#1 Mountains
A trip to the mountains like Table Mountain in South Africa is a popular choice for those who like to immerse themselves in nature. Whether you want to relax by the lake with the mountain view and read your favourite book, or get your hiking boots on and give yourself a challenge, a trip in the mountains offers the most spectacular time. There is always a range of different activities that you can do in the mountains in winter too, including skiing and snowboarding. This type of holiday can be a quiet one or an active one.
#2 Camping
Camping is another great option for those who want to spend more time in nature. These types of holidays are typically classed as “off-grid” as you have limited access to phone signal, internet and amenities. It is one of the best ways you can escape from the typical hustle and bustle of life, and take some time for yourself. Camping is relatively cost-effective, as camping grounds are not expensive to hire. You will however need to travel there and obtain the right equipment.
#3 City break
Whether it is San Fransisco, London or Paris, city breaks are an excellent way to enjoy good food, historical insights and a fun vibe. Every city has something different to offer, which makes them a fun and unique place to visit. City breaks that are done over a weekend are relatively inexpensive. This means that you are not limited to just picking one city, and can spread several trips across the year and tick off a variety of cities from your bucket list.
#4 Volunteer
Volunteer, or humanitarian trips, are an excellent opportunity to trade your time and skills, to do something to better the lives of others and help people in need. There are many different types of volunteer holidays all over the world, to suit your time, knowledge and skills. They can be extremely rewarding and fulfilling and are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You typically get to travel for free or at discounted prices and get to meet like-minded people. As well as helping others, you also get to enjoy your time, explore the country and create lasting memories.
#5 Road trip
A road trip is a fantastic option for those who want to see more places in a short space of time, and don’t mind spending time in the car. You can use your car or van, or you can hire a camper. You get to enjoy the fresh air, the open road and the vibe of your favourite playlists. You have complete freedom to travel where you want and stay for as long as you want.
Going on the same holiday year after year can be boring. See if you can choose a different type of holiday for your next solo or family trip.
