Sustainable Travel

If you’re looking to make your trip a little friendlier for the environment and the local residents at your destination, try sustainable travel.

By picking a spot that is either closer to home or committed to protecting local natural and cultural resources, consider an adventure that will leave a minimal carbon footprint.

Then, grab yourself a bed and breakfast or independent hotel, find a few locally owned restaurants, parks, or museums within walking distance or a short public transit ride away, and explore!

Experiential Travel

This revolutionary travel trend is sweeping social media by storm.

Instead of visiting the most popular tourist spots or sampling the local cuisine, experiential travel is the practice of immersing oneself into the deep roots of a culture and its practices.

With the help of companies like Airbnb, travelers can go on actual adventures. Stay in a home in a small neighborhood rather than a hotel, eat where the locals eat, and then you can even seek out the source of your food’s ingredients at nearby farms. There, you could be taught how to harvest or prepare said natural ingredients in the most traditional of ways. This way, you’re not only seeing a new place and meeting new people, but you’re also creating an opportunity to connect and understand the culture and lifestyle of the residents.

With experiential travel, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind experience that could potentially change your worldview forever.

Solo Travel

This emerging style of vacationing has become especially popular since the start of the pandemic.

Aside from the obvious fact that booking airfare and hotels for one is cheaper than booking for a pair or a group, there are many fantastic benefits of a solo trip.

You can go anywhere and do anything ̶ all at your own pace without worrying about someone else’s expectations. You can also gain an entirely new perspective through your solitude.

Insightguides.com suggests that traveling solo can help free you from distractions and provide you with “permission to slow down.” You can meditate on your travel experiences and deeply absorb the atmosphere of the new culture and environment around you.

So, whether you try sustainable or experiential travel or opt to vacation completely on your own this summer, you’ll certainly have a unique and memorable time. No matter how you style your journey, you shouldn’t forget to insure it. Check out our selection of plans to find one that meets your needs and your budget.
