
The Importance of Self-Editing Your Trip Essay
Don’t give me your first draft to read. Instead, set it aside and then reread it. Reread it again. Where might I need more explanation? What parts of your account are likely to confuse me? (After all, I wasn’t there.) Where might you be wasting my time by repeating or rambling on about something you’ve already told me?
Make me feel, make me laugh, help me learn something. But don’t overdo it: Please don’t preach to me about broadening my horizons or understanding other cultures. Instead, let me in on your feelings, your change of heart and mind, even your fear and uncertainty, as you confronted something you’d never experienced before. If you can, surprise me with something I didn’t know or couldn’t have suspected.
You Can Do It: Turning Your Trip into a Great Travel Experience Essay
I hope you will take yourself seriously as a traveler and as a writer. Through what—and how—you write about just a small portion of your travel experience, show me that you are an interesting, thoughtful, observant person. I will come back to you, begging for more of your travel essays.

Short & Long Essay on My Favorite Holiday Destination In English
Table of Contents
Introduction
We often see pictures of someone’s vacation on their social media profile. It is evident that people are becoming more interested in traveling these days. Visiting off-the-beaten-path destinations and interacting with the locals is my idea of the perfect holiday.
I would prefer to visit places that are less crowded, especially by tourists, on my ideal vacation. Due to the crowds at tourist attractions like Disneyland theme parks, many tourist attractions are very crowded. A place that is more peaceful is more appealing to me than one with crowds. As well as that, many popular attractions cost a lot of money.
100 Words Essay on My Favorite Holiday Destination In English
Malaysia is one of my favorite holiday destinations. The place is nice, the food is delicious, and the people are friendly. Known for its high buildings, such as KLCC, Malaysia has a lot to offer. Due to my hobby of photography, I have access to a good place to practice enhancing and boosting my skills. Apart from its famous KLCC, Malaysia is also known for its delicious food such as “Kacang Satay”.
There are many types of meat used in it, such as chicken, beef, rabbit, etc. You will be served this dish with rice and sauce. There is a very secret recipe for this delicious sauce to dip. When I visited for the first time, the people were friendly to me. They take me to Genting Highland to relax and treat me to a meal. Playgrounds are available for everyone, and a rest area is available as well.
150 Essay on My Favorite Holiday Destination In Hindi
I love going to Gangtok for the holidays. My main trip is in Feb / March / Apr every year, or alternately every other year. Natural beauty and chilling weather are what I like about there. There are clouds all around, creating a feeling of heaven
There are many super hotels in the city, and the city administration is well-organized with proper support for tourists, as well as easy transportation for tourists to explore the side streets. Normally, hotel rooms with double beds cost between Rs 300 and 800/day. It is recommended to spend between Rs 1000 and Rs 3000 a day on deluxe beds. Due to my lack of experience, I cannot provide rates for super deluxe hotels.
A few km from Gangtok you will find the Baba Mandir and Tsonga Lake (Changu). In February / March, the lake looks gorgeous because it is completely frozen. With deep valleys passing by on the way to Changu lake, the journey is also very exciting. As well as Lachung, I visited Yangthum Valley in Lachung. In winter, the Valley highways are closed due to heavy snowfall, so you must travel there in late March or April.

Top Holiday Destination in 2022 with low Cost
My favorite destinations are several. Here are a few of my favorite places.
Upon entering this cosmopolitan city, I was struck by its architecture. Gaudi deserves thanks. His unique and eccentric architectural gems greet us everywhere he goes. I cannot believe how he could think such things, regardless of whether he is a genius It’s all explained in Sagrada Familia. explains everything. Consequently, the Roman archaeological sites, museums, and neighborhood beaches looked attractive. The tapas bars were my favorite place to eat culinary delights.
Netherlands
In my area, there is no lake at all. My desire to discover how Amsterdam’s life revolves around the lakes led me to visit Amsterdam last year. The capital of the Netherlands offered me a truly amazing and unique experience. We also appreciated the locals’ friendliness and ease of conversation. Bicycle around this city like a local. There were just no words to describe the splendor of sunsets at the lakes. It also looked like a paradise with its blossoming tulips and green pastures.
In planning my trip to this country, I had no great expectations. The country is beautiful, and I soon realized this once I arrived there. Diverse cultures coexist. The natural wonders of this country, in addition to its beautiful beaches, will make anyone want to return again and again. Most of all, I was taken into a different world when I visited the country’s capital Dubrovnik. Culturally and architecturally, it’s one of the most amazing places on earth. My previous imagines of this great nation were swept away by Diocletian’s Palace in Split.
My favorite destination is certainly there. Paris’ Eiffel tower attracts many visitors, as does Milan’s fashion scene. Paris, Eiffel, and Milan are not all that this melodious country has to offer. It is unnecessary to discuss these seductive cities of France since everyone knows everything there is to know about them. The beautiful hilltop villages set among the wonderful scenery of nature were a favorite aside from architectural heritage and culture. The high Alps are just the beginning of what you can do on holiday in France. The ski resort is one of the best in the world. The mood of a holiday is heightened by great wines.
Conclusion,
We often get stuck in routines in our daily lives. It is nearly universally preferred to take a break and spend a vacation in a place away from cities, preferably near nature. In this idyllic location, you can escape daily life’s bustle and stress. Depending on one’s perception of a perfect vacation destination, each person’s dream vacation can be different.
A warm, sunny beach with gentle ocean breezes is the dream of some people. Trekkers may imagine snowcapped mountains while hiking, while others may imagine forests and wildlife. Many aspects of our lives and experiences are reflected in such dreams about vacations. A vacation dream symbolizes the desire to take a break from daily life and go on a trip.

How To Write a Good Travel Essay

Introduction
“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.”
-Gustav Flaubert
Packing the duffel with the bare essentials and hopping into the car, getting behind the steering wheel and driving with no perfect destination in mind – we all dream to live such a life, don't we? Travelling to unseen places and exploring what it has to offer can be an enriching experience. However beautiful can travel be as an experience, writing a travelling essay can be quite a challenge. It may seem easy to come up with the ideas that you want to include in the essay but putting them into coherent sentences can be difficult. Your words should be impactful enough to be able to sweep the readers off their feet and take them on the cliff or make them feel the saline breeze on a beach.
A perfect travel essay must reflect the journey and highlight the little-known facts about the region. It should be infused with the character and culture of the place. If you are feeling stymied while writing a travel essay, then we have some brilliant tips for you that can make the task considerably easy for you.
8 tips for an outstanding essay on travelling
Here are 8 tips that you can cash on to produce a winning travelling essay:
- Be specific with the destination
Before you choose a topic for your travel essay, keep the time spent in the location in mind. If your trip is just for a couple of days, then do not make the mistake of writing about an entire city. Think it out practically – is it possible to travel through a city in just a few days? Take for instance your essay is about London. It is quite an insurmountable task to be able to cover all the distance even in a week. So stick to a particular destination so that you can include the nuances and minutest details of the place to paint a picture in the reader’s mind with your words.
- Less guide, more exploring
Also, the destination need not be about an exotic locale. It can be a story about an idyllic rustic location in the suburb of the teeming city. It can be about a cottage up on the hills with just the view of snowy valleys and iced peaks. Your words should give the sense of exploring and not touring. The essay should not be like a guide. It should be a view of the location through your lens.
- Know the location like the back of your hand
Before starting to write a travel essay, do your research. A travel essay isn’t a made-up story so there should not be any fake information. Readers will be looking for more than just the necessary information about the must-visit tourist attractions. So you need to go beyond the surface and include more about the history of the place. Just do not write about the restaurants – talk about the cuisine of the place and the story behind it, if any. To get into the innermost recesses of the location, you can speak to the residents of the area. To bring richness in your travel essay, you must reveal another side of the destination.
- Include the nitty-gritty
The key to an impressive travel essay is to be able to break down the location into kernels and write the core details about them. As mentioned earlier, so not just write about the tourist attractions and restaurants in the destination. Write about the lesser talked streets and unknown landmarks and the history behind them. If the place is known for its delicacies, write about how the cuisine has evolved and who had started it. From quaint bookstores to ice cream parlours to run-down shabby pubs – shed light to such nuances to bring your essay to life. You can even mention the negative things that you have faced in the place – like irregular transport modes or impolite locals. These little details will help you make your essay more impactful.
- Be creative with the writing style
Since a travel essay is more like an anecdote, there is no specific format to write it. Therefore, a travel essay gives you the scope of setting your foot into the unchartered areas of creativity. You have got the creative freedom to write what you want. You can study how the natives of the locale speak and learn some of the basic words and phrases they use. To put them into writing you can read the local newspaper to get the pulse of the city you are in. Using the colloquial lingo can help the reader get a closer peek into the lives of the people living in the place. It will reflect a slice of how they live their way of life. Your words should be simple and yet impactful to portray and not just merely narrate. Touch every bit of the rust in the roof to make the reader feel like they are on the same journey with you.
- Make it personal
The travel essay is your story. So add some personal experience in the story and at the same time do not make it self-indulgent. Include stories that can resonate with all your readers. Your experiences should be able to bring the reader back to the travel destination and connect him with the place. It should be the perfect blend of narration of the experiences you had while on the trip along with a vivid description of the place. To achieve the balance, write your essay in first person perspective to give a real touch to the story. Include the most interesting bits that will help the reader connect with you. You can even include the quotes of natives living in the area you had visited.
- Start with a captivating catch
Like every essay, the introduction is the key to make it an impressive read. The opening should be capturing enough to attract the reader’s attention. It should leave an impact and should make them want to go on reading the piece. Start with an unknown fact about the place and leave it hanging from the cliff. Use a tone of suspense to excite the readers to keep them guessing about the contents of the essay.
- Make it vivid with images
For certain places, words may fall short in being able to explain the exact description of a place. You cannot describe how the sky looked with the mountains seemingly touching the clouds or the horizon fading beyond the sea. Certain things cannot be explained in words – like the color of the sky or the water! This is where pictures come in! Providing real images of the place in between can help the readers stay connected. Vivid photos can also make the readers understand the story better by bringing them closer to it. So make sure you take breathtaking pictures of the place you are writing about. The images will help your essay stay in the readers’ mind longer.
With the above tips, we are sure you will be able to write an excellent travelling essay that will impress your professor and fetch you a good grade.

I have visited London several times, and yet it is amazing how I find something new to explore every time I visit the capital city. My visit last autumn too did not fail to surprise me. With the hustle and bustle and the rich royal history, London city has a lot to offer. Since I just had a few days to spare, I wanted to make the best out of this trip.
Although vast and sprawling, I decided to visit most of the city on foot this time. Now since in my previous visits I had seen most of the tourist-y attractions already, I wanted to take the path less travelled this time to discover the hidden gems of the city. The last time I had been to London, I had missed out on the chance to visit the chock full of literature and history that awaited me in the Shakespeare Globe Theatre. Being a student of literature, visiting the place where the Bard of Avon once enacted the plays he wrote was a spellbinding moment. And guess what? I also caught a staging of the Macbeth before I left the place. Before heading towards the Hyde Park tube station, I grabbed some of London’s famous Fish ‘n’ Chips from the oldest food market of the city, the Borough Market. From Hyde Park to Tower Hill in under fifteen minutes by Tube, I began exploring the Tower of London. It was there that I heard a guard speaking about where he hailed from. A quick conversation with Peter, I had gotten intrigued to know more about his village – Suffolk in Lavenham. I asked him how to get there and Peter, being the quintessential helping guide that Londoners are known to be, told me that I could either take a car from central London. Or I could wait for the next day and take the train from Liverpool to Sudbury and then take the bus route 753 and reach in around two hours. Having nothing to do, I spent that day in the British Museum and walking on Oxford Street.
The next morning, I started my journey to the quaint village of Suffolk. I had picked up a book about the village where I learned that the village had once housed Henry III in 1257. And a bonus for all the Harry Potter fans – the village also starred in ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ as Godric’s Hollow where Hermoine and Harry are seen to be visiting Bathilda Bagshot. On reaching the village, the first thing that grabbed my attention was the picture-perfect silhouette of prosperous medieval England with all the half-timbered houses. The lime-washed and brightly coloured buildings added an idyllic element to the village with the De Vere House standing out from the rest. Adding to the rustic touch was the fifteenth-century St Peter Church with its soaring height of a 141ft tower. The autumn breeze welcomed me as I walked on the leaf-covered high streets. I saw some young guns cycling around in a park and called out to them for directions. My stay for the trip was an Air BnB home-stay where I had to put up with an elderly couple – the Havishams. I still remember how on reaching the gate of the house, I had caught a waft of crumpets and hot scones. After an exchange of banalities followed by me gorging on the scones, I had found out about the hidden gems from Mr Havisham who happened to be quite a cheerful talker. He told me what a must-visit Hadley’s was when in Suffolk. I had then set out with a local map to find the hidden gem. On reaching I had found that Hadley’s was a cutesy ice cream shop, almost run down, run by an old lady. Here Rebecca told me how the ice cream parlour was opened back in the 1850s and was still known for their hand-made sorbets.
Like the sorbet, my stay in Suffolk had been a sweet experience – a trip of revelation. The tour – with all the lonely walks – had in an inexplicable way helped me to get my perspectives right. It isn’t the exotic locales and the flight above the clouds that make travelling my drug. Rather, it is little but beautiful discoveries like Suffolk that feed my wanderlust. Thank you, London. Thank you for being a wonderful experience, once again.
