What would you do differently to what you do now?

I would like it if people would just be nicer to each other all around, so I try and treat others as I want to be treated in hopes that it gets passed along.
Favourite holiday destination and why?
I love going to North Cyprus. The weather is amazing and so is the food, It’s beautiful, the water is clear and warm and It’s not too congested.
