We know that the sole purpose of a trip is to enjoy it to the maximum, but it is also true that on many occasions, due to not knowing or not thinking about certain aspects, there are situations or activities that are not contemplated and that we believe should be enjoyed on a trip.
That's why we want to leave you a selection of what we believe, are 10 experiences that you should enjoy on a trip.
1. Research and read up on the place you are going to before you travel.
This is one of the most important things you should do to get the most out of a destination. Although it is not necessary to spend months reading about the destination or to know all its history, having a general knowledge of the history, culture and customs will allow you to enjoy the destination much more and, above all, to understand it.
2. Taste the local food
They say that a town is mainly known for its gastronomy and as we always say that food is not to be trifled with, we encourage you to try as many traditional dishes as you can and also, whenever possible, to find out what ingredients they contain and how they are cooked.
We assure you that Introducing gastronomy as an important part of travel is one of life's great pleasures. great pleasures in life and one of the experiences you should enjoy on a trip.
3. Do something you have never done before on any trip.
Have you ever wondered when was the last time you did something? If the answer involves a long period of time, there's no better time to remedy that than a trip.
Treat yourself to a hot air balloon ride, go to a restaurant you've always wanted to go to, take a parachute ride, go on a trekking through breathtaking scenery, sign up for a wine tasting or do anything you've never done before.
It will be an unforgettable memory of the trip and a special moment for you.
4. Meet new people and talk to them to get to know a destination first hand.
If there is a perfect way to get to know a town, it is through its people. Allow yourself some time and meet new people. Give them some time and ask them about their country, their customs and above all, soak up everything they tell you. That is the true culture and wisdom of the people and we assure you that there is nothing like knowing it through their own words.
5. Give yourself time to be alone
They say that happiness is greatest when it is shared. We wouldn't be able to confirm or disprove this, but what we do know is that giving yourself time to be alone on a trip is an experience that all travellers should experience.
You don't have to travel alone to do it. Give yourself a few hours and go for a walk, experience a sunrise or end the day enjoying an unforgettable sunset and then tell us what you think. What do you think?
6. Look for green places and take the opportunity to relax.
On many occasions, especially when we travel to cities, we forget about the green lungs, losing ourselves only in the asphalt. Whenever you have the opportunity, look for a space where you can surround yourself with nature and take the opportunity to take a walk, relax or do a picnic.
We can assure you that you will only need a few hours to recharge your batteries and be able to eat your way through the city again.
7. Put responsible tourism into practice
This is one of the experiences that all travellers should put into practice and learn to enjoy on a trip. We don't need to go to extremes, we just need to know a little about the subject and be aware that many small gestures can change the world.
Carry a stainless steel bottle and refill it with water whenever you need it and you will avoid buying plastic water bottles, don't throw rubbish on the ground, don't waste water because you are not at home, don't do any activity with animals that is not responsible?
8. Leave room for improvisation
Although we said before that it is important to read and know the place you are going to travel to, leaving room for improvisation is something you should experience on your trips. That feeling of freedom, of being able to adapt to situations without planning, is one of the best ways to get to know a place and, above all, to enjoy it.
9. Look for an souvenir original, if possible local handicraft
Normally we always like to take home a souvenir of our travels and that means, practically always, going into the aisles of the everlasting shops of souvenirs. We are not going to deny that in many occasions they are the easy and often economic resource, if you have to take a lot of souvenirs, but we advise you, whenever possible, opt for details of local craftsmanshipWe do not deny that they are often the easy and often economical option if you have to take a lot of souvenirs.
10. Enjoy the pleasure of doing nothing
This, although it may seem incredible, is one of the best ways to enjoy a trip. If you have the ability to give yourself that time to yourself, to do nothing, forgetting about the visits, the rush and the clock, we assure you that you will be able to connect with the destination and everything you are experiencing in a much more personal and intense way than you had imagined.
