I’m looking to go away in March (from UK), I normally like to pack a tent onto my bicycle, find a ferry to to Europe and explore. But this time I think I’d like a short trip somewhere hot, no cycling. I’m looking at holiday websites but it feels a bit like when I’m in the supermarket trying to find a particular product on the shelf, there’s just too much going on and I feel paralyzed and dumb. Tell me how you do yours so I can get some inspiration please :)

Well for this winter holiday aside from being forced to see family I dislike on Christmas Eve, I’ll be staying home and and avoiding people and interactions with anyone who isn’t my girlfriend or one of 4 other people for the next 14 days.
I love to follow a tradition with set pieces even though they are a bit stressful. Agenda for Christmas is meet, snacks, eat, open gifts, tea or coffee, leave. I try to stay home for the rest of the time and lay a couple of 1000 piece puzzles, watch some shows and relax at home.
New year’s I go for moderate drinking and watch Áramótaskaupið (Icelandic New year’s sketch show) then watch the immense amount of fireworks people blow up at midnight. After that head to a small party for a couple of hours as a reunion and at 3am go home and have a short video game session.
It sounds like a lot but since it’s always the same and there’s no loud music at any point it’s manageable. :)
We usually have the christmas parties at my house and I am able to go to my room. I would be a lot more anxious if I had to go somewhere else to a party that I could not go away from. I always dread having to go out for other parties.
Tenerife is a great winter destination. It’s cheap, warm and relatively close. The southern part of the island is touristic and could be described ‘full English breakfast’ but the interior and north is much more authentic and interesting.
