Describe a place that you visited that you found peaceful.

You should say:

Where is it?
When did you visit this place?
What you did there?
Explain why you found it peaceful.

Sample Answer:

In the mindset of chaos, finding peace is crucial for our physical and mental well-being. Having said that, I would like to take this opportunity to describe a peaceful place. This is a hill station which is situated in the lap of the pristine Himalayan range, which is just a few hours away from my city.

I actually visited this place during the off-season and I must say, it turned out to be the best decision ever. There were hardly any people around except some locals and a few tourists like me. This made the whole place feel untouched and quiet.

While I was there, I mostly just walked along the trails, hiked to reach my hotel, sat by a really beautiful lake and contemplated about my life. Mornings there were specially peaceful due to its scenic location. I enjoyed a good cup of coffee and a lovely book that I was reading at that time for all the mornings that I was there. I didn’t really make an itinerary so there was no rush of doing anything.

What made it more impactful, I believe was absence of pleasant weather and ample presence of nature. This gave me a chance to actually sit without constant notifications. So, to encapsulate, I would definitely say that this small hill station was the quietest place I’ve ever visited.
