If you were to look at most travel marketing materials, then you’d assume that the only type of vacation available was to live it up on a beach or go culture-hunting in a cosmopolitan city. But that’s of course not the case. There are plenty of different types of vacations you can take. Indeed, whatever you’re interested in, there’ll almost certainly be a travel adventure that you could build around that interest. For example, if you love the great outdoors, then you may consider taking a nature-infused travel trip. Below, we’ll run through some of the best options available to adventurers.
Take a Hiking Vacation
There’s no better way to see the world than by walking it! There are plenty of fantastic hiking destinations all over the planet, including right here in the United States. All you really need to do is find accommodation in the hiking-friendly area, pack your hiking supplies, and commit to a few days of walking in some of the most stunning scenery on the planet. There are hiking trips for all hiking levels, so even if you’re a complete beginner, there’ll be a trip that’s right for you.
Join an Expedition
Looking for something slightly more adventurous? We don’t blame you — you only live once, and it’s important to see what we’re capable of while we’re here! Of course, some excursions require expert knowledge and professional assistance, and it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to do it all on your own. Thankfully, there are professional expedition groups that’ll take you and a host of like-minded individuals on the adventure of a lifetime. It doesn’t matter what type of adventure you’re looking for; there’ll be something willing to take you! It could be a trip to Everest base camp (or even up to the top if you’re more experienced!), a rainforest trek, or a week-long kayaking adventure.
Stay in Rural Accommodation
Some people love going on adrenaline-fuelled adventures when they’re in the great outdoors. Others prefer to just spend some time reflecting on the beauty and majesty of Mother Nature. If that sounds like your idea of a perfect getaway, then take a look at simply booking yourself into rural accommodation. There are eco lodges that’ll allow you to sink into all the wonder of the great outdoors, and these types of accommodations work in conjunction with nature too, ensuring that your trip is eco-friendly. Once there, you can venture out to explore if you like, but you can also sit back and truly unwind.
Rent a Campervan
Another option is to rent your own wheels and go on a long road trip into the great outdoors. You can do this in your car, but for the most fun and freedom, look at renting a campervan. That’ll allow you to go wherever you please, secure in the knowledge that you have a warm bed to enjoy once you finally decide to stop for the night. A word of warning, though — you’ll likely want to buy a campervan once you’re back home!
