Even with covid restrictions now easing, I feel it’s safer to holiday in my own state.

I would prefer to stay in Australia to be honest. If I had to choose overseas, I would pick New Zealand or England as I have family there so I would save on accommodation

England or New Zealand for me, mostly because I have family in both places so I would save money on accommodation. Personally, there’s lots to see here in Australia, holiday in your home country and help a fellow Aussie out

You can’t go wrong with New Zealand. It is an absolutely beautiful and friendly country.

I would go NZ! It is a tad expensive but the exchange rate is lower than here

New Zealand is lovely – lots of natural places to see. We went to a Kiwi Bird House, zoo, black sand beach, glow worm cave and there were heaps of things we didn’t get to see!

I’d go for a South East Asian country or NZ.
Most staff members at resorts in S.E.A are English Speakers & have most signs in large cities in English as well.
Or, NZ – what a fantastic place to take a holiday!!! Hire a car or van & just drive. My husband and I saw a fair bit of the South Island in only 4 days (obviously with kids, you’d need a little more time for rest stops etc but you’d definitely be able to see quite a lot in a week). Flights can be quite cheap (don’t go in snow season, go just after – Sept or Oct) and you’d get to see the rivers running quite high & fast.
Good luck and enjoy!

Fiji, is great for just relaxing and everyone is so friendly. Turkey is great, you can see the Grand Bazaar, the Blue Mosque, Gallipoli, Ephesus, there is so much to do there.

I just got back from a cruise me and my family went to Vanuatu with carnival cruise , it was my first cruise and I have to say it was great they took us to so many great places and the cruise is very clean and they all speak very good English.. I will deff be going back in a few yrs…
Also the food is great and most of them are free and also free orange juice and apple juice and lemon squash. Only have to pay for alcohol and soft drink but yeah it’s great u would live it I know I sure did
