There’s no one right way to travel; you don’t need to be told that. What feeds the soul for one person isn’t going to hit the mark for others. And that’s part of the beauty and appeal of travel. There are many ways you can explore the world to personalize your travel experience.
But if you don’t want to waste your precious time shuffling about an airport waiting to board and take off to the skies, and you want the journey to be part of the experience, what are your options?
The Classic Road Trip: Freedom on Four Wheels
The road trip is a classic for a reason and still a popular way to get around and experience more of the world. Regardless of your country or destination, booking a car or taking your own and seeing what the open road has to offer you is a brilliant way to travel. You can create a plan and stick to hitting all the major points of your route with precision, or you can meander along, taking in detours, heading off to little back street diners, or stopping off at a little picturesque coastal town. So whether you’re doing the iconic Route 66 drive or you’re zig-zagging through the Scottish Highlands, the road trip could be exactly what you need.
Cruising: Your Floating Hotel
Cruises are the opposite of spontaneous adventure, but they’re just as appealing. Imagine unpacking your suitcase and waking up in a new destination every single morning. And all for the price of one ticket. You get to travel the world while sipping cocktails by the pool, and if you want to, you can disembark at each destination. Meaning you get to explore different countries and cultures to enrich your cruising experience. And you get all of this with great food, live shows, and state-of-the-art amenities that make you wonder why you ever want to get off board.
RV Hire: A Home In The Road
If you want to explore but a road trip isn’t your thing, and you’re more of a homebody who likes comfort and having their own belongings to hand, then RV travel is the option for you.
Hiring an RV means you can take to the road and stop off wherever you can, be it at a full hookup RV Park, on a hidden coastal road, or in a National Park. There’s a place for everyone to pitch up and stretch their legs. And just think, you get to go everywhere you want with no packing and unpacking, no having to eat out constantly, and more importantly, no having to engage with others if you don’t want to.
Train Travel: Slow, Scenic, and Memorable
There are trains that get you from A to B, and then there are trains that take you on a journey. There’s something calming about settling into a seat and watching the landscapes whizzing by past your window. No need to keep your eyes on the road, no need to worry about falling asleep as the motion of the train lulls you into slumber; it’s the perfect way to chill out and relax. From longer journeys through the Canadian Rockies to the Trans -Siberian Railways, there are some epic routes across the world that transport you to somewhere completely enchanting.
