River Cruising: What's it Really Like?
Because sometimes I do write posts for other bloggers.
Akatuki thank you so much for shearing your experience and work with us. I would say Dangerous-business.com sums up and enterly faculty in tourism 🙂 You`re sure helping us sheaping the travel bug some may have hidden in us. Just reading your posts I understood travel the world equals accept the world and self the way it is. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for this blog. It's delightful and inspiring.
I have a question. I'm in my twenties and interested in going on a backpacking trip through Europe for about 6 weeks–by myself. Without using a travel program. (I'd have a self-made itinerary but it wouldn't be through intrepid travel etc.). Does this seem like a stupid idea? Not safe? Any advice or experience you can share would be so helpful.
That doesn't sound like a stupid idea at all, Rachel! Europe is GREAT for a solo backpacking trip, because there's so much to see and so many other travelers around all the time, too.
I traveled around Western Europe for a month two summers ago with Busabout, using their hop-on, hop-off tickets. It's not a guided tour at all – it's just a bus pass, basically. But it was great because it made it really easy to meet other travelers, and I never had to worry about how I was getting from one place to the next!
i am a female in my 20s from ireland and i am going volunteering in a chrildrens orphange alone in bangkok . is it safe for women to travel alone in bangkok. any advice ?
There are always lots of tourists in Bangkok – and for that reason alone, I think it's quite a safe destination. I would expect some culture shock, though – Bangkok can be really crazy!! Also, I would make sure to read up on common scams in Thailand and Bangkok. The most danger you face is falling prey to a scam. Which of course isn't terrible, but also isn't fun!
Thank you so much for your response! I feel much better. You've got a really great site here. The best travel blog I've come across.
Travel does what good novelists also do to the life of everyday, placing it like a picture in a frame or a gem in its setting, so that the intrinsic qualities are made more clear. Travel does this with the very stuff that everyday life is made of, giving to it the sharp contour and meaning of art.I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within.What you've done becomes the judge of what you're going to do – especially in other people's minds. When you're traveling, you are what you are right there and then. People don't have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road.Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.
Firstly I would just like to say that your site is pretty awesome; I'm loving the Tolkien theme!
Currently I am writing a persuasive speech for my communication class on why everyone should travel at some point in their lives, and I'm looking for a good solid quote from a blogger who has been out and about in the world. So my question for you is, "How has the world changed you? And what would it be like if you weren't able to travel?" How would you compile all your feelings about it into a single sentence or two?
I'm very excited to get your response! In fact, if any travelers have a thought on this I would be enthralled to read all of your responses!
Traveling the world has changed everything about how I see the world. The media often makes the world "out there" seem so dangerous, and yet traveling has taught me that people all around the globe are far more similar than they are different.
While I haven't read all the postings and comments I get concerned about something not mentioned. Yes, I was one of those worrying parents when my eldest daughter (I have 2) went off to Europe with 2 friends immediately after College graduation – and yes, all they took was a backback each. As a parent you start to worry "what if this or what if that", but the benefit of travel is undeniable. The one IF I took care of was that each of the girls had a Travel Medical policy – I won't go into all the details of the dozens of benefits built in and will only mention that the company (whose products I do sell) maintains a 24/7 Emergency call center that is multi-lingual capable, that they have medical experts on call should someone be needed to "oversee" the level of care being provided, and even considerable "Concierge" type services. Knowing that should those types of services is a phone call, fax or email away makes it (only) a bit easier for a parent. I'd like to know if you have the possibility of accepting advertising towards that end – or if I could offer to answer any questions your readers may post regarding this topic. Most people, and not just Americans, do not realize that in all probability their domestic health insurance will not cover them outside the country. That could cause life-long financial problems, not to speak of possible physical consequences. I look forward to a reply. Thank you for your time and consideration.
I always get travel insurance for big trips abroad and agree that it's important – especially for those "just in case" circumstances. I'm not currently running any insurance advertising, but if you want to get my rates, please shoot me an email (akatuki5.info).
In my country (as in Western Europe) it is rather common that families don't travel without an additional travel insurance.
I have one for all -year- round, whether I travel just across the border (or in my own country) or to another continent (in that case, I just pay some more euros.
When you travel, do you have to know the language? Or at least bits of it? Or do you just go and hope someone understands English?
