- Why not go travelling and never stop?
- In 2003 Troy sold everything, packed a small bag and left his home in Australia to travel abroad. He was 30. Ten years and 15 countries later, heās still travelling and he says he isnāt ever going to go back home. Last year he arrived in Portugal. To earn money, Troy works as an English teacher. Heās also a DJ in some local nightclubs.
- TROY SAYS: You can use English in most places, but you should try to learn the local language too.
- Like many students, Cerys finished university in her home town of Swansea in Wales and decided to have a long holiday. She stayed in cheap hotels and with friends in different countries. Five years later she is still enjoying that holiday. When she was in Australia, she learned how to dive. She loved it and she decided to do a course and learn to teach other people how to dive. Now she works all over the world teaching tourists to dive.

- Oliver and Kirsten Foster left the UK in 2009. In three years they travelled to Mexico, Peru, the USA, Thailand, China, Dubai and Germany before arriving at their latest home in Egypt. Theyāre both photographers, so they can work anywhere in the world. They now have a three-year-old daughter, Liona, so they have to make plans more carefully. But they donāt want to change their lives. Next year they are going to live in Ecuador and then South Africa.
- OLIVER SAYS: I love meeting new people, but you shouldnāt forget your family back home. I phone my mum every week.

2. Exercise 2
- Re: Stockholm
- Hi Elliot
- Thanks for your email. Iām very happy to help you plan your holiday in Stockholm. Iām pleased youāre going to spend some time in my home town! You asked me about the three top tourist things to do in Stockholm, so here are some ideas. First, you should visit Gamla Stan (which means āthe old townā). You can see a lot of history in this part of Stockholm and itās very beautiful. There are also some great cafĆ©s in Gamla Stan.
- Secondly, you should go to the Royal Palace. This is where our king and queen live, but you can visit some of the rooms and see some amazing things. Finally, the third place that you should go to is Skansen. Itās an outdoor museum and the zoo is there. Thereās also a lovely park nearby. You said you are going to come at the end of May. Thatās good because the weather is better then. There are a lot of outdoor things to do in Stockholm so thereās more to do when the weather is warm. I hope my ideas help you. Perhaps we can meet when you come to visit.
- Best wishes

3. Exercise 3
- Hi Maggie
- How are you? Sorry I havenāt written for a long time. I have been a bit busy because I need to plan a holiday, but I have a bit of a problem.
- The problem is that itās my sisterās 25th birthday next month and I want to do something special for her. I would really like to go on holiday abroad with her, but she often travels abroad for her work. So now sheās bored with travelling and doesnāt like staying in a hotel. I donāt want her to stay at home for her important birthday, but I donāt know what kind of holiday to plan. Do you have any ideas?
- Write soon and tell me all your news.
- Lucy
- From: Maggie
- To: Lucy
- Subject: Hello
- Hi Lucy
- Good to hear from you! Your problem with your sisterās birthday made me think for a long time. Hereās my idea ā see what you think of it.
- I think you should change your plans about what to do. You donāt need to book a hotel to have a holiday. You just need to pack your sisterās bag and find a list of her friends who live abroad. Then you make plans to visit all the people who have time to see you and thatās it!
- You shouldnāt ask her if she wants to go ā you should just do it! Your sister has probably forgotten that holidays arenāt like work trips at all. When she has remembered how much fun it is to visit her friends, she will never want to come back home again.
- Write back soon and tell me what you think!

- 3)Lucy wants to celebrate her sisterās birthday abroad.
- 4)Maggie says that Lucyās sister should stay at home if thatās what she wants.
- 5)Maggie says that Lucy should plan a different kind of holiday.
- 6)Maggie would like to know what Lucy thinks of her idea.
