Holiday hotspot

Loy Mendonsa, musician:
Goa has always been one of my favourite holiday destinations. All I need is a couple of shorts, two vests and a brush and I’m ready to go. Goa means guaranteed relaxation for me. I also love Barcelona and Paris. One of my favourite vacations so far was when I visited Australia a couple of years ago. It was right up my alley. I got to hang out with a lot of musicians. I got to hear a lot of great music that was happening there at that time. We went to the Sydney Opera House for a show by a 440-piece symphony orchestra. It was a truly musical holiday.
