My favourite holiday destination is Goa with its sun-kissed beaches and beautiful scenery. It’s an ideal place for a holiday, because it can be serene and peaceful, if you know where to go, and throbbing with life as well. You can enjoy yourself completely in Goa; hang out with friends in the shacks and just basically chill. It’s also very accessible — all you need to do is hop on to a flight and get there.
