At the age of eighteen I was pretty disappointed and pretty embarrassed to be going on holiday with my parents, but none of my friends could afford to go away that year, and my parents were offering me a free holiday! I decided to go because of the [place that they were going. Dad had wanted to find something cheap, and he had found flights to Fuerteventura online at half the price they normally were. My dad is a sicker for a bargain so that was all it took to decide the location of the holiday.

I love being in the sea, and I was looking forward to the holiday because of the possibilities of windsurfing. The place was meant to be absolutely amazing for water sports so I wasn’t going to miss the opportunity for that reason alone. I have to say that in that respect the holiday was great, but the best thing about it was the night life! I wasn’t about to start hanging around with my parents in the evening, and on my first night I headed out to the main drag in the town we were staying in called Corralejo. There was music pumping out of all the bars and there were some great nightclubs above them. After a half an hour or so I met a few lads from England, and once I got past the embarrassment of telling them that I was here with my parents we actually all hit it off. I had found a group of friends for my holiday and there were some brilliant pubs too! What more could I want from my holiday!
