As lockdown begins to lift, many of us are already starting to think about travel plans. You might already have an idea of where you want to go – whether it’s a week in Spain, a summer in Paris, a year in Australia, or perhaps even a road trip across the continent of Europe? Whatever your travel plans, you want your experience to be unique and special. Unique travel experiences can be felt if you are a real-time traveler. If you’re looking to do things a little differently, check out these five tips for an unique travel experience that’s one-of-a-kind.

1. Volunteer

Many people often find their vocation whilst traveling, and volunteering can be the perfect way to do that.

There are hundreds of diverse volunteering opportunities across the world, whether you’re interested in environmental development, conservation projects, or humanitarian aid.

There are a number of incredible benefits of volunteering – it gives you the chance to learn new personal and professional skills, encounter unique travel experiences and form new friendships while making a positive impact on the world.

2. Distance Learning

Many people delay their studies and take a gap year to enable them to create a unique travel experience, but distance learning allows you to take your studies with you wherever you go.

This form of study is rising in popularity, with institutions like ARU Distance Learning amongst the leading providers of flexible part-time and full-time online courses.

Long-term traveling is an incredible and enriching adventure on its own. But if you have ambitions for your return, distance learning can lay the groundwork for fulfilling your goals.

3. Record Your Travels

Whether you’re a gifted artist, eagle-eyed photographer, or a wise wordsmith, recording your travels is not only a beautiful way to remember them but also the perfect way to share them with others.

If you’re the sort of person who is naturally inspired by the world around them, your travel experience could be the adventure that prompts a creative masterpiece.

Creators who travel often find that their work, as well as their worldview, is forever changed for the better by their travel experiences.

4. Go, Solo,

It’s said that some experiences are better when shared, and to some extent this is true.

But if you’re struggling to persuade a companion to join you on your soul-searching journey like going on a Tour of Berlin, there’s no reason you should miss out.

Traveling alone is a great way to develop your own independence. With no one around you to fall back on for decision-making, you’re forced to stand on your own two feet and have confidence in the choices you make. 

Travelling also means you can plan your dream journey, without having to compromise or plan around another person’s wants or life plans.

5. Be Spontaneous!

If your journey is meticulously planned from start to finish based on the advice of travel blogs and tourist guides, you’re unlikely to have a completely unique experience unless you’re willing to switch up your plans a little.

Don’t be afraid to go with the flow, saying yes to whatever comes your way. You never know where it might lead you!
