1.hey everybody welcome to this a2 English listening practice video you can use this video to train your listening and comprehension as I speak you ready so today I'm going to talk about travel traveling is one of the funnest activities I've always loved traveling when I was young my family and I traveled to Hawaii many times in case you don't know much about Hawaii it's an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and it's also one of the 50 states of the US I've been there about six or seven times I don't remember how many exactly it's definitely one of my favorite places in the world Hawaii has plenty of really beautiful beaches and the lifestyle there is slow and calm but even though Hawaii is one of my favourite places to travel to in general I prefer the countryside the forests or the mountains more than the beach so I love taking camping trips and road trips I've taken a few different road trips through the US before and I just recently took a road trip through the tuscany region of italy it was one of the most incredible experiences I've ever had if you ever get the chance to go to Italy I highly recommend you to rent a car and drive through Tuscany trust me you won't be disappointed speaking of Europe I also took a backpacking trip through Portugal in Spain a few years ago it was my first time backpacking and it wasn't easy we spent a lot of time walking and taking buses and trains and the whole time we had these big backpacks on her backs we stayed in some pretty low quality hostels and thus we had some bad experiences the worst thing that happened to me was that I was bitten by bedbugs when I was in Madrid I don't know if you've ever been bitten by bedbugs before but it's not a fun experience and for me it was worse because I have really sensitive skin so I didn't just have little red spots on my skin I had big swole sores all over my arms so if you plan on staying in hostels when you travel you should definitely read the online reviews first sometimes it's better to pay a little more money to stay in a better place some people only like staying in hotels and other people really like air B&B ease and lately I've been staying at air B&B ease no matter where I travel it's definitely better than staying in hostels in my opinion another aspect of travel that's really important is the flight this is probably the worst part about traveling actually it is the worst part definitely I've been pretty lucky because I haven't had any really bad flights but I have had experiences with long delays and canceled flights which can really ruin your trip there were two times when I had to spend the night at the airport which was terrible I hope you guys don't ever have that experience so overall there are good and bad things about traveling but I think we can all agree that it's nice to travel once in a while okay that's all for today leave a comment and tell me your favorite place that you've traveled to I'll see you next video
