Places To Travel: Exotic Holiday Destinations There is no response to the question of where are the very best places to visit on vacation. The very first question to ask isn't what place to go but instead what kind of traveler have you been? What Sort of Traveler Are You? * Are you currently a Phileas Fogg? Have you been a global traveler who measures success by how many countries visited? * Are you currently a Robinson Curuso? Would you benefit from the out from the way and off the beaten path? * Have you been a Geoffery Chaucer? Could be the trip more about individuals you travel with compared to the destination? * Are you a Henry David Thoreau? Can be your ideal vacation just a quiet place near home? There are numerous different traveling styles or different goals for travel. * You are able to happen to be move away from it all. * You can happen to be understand a brand new culture. * You can go the party. * You can travel to reconnect with family and friends. * You are able to travel for adventure. What is Your Travel Style / Budget? Some individuals prefer to stay in the home than stay in anyplace that did not need 5 stars. Others could not imagine staying in any place more fancy than a youth hostel. Some who'd love to keep at the fancy resort can't afford to. Before you travel you will need to figure out your travel budget and style. What sort of style you like may help determine where you could afford to travel and for how long. My wife and I planned a visit to Hawaii before our first child was born. After considering our budget we had to decide a road visit to San Diego would be a better option. One if by Land, Two if By Sea... Three if By Air? Do you like road trips? If so what about a domestic itinerary. If you like the outdoors or history you can visit national parks. If you want sports consider a tour of major or minor league ballparks. If you like big city lights would a visit to New York, Chicago or Las Vegas be within your range? Do you prefer cruises? Consider only packing and unpacking once and letting your hotel (ship) travel from port to port. From the East coast of the United States, Bermuda and the Caribbean are both easily accessible. From the west coast, Mexico or Alaska offer very different vacations.


If you like to fly and can afford it then Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America beckon. Europe offers familiarity for American visitors but with loads of history. Europe offers destinations from the familiar London and Paris to less familiar destinations like Croatia, Slovenia and Estonia. You have to be willing to manage another language or driving on another side of the road. Africa offers unforgettable wildlife experiences or the wonders of ancient Egypt. Additionally, it offers ancient churches dug in to the rocks of Ethiopia or remote destinations like Timbuktu. It will need many travels to obtain further outside their comfort zone. Asia offers ancient cultures and new economic powerhouses. Your trip may be to overwhelming Travel Channel places like New Delhi that will challenge even veteran travelers or safer more familiar destinations like Singapore. South America offers better exchange rates than Europe but less political stability. It provides European style cities like Buenos Aires or ancient Incan cities like Machu Picchu. Something I have learned from hosting the Amateur Traveler for over 36 months is that there are numerous more places to travel than I'd originally considered. It'd never occurred if you ask me to: * Go to Tonga and swim with whales. * Begin to see the stone churches in Ethiopia. * Do an evening tour of Petra in Jordan. * Begin to see the wild horses in Mongolia. The more I learn about travel the more places I do want to go. What is the greatest place to travel to? For me personally, it is obviously the next place. Chris Christensen is the host of the popular Amateur Traveler travel podcast. Places have Geographical features which are exclusive and unique. Places have been around for tens of thousands of years and have accumulated a wealthy history and associated culture, art, architecture and folklore. It's difficult to have these through books or the internet. The places have to be traveled to get the authentic experience. At some point in life, after college, after retirement, during business trips, during holidays, a long trip outside your country of residence can make you see the planet for yourself. With an increasingly global economy, the international travel experience is a property which is often a major advantage in a competitive situation. You will find known and important places which are frequently visited e.g. London, New York and major capitals of Europe and North America. These places have grown to be an amalgamation of different cultures and visitors also turn into a the main same. However, close to the same places and in the exact same countries, are less known places which may have a definite and unique culture and these exotic places are in general more fun for the reason that what you see there is something new and about which little has been written. The writer writes about such places centered on his personal experiences during visits to these places.
