If you’re thinking about your next holiday destination, why not consider something a little different? If you’re normally all about the sun and the seaside, why not mix things up and experience new adventures? If you’re ready to step out of your comfort zone, here are some awesome suggestions for 2016.
Backpacking
Backpacking is not your average holiday, but it can open you up to a whole host of unforgettable experiences. If you’re used to all inclusive convenience, this may be a giant step in the other direction, but travel is all about broadening your horizons. This year, why not think outside the box and head off on an adventure off the beaten track? Sleep under the stars, immerse yourself in different culture and see spectacular sights. If you’re not comfortable with roughing it for weeks on end, don’t worry. You don’t have to camp everywhere, or go for days without a decent meal. There are plenty of comfortable hostels and guesthouses around. You can also combine adventures in the wilderness with more luxurious city breaks. The beauty of backpacking is the freedom to explore. Hire a campervan, or invest in a round the world ticket. You can tailor your trip and design your own itinerary. You’ll often find that you save a lot of money booking a flexible round the world ticket, rather than single flights.
