Places To Travel: Exotic Holiday Destinations There is no single response to the question of where are the best places traveling on vacation. The very first question to ask isn't what place to go but rather what sort of traveler are you? What Sort of Traveler Are You? * Have you been a Phileas Fogg? Are you some sort of traveler who measures success by how many countries visited? * Are you a Robinson Curuso? Can you benefit from the from the way and off the beaten path? * Are you currently a Geoffery Chaucer? Is the trip more about the folks you travel with compared to the destination? * Are you a Henry David Thoreau? Is your ideal vacation just a quiet place near home? There are numerous different traveling styles or different goals for travel. * You are able to go get off it all. * You are able to go find out about a new culture. * You can travel to the party. * You can go reconnect with family and friends. * You are able to travel for adventure. What's Your Travel Style / Budget? Some individuals prefer to stay at home than remain in anywhere that did not have 5 stars. Others could not imagine remaining in anyplace more fancy than the usual youth hostel. Some who would love to stay at the fancy resort can't afford to. When you travel you need to determine your travel budget and style. What sort of style you like will help determine where you are able to afford to visit and for how long. My wife and I planned a visit to Hawaii before our first child was born. After looking at our budget we'd to choose that a road visit to San Diego would have been a better option. One if by Land, Two if By Sea... Three if By Air? Do you prefer road trips? In that case think about a domestic itinerary. If you like the outdoors or history you could visit national parks. If you like sports look at a tour of major or minor league ballparks. If you want big city lights would a trip 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 different vacations.


If you like to fly and are able after that it Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America beckon. Europe offers familiarity for American visitors but with lots 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 cope with another language or driving on one other side of the road. Africa offers unforgettable wildlife experiences or the wonders of ancient Egypt. In addition, it offers ancient churches dug into the rocks of Ethiopia or far off 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 places like New Delhi that'll 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 three years is that there are many more places to travel than I'd originally considered. It'd never occurred in my experience to: * Go to Tonga and swim with whales. * Begin to see the stone churches in Ethiopia. * Do a night tour of Petra in Jordan. * Begin to see the wild horses in Mongolia. The more I understand travel the more places I wish to go. What is the better place to travel to? For me, it is definitely another place.
