Where are you going on holiday this year?

Austin, the state capital of Texas, is known as the 'Live Music Capital of the World'. By day, you can browse music and record stores and perhaps try on a few cowboy boots. By night, you can enjoy live music in clubs, concert halls or at a festival. What more could a music lover want? And there's also the city motto: 'Keep Austin weird'. Let's just say that playing *Chicken Shit Bingo* isn't even the craziest thing you can do in this quirky city.

To the east of mainland Tunisia is the island of Djerba. Amazing beaches and plenty of sunshine makes this an ideal location for beach lovers. The island's biggest bazar can be found in the capital Houmt Souk. Here, you'll find all sorts, from fresh food to fine clothing and colourful earthenware. If you prefer a bit of history, head to Djerba's Roman ruins or visit North Africa's oldest synagogue.

The capital of Senegal, Dakar, is of course known from the famous Dakar rally. But the city is also a great starting point to discover the rest of the country. Senegal is bursting with natural beauty. You can go bird watching in Djoudj National Park or spot wildlife in the Bandia Reserve. It might not be as big as other reserves in Africa, but it's still worth a visit to catch a glimpse of rhinos, giraffes, buffalos, monkeys and crocodiles. A real eye-catcher is Lac Retba, a saltwater lake with a striking pink colour.
