Let us begin our journey in France. This country has always been prevailing in the list of top holiday destinations since the day we became conscious about leisure travel. It has numerous provinces or states as well as great and historic cities. From the more distant islands of the Mediterranean to its Channel ports, you will never run out of great places to discover. And what is amazing about this country is that their transportation system is very efficient. You can travel by train to move from one place to another. In one way or the other, you will find it more affordable than travelling by plane and more comfortable than travelling by car.
In France, you can enjoy the beaches of Corsica and the Atlantic coast. In Giverny, you can take a tour of its war zones, take a cycling trip, or walk around and mingle with the locals. And don’t forget to visit Monet’s Garden. You can have great nights out in Paris or Normandy, ski in the French Alps, or watch the Monaco Grand Prix.
Italy is our next destination because this is the country where the great Renaissance began. Just by having the thought makes this country one the most exciting holiday destinations. Good weather, great beaches, great food, fine wine, nice people — what more can you expect? By the Orient Express, you can travel in the old fashioned way to even more old fashioned cities such as Venice, Florence, and Rome.
If you are inclined to things which are medieval, visit Umbria and immerse yourself in the area wherein medieval markets are still set. You may frolic through great vineyards and feast your eyes on the great works from the Renaissance. Most of all, Umbria is barely touched by tourists so expect to see how the place has been amazingly preserved.
If you love the sea, then you should go to Puglia and get astonished by its 500 miles of coastline. Discover more of Italy by visiting other places such as Sardinia, Sicily, Sorrento, and the Amalfi Coast.
The Americas
The United States of America may sound cliché for holiday destinations. But then again, this large country certainly has so much to offer. If you rent a car, then you can discover its vastness. Going on a road trip is one of the most pocket-friendly holiday activities. For a touch of glamour, you may visit Las Vegas and dance along the city lights. You may also go to the Wild West for some cowboy experience or bathe in the sun along the great beaches of Miami.
There are even more to discover when you go down the map in Mexico. It has recently become popular because of its ancient wonders such as the Aztec and Mayan structures. The country has several great beaches as well as small luxury haciendas. Whether you are up to a beach or a countryside experience, Mexico can surely accommodate you.

In this great continent, there are great holiday destinations waiting for you in the south east and one of them is Thailand.

The first in our list is by a road trip. Obviously, a road trip is less expensive than air travel and aside from it you get a scenic view of the place where you are driving to. Just keep in mind to plan ahead about your destination and the roads which you would take.
Camping is another good way to reduce the cost of your holiday vacation. Investing on camping gears may cost a little at the beginning, but because you will enjoy camping, there is a great chance that you will do it again and when you do, you still have your camping gears with you. This way, you can save the expenses that you would have to use for lodging.
