There are those who choose to spend their summer holiday lying on a beach and watch their break fly by in popular resorts of Spain, Portugal and France. But for people who want some fun and excitement in their holidays, who want to get out there and explore some of the most exotic countries in the world, there are adventure holidays.
Adventure travel is becoming increasingly popular and it is easy to see why, with the endless possibilities available. Travelling to a country which challenges your preconceptions and gets you out of your comfort zone can give you a great sense of achievement and allows you experience something new and exhilarating. Hot destinations to visit now are Latin America and East and Southern Africa, where you the chance to meet a diverse range of people, see a huge amount of different wildlife and experience adventure activities you’ve never done before and simply can’t do at home.
There are a range of companies that offer tours around the world and some are more recommended than others. Some companies offer budget expeditions that make seeing the world a lot easier and affordable for those who are conscious of their wallet. This can save you a lot of time and effort, as booking your own holiday can be time consuming and frustrating. Many young people opt for escorted tours because they cover all the highlights of the destination, and as they are normally run in groups of around 20-30, you can meet new people and have the experience of a lifetime all rolled into one.
The tour operator will set each group up with transport which is comfortable, modern and spacious. These types of transport are particularly important when travelling through Latin America and Africa, where safety is important. Your accommodation is organised too, so you don’t have to worry about where you’ll sleep at night, you can just go with the flow. Budget tours are usually camping, but in some destinations cabins can be booked for an extra fee. Most of the camping equipment is provided for you, so usually you’ll just need a sleeping bag and sometimes a mat.
Some handy travel tips are: don’t flash your jewellery around. Wear subtle jewellery or none at all, and this will help you to blend in a bit and reduce the chances of you being targeted for theft. The same goes for cameras – bigger isn’t always better! Take only what you need on your adventure holiday, if you really need a couple of extra t-shirts then you will be able to buy them when abroad. A good rule of thumb is to pack your bags, and then edit them so that you take half as much clothing and twice as much money as you originally packed. Remember, you will have to carry your rucksack wherever you go so the less to carry the better. It’s also handy to have a light cotton bag for shopping at markets, because you won’t have to accept plastic bags – and that’s better for the environment. Remember to take out comprehensive insurance to protect you from all eventualities but the most important thing to remember is…Enjoy yourself!
Choosing an adventure holidays will be the best decision you make in a long time. The experiences you will take away will stay with you forever, there are some great tours around the world available and you should take advantage of them now.
