One question before starting, what do you do when you say you are travelling? Take a plethora of pictures to show off your travel itinerary to your friends once returning? Buy ample remarkable products for giving to your family to prove that you have been to that place? Shopping endlessly and just flooding your luggage? No, this isn’t what I mean by travelling. Travelling is the thrill and excitement that drives inside you. The feeling of being unique and doing bizarre things in this world is exploring! Of course, travelling is much more than taking abundant selfies.
Imagine that feeling that you would sense once you move out of your comfort zone and do things which you never expected to. Doing some crazy things is the real fun about travel, irrespective of you being with your family or friends. In this article, I have come up with seven fun things that you can do while you are travelling. Travelling is about leaving a legacy of how wonderfully you explore and give character to this world. Read this article and keep doing fun things in life!
1. Participate in some local events with your friends:
What fun it would be to explore the local culture of the city with your friends where you are staying. During your stay at your travel destination, you can surely plan to be a part of any local events and steal some fun out of it. You can book a concert to see the native pop singer. You can also reserve your dance floor at a beach party. What about a one-day trip to the town? Also, some places in the world have some exclusive festivals viz. Mud Festival, Ice Festival, La Tomatina, and many more. After all, you wouldn’t want to miss the fun.
2. Make new friends by synergizing with strangers:
Having your friends with you on a trip is fortunate. However, making new friends on your travels is quite exceptional. Curiously, an individual like me who is confused with being extrovert or ambivert loves to make new friends and get to know people who are strangers to me. Making new friends on your trip can make unforgettable times for a lifetime. Having a deep conversation with your stranger friend in a cafe, with some charming food, and the company of crystal head vodka can make for a fascinating evening.
3. Do something unique – out of the box:
Guided expeditions gear you to the famous destinations and not to the remote ones. You should try and do something out of the usual criteria of travellers. For instance, explore an isolated town near your destination of stay. It might prove to be fun if you go on a self-exploring trip throughout the city with the help of locals. You can learn some regional language or unique art while you are at a place. Or you can try living like a monk in a monastery. How about being a hotel roomie? These are the memories which you will cherish later in your life.
4. Get a fellow traveller to join you on your solo ride:
Often, bike riders meet their fellow riders on road trips. They join each other and elevate the experience of others. Similarly, while travelling, you can get a fellow traveller to join you. Accompanying someone with similar interests like you will not only make your journey more fun and exciting, it will also give you a chance of making new friends, maybe, even friends for life. Also, if you want to make it more challenging, make a friend who is opposite to your nature, and then see what happens on your journey. Fights, clashes, the difference in opinions, but adding to your bucket, an overall lifelong extraordinary experience.
5. Party and Forget Everything:
We travel to enjoy ourselves and we party to do the same. Travelling gives you every chance to party. There are endless partying spots all around the world, where you can visit and experience the best of food, liquor, people, and music. Worldwide partying spots are some of the most unexplored places out there and the list never seems to end.
The best part about these spots is that there is one for every kind of person. Be it a loud music carnival for a party animal or just a sophisticated gathering for people with similar interests, you can always find a party hub which you can enjoy to the fullest.
6. Wander and taste the most unusual foods:
When you travel, you must ensure that you hit the best restaurants, cafes, bars, or multi-cuisines to cater to your appetite needs. It would be the craziest thing to strike into the streets of the town you are visiting to try some exotic food options available. It is noteworthy that countries like India, Thailand, France, Japan, and many more have surreal food options to offer to the globetrotters’ community. If you are a food lover, you must try doing this foodie endeavour in whatever country you are staying in to have the greatest fun.
7. Be a traveller like you have never been before:
Most travellers tend to progress safely. My advice is that you become a traveller as you have never been before! Next time when you plan a trip, try to add a road trip to the plan. You can also go for motorcycle riding or mountaineering. Maybe you can enjoy a meal in an undersea restaurant. Think of doing those things which you normally wouldn’t do. You will then realize that there are many more options to explore. Tip – Whatever you do, never repeat the fun, make it new.
Conclusion – Try these seven things whenever you travel today or in the future. However, do not restrict yourself to these activities only because life is all about exploring.
