Imagine yourself, right now, stood at a music festival of your choice, all of your pals around you, your favourite band playing your favourite song.

Imagined it? What are you likely to do to capture this moment? Of course, it’s going to be taking a photo and uploading it to Instagram, because that’s half the fun of spending a weekend in a field, right?

Accessorize have researched into the most Instagram worthy festivals in the UK, US and Europe and plotted them on a wanderlust-worthy interactive map.

From the wonderful land of the free (USA) to the UK across to Europe – there are some pretty cool festivals to be attending.

The top ten are as follows for the US:

Coachella, of course, could not be any less than number 1 – the biggest A-Lister festival set in in the Colorado dessert, California. Whether you’re looking to pile in with friends or lounge in the lap of luxury, Coachella has lodging options for every festival goer.

The festival offers more delicious food than you could eat in a weekend, with over 100 choices serving everything from wood-fired pizza and handcrafted burgers to authentic street food and fresh-from-the-wok noodles.

It was without doubt that Glastonbury gained the throne within the UK festivals, of course – set in Somerset on Worthy Farm in Pilton, Glastonbury has been going for 47 years and started out with a capacity of 1,500 which has increasingly grown to over 135,000.

With the Great British countryside at your feet, I’d recommend signing up for your tickets for 2018.

Ohh wonderful Europe, how many festivals there are!

Sziget, based in, Hungary takes the festival crown for Europe – with a capacity of over 496,000 that attended the 2016 24th edition of the festival.

Sziget takes place on a beautiful island on the Danube every August and brings together people from all over the world, as well as musical (mainly) and other acts and events. It’s a fantastic multicultural experience, and a lot of people take advantage of it every year.

Where Do The World’s Most Successful People Go On Holiday? [Infographic]

Leave a comment

After working hard all year round and saving every penny possible, there’s nothing better than getting away for a week or two on a summer holiday to relax and recharge.

As summer begins to approach, we start searching for all the usual destinations to find a great deal.

Popular Destinations

There are a number of locations which we all love to return to every year. For example, this UK Business Insider article shows that UK residents love heading back to the likes of Benidorm, Crete and Gran Canaria each summer.

It’s also true that even though we all love to return to the same locations, more of us than ever are able to travel a little further afield.

Destinations like Central and South America, Southeast Asia and even Australia and New Zealand are continuously on the rise as long distance flights have become increasingly affordable.

Staycations

There are also plenty of us that prefer to enjoy a holiday without heading abroad. ‘Staycations’ as they have become known, are more popular than ever.

This article from the Guardian suggests that up to 2.5 million UK residents chose to enjoy a staycation instead of heading abroad. The most popular locations in the UK include the Lake District and Cornwall.

However, no matter how much money we manage to save each year, it’s fair to say that we all have our limits.

There are always a few locations or certain resorts that we could only dream of booking.

For a select few, the expense of a holiday is no issue at all, meaning they can go just about anywhere they want. Recently Silverdoor.co.uk created the infographic ‘Where Do The World’s Most Successful People Go On Holiday?’.

Taking some of the biggest business names from a range of different industries, this infographic gives us a chance to “see how the other half live”.

Take a look for yourself to see where the likes of Forbes no.1 Billionaire Bill Gates, Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg and many other people choose to enjoy their summer holiday.

Hollywood Celebrity Summer Vacation 2013

Leave a comment

This summer, many Hollywood celebrities make news only by visiting famous holiday spots and showing off their bikinis and swimming attires. From Hawaiian beach to Mediterranean Sea, Hollywood celebrities welcome summer by enjoying sun in even warmer (and more exotic places) than LA. Some bring their kids, others enjoy romantic holiday with their mates.

Who are Hollywood celebrities that recently grace many magazine covers and social media albums with their summer holiday pictures in exotic places? Let’s find them out.

Beyonce and Jay Z
This dream couple spent their summer holiday in Mediterranean Sea, cruising with their private yacht to Italy and Spain along with their daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. This summer holiday apparently doubled as birthday holiday, as dear Mrs. Carter turned 32 when they started the cruise. Beyonce regularly posted her holiday pictures in her personal blog, including her pictures with Jay Z on their yacht.

Bradley Cooper
The actor apparently chose to spend precious ‘me-time’ by himself, when he was spotted by paparazzi relaxing alone in Hawaii beach last Saturday. He spent time swimming, cruising on the beach and just enjoying himself. He even chose not to bring his girlfriend, a model named Suki. The Hawaiian holiday was his last free time activity before he starts a new movie project with Cameron Crowe.

Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams
These two famous tennis players apparently chose to spend their precious summer holiday time in their own country, taking a short break before the next championships and sport events. Serena chose to spend summer by taking a break on Miami Beach, while Rafael Nadal chose to going on a yacht cruise with some good friends.

Penelope Cruz
Apparently, Penelope Cruz has no problem at all showing off her body in bikini, only 2 months after giving birth to a daughter. She and her husband chose to spend summer holiday in warm Corsica, spending time together with their friends on beach cruise and yacht trip in Mediterranean Sea.

Pink and Nicole Kidman
What are the similarities between Pink and Nicole Kidman? Nothing, except that they were just spotted spending summer holiday in Indonesia. They went to Yogyakarta and apparently quite succeeded in avoiding paparazzi for some time. They spent time by shopping in Malioboro Street as well as visiting Borobudur Temple and Kaliurang area near Mount Merapi.

Hayden Panettiere
The former Disney Star, who a couple of months ago became infamous when sporting misspelled Italian phrase as tattoo on her ribcage, was just spotted in Miami Beach, a favorite spot for many celebrities to spend summer holiday.

Jennifer Lawrence, Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis and Ang Lee
These four celebrities also have similarities: they just spent summer holiday in the exotic Belize. In fact, these famous four had stayed at the same resort, the Chaa Creek, which is famous as one of the most favorite holiday resorts in Belize for celebrities due to its strict privacy policy. Leonardo DiCaprio was also seen spending holiday in Belize, but that is because he owns one of the small islands nearby.

Now, as winter approaches, we can start to expect some great winter holiday snaps from more celebrities.
