Consider a Holiday in a Place Less Travelled?

There’s constant talk about the world’s best beaches, most famous cities and number one destinations to travel to, but I got to thinking, what about all the remarkable pristine gems of the world which is just as spectacular as the Eiffel Tower in Paris or a Safari in Africa. Why is that when planning a holiday we always travel to the typical holiday destinations without even considering unique landscapes of the world?

Majority of Australians are willing to fly 10 hours or more to another country, yet haven’t even planned to explore our very own backyard. Australia has always been famous for its beaches; sure Bondi beach in Sydney is beautiful but can turn unpleasant when you find yourself in a maze of over-tanned people from just the sea to your towel. It’s time to explore the divine coast of Australia such as Bakers Beach in Tasmania just an hours drive from Launceston, Bremer Island which is nestled off the coast in Northern Territory, and one of Australia’s best kept secrets is Spring Beach in QLD, but there’s so much more to this little country we call home, if only we took the time to really get to know it.

Antarctica is one of the most amazing and inimitable places on the planet, yet most of us wouldn’t even think of a holiday there until we’re engrossed in the discovery channel of Polar Bears.  Antarctica allows you to follow in the footsteps of great explorers and discover the magical sights over the Antarctic Peninsula, a picturesque moment where the icy waters flirt with the mirrored glaciers. It’s unique wildlife creates a surreal world of its own with enchanting scenes of humpback whales surfacing, King Penguins families frolicking through the snow, seals just hanging around and other animals playing in the icy depths while the crystal ice-carvings curtain as a backdrop. 

If you have to choose only one rainforest in the world to visit, then it has to be the Amazon rainforest. The Amazon is the largest rainforest which crosses over 8 South American countries and is also known as the “Lungs of our Planet” providing about 20% of earth’s oxygen. This astonishing jungle provides not only great views, but a captivating culture which is a once in a lifetime experience.  

Europe is another hot spot but there are still so many places which are less travelled.   Travel to Malta for one of the best climates in the world with an exotic adventure overlooking stunning landscapes. Or for a small town charm with magnificent views of the Alps travel to Slovenia. Play hide-and-seek with the legendary Loch Ness Monster in Scotland, or sing the sound of Music in Austria. 

Don’t limit yourself to a small selection when the whole world is in your hands, just choose the right destination.
