The Best Way to Book Hostels Around the World

The Best Way to Book Hostels Around the World

How to Book Hostels Around the World

Hostels are another popular choice of accommodation, especially for budget travellers. Hostels can be found almost anywhere in the world and are usually much cheaper than hotels. Hostels are also a better place to meet other travellers as they usually have a common room where everyone hangs out. Hostels also provide much better advice on destinations and things to do and hostels can be a good place to find people who will join you on adventures. In Australia, for example, you can find postings for people looking to rent apartments together, to rideshare around the country with, partake in activities together and so forth. Even if hotels are in your budget, you might want to stay in a hostel just for the social aspect. [Read more…] about The Best Way to Book Hostels Around the World

How to House-sit Around the World

How To Become a House-sitter

House-sitting is a great option if you’re looking to stay somewhere for a couple of weeks or more in one area. This can be really great for those wanting a local vibe as you’ll be staying in someone’s house in a local neighbourhood or in the countryside. House-sitting takes a lot of preparation in the beginning as you’ll need to create a well-rounded profile and research all the listings. I find house-sitting much more fitting for those without permanent jobs or for retired couples, though it can be for anyone. Typically, it involves taking care of pets or plants, so you need to be ready to do your part in exchange for a free place. [Read more…] about How to House-sit Around the World

How to Camp Around the World

The Best Ways To Go Camping Around The World

Camping is a unique option for both the more adventurous travellers or for those camping as beginners. It’s extremely popular among backpackers in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, but can be found in most countries around the world. While campgrounds are certainly the most common way to camp, some hostels also offer the opportunity to camp in their yard. As long as you have a tent, you’ll pay a fraction of the normal hostel fee and still have access to their bathroom and kitchen facilities. If you’re travelling long-term and really want to budget, this is something worth looking into. In some countries such as Australia, it’s also popular to just camp in your vehicle in designated areas. When I was in Australia in 2009, we just parked our vehicles on the sides of roads and slept but I’ve heard the police are clamping down on this. [Read more…] about How to Camp Around the World

HOW TO TRAVEL THE WORLD BY WATER

Sometimes you might not even need a plane to get you where you want to go. Niall Doherty from ndoherty.com has been travelling around the world without flying for the last three years. He may jump on a one-way cruise or do the unconventional thing and book himself on a cargo ship heading across the Pacific ocean for 26 days. While you may not want to be as extreme as Niall, taking a boat rather than a plane might just be the adventure you’re looking for.

TRAVEL THE WORLD BY AUTOMOBILE

Some of my best memories of travel have come from road trips. One of those special trips was back in 2011 when my wife and I took a 40-day road trip from Alberta, Canada all the way down the coast to San Diego, California, and back up through the deserts of Nevada, the red landscapes of Utah and the gushing geysers of Yellowstone National Park. It was absolutely incredible. We had the freedom to go wherever we wanted to and we could change our plans on a whim. Below are some tips for renting cars.

How Bali Changed My Life

Mount Batur Bali
Bali’s Volcano…

Back in 2009, I did something that I had been promising myself for many years. I embarked on my first long-term trip to New Zealand and Australia. For five whole months, I explored two new countries and challenged myself in ways I never imagined. I jumped out of an airplane, bungy-jumped off of the Auckland bridge, abseiled into caves, climbed a volcano, hang-glided over the sea, witnessed the twelve apostles, and scuba dived with sharks at night. Reading this makes me seem like some sort of adventure junkie, but I actually wasn’t…at the time. Sure I had slowly been exploring life’s possibilities and trying new things like white water rafting in the Canadian Rockies and riding as many roller coasters as I could, but still, I was a relatively shy guy who wasn’t really into adrenaline sports or thrill-seeking.

When I first landed in New Zealand however, I felt like a new person. I had this new zest for life. I had this incredible adventure ahead of me and I was free to do with it as I pleased. It was only 7 AM when I pulled up to my Queenstown hostel after an early flight from Canada when I noticed an advertisement for sky-diving. I figured “what the hell?”, and immediately signed up. Less than 30-hours after landing in a new country, I was up in a small plane, getting ready to jump out at 15,000 feet. [Read more…] about How Bali Changed My Life
