We all have a dream destination that we’d love to travel to - somewhere where you’ve always wanted to go, but never got around to visiting. While some would love to go on Safari in South Africa, others would be happier lounging on the white sand beaches of Greece. Whether you’d like to travel near or far, there can be many barriers to travel. Perhaps you simply don’t have the time to travel, or think that the total cost of the trip might break the bank? Or maybe you have fears about not being able to speak the language, or your health not being protected while abroad? With this in mind, Staysure would love to hear from you.

Here’s what Staysure have to say: “At Staysure, we believe that if something’s worth doing, then it’s worth doing right. That’s why our customers voted us the UK’s Best Travel Insurance Provider in the British Travel Awards.

We all want to be able to enjoy our holiday, knowing that we will be covered should something happen. We do not want to have to worry about possible repercussions and for that reason having good quality travel insurance should be a priority.”

If you could book a ticket right now, where in the world would you like to visit? What are the barriers that are stopping you from going (eg health, finances, mobility, fear of flying)? Is travel insurance important to you when booking a trip? Does travel insurance give you the piece of mind that you’ll be protected when abroad, or do you have some reservations about what will be covered.

So whether you want to take the trip of a lifetime or just a short weekend away, share below what it is that’s stopping you and you’ll be entered into a prize draw where one lucky GNer will win a £300 voucher for a store of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck!

I would love to travel to the Galapagos Islands, somewhere I have dreamed about going. It would be fabulous to see the wildlife on these unspoilt islands

I visited Rome for the first time last year and would love to go back, such a beautiful city and so much to see. I would love to combine it with a visit to Sorrento, Naples and Pompeii. Just need to save the money!

I'd love to do bear and whale watching with Northern Lights as the icing on the cake in Canada. Saw a TV programme with the train with a glass roof that would be wonderful.
I do have issues getting travel insurance as Mr GB has high BP and I'm living with stage 4 cancer and ongoing treatment. We're determined to do as much as we can while we're both well.

I have always wanted to visit Machu Picchu , would actually love to see all the wonders of the world, i can dream!

New Zealand would be not only stunning but I could meet up with my NZ relations again. The length of the flight is the issue for me. Surely after a certain age we should have an automatic upgrade to Business Class to enable us to lie down!

I would love to go to Bora Bora as my daughter went on her honeymoon and it looked amazing. The main thing that is stopping me is that my husband doesn't like long haul flights. x
