Add Some Spice To Your Next Vacation

By Evan Garcia


Do you get tired of spending all of your vacations with your family? Are you tired of being made to feel selfish because you want to do something else on your vacation besides sit on a couch and stare at your parents' television? Getting over the guilt can be hard. At the same time, why should you get to take a vacation you enjoy once in a while? Why not have an adventure on your next vacation? Heck, you might even be able to fit in weekend adventure treks and still have time to spend with your parents looking through the old photos (again). Here are some adventure travels that you might enjoy.

It may be hard to believe, some cruises are classified as adventure travels. Some available cruises have target destinations, such as Europe or the Greek Isles, which can be excellent ways to journey out and acquire information about the great moments in history and touring historical locations. Don't you want to see first-hand the location of the first Olympic games? Don't you want to tour Stonehenge? There are many options to keep you active while on the boat. These cruises generally have various options for staying busy - like rock climbing and sea diving. There is more to a cruise than lying on the lido deck! Dude Ranches can be amazing adventures for the whole family. The Ponderosa Ranch in Nebraska provides you with a laborious ranch vacation.

You can sleep in the ranch's guest cabins. During the day you are a true ranch hand. Guests ride horseback and assist in round up and driving the ranch's cattle from one section of the land to another. At night there are campfire stories, home cooking and other great activities to take part in. During your free time you have tons of options, from hunting and fishing, or hiking to horseback riding. This is a great vacation for families because people of all ages and skill levels are welcome.

Try out a Llama Trek! Anybody can go horseback riding. Hurricane Creek Llama Treks in Oregon are a great way to have some wacky adventure travels without having to leave the country. During these treks, you camp outdoors and you are responsible for bringing your own equipment (and setting it up/taking it down) and packing and unpacking your llama bags. These types of adventure travels are great because they let you choose--you can either ride your llama or walk the trails yourself and lead the llama with you. When else over the course of your life will you be able to say that you've gone llama riding?

The point of adventure travels is to get people outside of their comfort zones. They help you to experience sides of your personality that you usually like to hide. Are you bored of sitting on your couch and daydreaming of what life could be like on the other side of the world? Have you always wanted to scale a mountain, swim with dolphins or camp out in the great outdoors of Australia or New Zealand? These are all available to you. It's as easy as choosing what kind of adventure you dream of and get out and do it. It's easier than you may realize.
