Travelling can be quite an adventure especially if well prepared for. The first few times you do this it can be a little tiring and stressing especially if you did not take time to plan ahead. There is a lot of material on travelling and expeditions and so one should be well equipped with information about where one intends to visit.
Below are some of the factors to consider when planning traveling.
· When are you travelling?
This is always a good question to ask yourself. Are you travelling when there are many people traveling? Most destinations tend to be a little cheaper during the tourism off peaks.
What is the expected climate at the time you plan to travel? You need to pack the right baggage otherwise you will have to spend money say buying winter clothes if u packed summer gear for winter.
· Are you making your first trip?
If you are travelling for the first time, it is important that your first trip be to a place that is “close to home”. This means a place where the language spoken is one you understand and the culture is similar to one you are familiar with.
· Are you travelling with kids?
This can make or break a vacation. If you have kids think of places that will keep the kids entertained, safety for the kids, the kind of transportation used in your travel destination and also important is the suitability of the local food to the kids. If you have kids for instance, it would be unwise to plan for mountain climbing or going to very remote places.
· Are you financially mighty?
If you are planning on little cash it is advisable to travel to developing countries as they are generally cheaper as opposed to high end destinations like Russia that cost an arm to visit.
· How strong and adventurous are you?
If you are young and plan to travel time and over again, you should plan starting with high adrenaline destinations. This includes activities like mountain climbing and long distance cycling. It would be unwise to visit easy sports while young only to realize in your 80’s that the only new places left for you to travel are skiing and mountain climbing destinations.
A good travel destination that I love is Australia as it offers various places for all.
· Bungle Bungles.
In the bungle bungles or the Purulent National park there exists a 350-million-year-old massif that rises some 578 meters. Made of condensed sandstone the range has caves and tropical pools that are home to some very unique wildlife and mammals.
· Kakadu
It is a massive 20,000 square kilometer ecosystem that has a tropical biodiversity that has well over 1,700 plant species. It is home to both saltwater and freshwater crocodiles.
· Fraser Island.
It is the world’s largest sand Island that measures 123 kilometers in length and 22 kilometers in width. It has rain forests, 100 fresh water lakes and 240 meter high sand dunes. It has diverse wildlife including dingoes.
