What's it like abroad ? Never been before, so want to make the effort this year to go abroad. What's it like ?

Shouldn't you be getting your uniform ready for back to school on Monday, OP?

It's brilliant abroad. You'll love it. They do speak funny though and the food is obviously weird.

Sorry I don’t mean to be flippant but it all depends on where you want to go and what type of holiday you’re looking for. Some places are lively, some are very quiet. If you can be a bit more specific you’ll get better advice.

Depends where you go, there’s so many places you could choose and they’re all different.

Magical. Abroad people are all friendly, abroad food is all delicious and abroad is lovely and safe. Some of my happiest memories have been abroad.

It's full of dragons. Stay at home.

It is going to depend on where you go. Some places will seem pretty similar to the UK and others will be wildly different. Where do you want to travel to?
