Ireland: Steven Spielberg
Steven Spielberg, an American film director, is known by the fact that he likes to travel the most unusual places of the planet.

Laguna Beach: Warren Buffett
Since 1958 Warren Buffett has been living in quite a modest house in Omaha, by billionaires' standards. Actually, the businessman does not like occasional investments and an unplanned vacation. So, until recently, he and his family rested in a sunny place in the state of California - Laguna Beach, where he bought the house in 1971. But he decided to sell it, because nowadays the rest in this famous place costs a lot of money. Laguna Beach attracts tourists with its climate, incredible beaches, various events and festivals.
