My best holiday ever was staying in the Maldives Islands, at the Anantara Dhigu Hotel. We had a brilliant time doing water sports and eating in restaurants near the hotel after resting for a few days when we first got there. And the most exciting thing happened: my boyfriend asked me to marry him! We were walking along the beach one evening and he suddenly asked me! After the walk, we had a special dinner of fantastic fish and fruit dishes on the beach, but we were so excited that we couldn’t eat much of it. We went and sat by the sea and watched some baby sharks in the water. Last September we went to Cornwall, England after our wedding. I’ve been to Cornwall’s beaches in the rain before, but we were lucky with the weather this time. While we were staying there, I decided to start surfing, so booked a lesson and loved it. One of the worst things about travelling is losing your luggage. Once, my suitcase was lost on a flight to Germany. I was singing in a concert in Baden-Baden, which is famous for its natural bot baths. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have many clothes shops! I had to borrow a friend’s old jeans to wear while I was doing the show! Holidays are good for a rest from work, and for learning new things. But ten days on holiday is usually long enough for me, then I want to get back to work.
