Beauty of the world’s mountains
Mountains are breathtakingly beautiful and remind us how small we are. At the same time, when we look up at mountaintops, a part of us feels like we are standing there, surveying the world from high above, which can make us feel mighty.
National parks must be for people, plants, pumas – not Big Oil

Great Barrier Reef to catch it before it’s gone
While this may be great news for the tourism industry in Australia, it’s bad news for the coral reefs. There’s a vicious cycle at play here: tourists travel to see a destination before it disappears, but in so doing they contribute to its demise, either directly through on-site pressures or through greenhouse gas
Disney Travel
I had to put this one on here, of course, because it doesn’t really fit into any of the other groups. Amusement park travel, perhaps?
There may be an element of “beachy” vacation in there, but it’s certainly not all of it.
City Trips
These trips take place in a big city. Decbe Chicago, New York, D.C., London, or Paris. Or maybe slightly smaller cities, like St. Louis, Houston, or Springfield (any of them). But the main point of these trips is usually to do some sightseeing. Decbe hit up a few museums, or do a boat or bus tour.
City travel may be more fast-paced than some would like for a vacation, but the great thing about it is that there are always endless possibilities of things to do and see (and taste!)
Bhutan The key to joy?
Citizens of one of the happiest countries on Earth are surprisingly comfortable contemplating a topic many prefer to avoid. Is that the key to joy?
I think these trips are great because there are so many different cities out there, both throughout the U.S. and abroad, that have so many different cultures and unique things to offer.
Backpacking
When I think of backpacking, I tend to think of Europe or Australia, but really you can do it anywhere.
Backpacking is really a form of budget travel (as opposed to luxury travel, which I suppose I should also somehow work into my classification system.) Backpacking is also generally a longer-term type of travel than the typical vacation.
Many backpackers are younger, but that’s not always true. They carry what they need with them, and usually travel from place to place as cheaply as possible, sometimes booking overnight trains to save money on accommodations, or staying at hostels.
In many places backpacking is a rite of passage. Sometimes recent college grads will spend their last summer traveling this way before entering “the real world.” In some countries they have what is called a “Gap Year” where young people travel the world for a year, often before entering college.
Nature | Adventure Travel
For this type of travel, you need some type of outdoorsy activity.
Camping, hiking, and whitewater rafting all fall under this category.
But, you don’t need to be terribly adventurous to enjoy the outdoors.
Event Travel
This is when you travel to a destination specifically to attend an event, .
It might also include attending a music festival or following your favorite band around on tour.
One of the main advantages to these types of travel experiences is that you will be visiting alongside thousands of people who share the same interest as you.
