Round the world travel is becoming
increasingly popular with gap year students and seasoned travellers
alike, both for the reasonable price and the hassle free travel.
Whether you’re heading east or west there are numerous destinations
to wet your intercontinental appetite, so here are some of the best
countries to visit if you’re travelling far and wide.
New Zealand – Often overlooked in favour of its
larger neighbour Australia, New Zealand is a stunningly beautiful
place to visit. The rolling green hills, deep valleys and large
lakes are truly breathtaking, and were used in the filming of the
Lord Of The Rings trilogy. If scenery is your thing then New Zealand
is a must. And if you’re looking for great beaches too then New
Zealand will not disappoint, with miles of coastline on the north
and south island to enjoy. If you’re heading to the south island
then Milford Sound is a must see. Famed by Rudyard Kipling and often
seen as the eighth wonder of the world the tall peaks and serene
water make it the country’s number one tourist destination. A two
and a half hour cruise will cost around £45 per adult in peak season
and £10 for a child. The boats take you past the huge mountains and
you can often see a whole host of wildlife, including the native
penguins resting on the rocks at the foot of the hills. Argentina – Thanks to its diverse scenery and
weather conditions, a visit to Argentina can be like visiting many
different countries. The country is home to a rich number of
possible destinations, and boasts some of the world’s best natural
sights too. The Valdez Peninsula is perfect for those who like to
get their feet wet and explore beneath the waves. The town of Puerto
Madryn is a good place to visit, as from there you can book dive
courses, search out the best fishing places and try your hand at
sports such as windsurfing. A number of animals live in the Valdez
Peninsula, so expect to see penguins, seals and whales if you go
looking. The
Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the few glaciers in the
world which are still in a state of advancement, whilst others
around the world are melting at previously unseen rates. A boat trip
to the glacier for the day will cost around £80-£100 and often
includes lunch, so search around for the best price and package to
suit your needs. Thailand – A popular destination for gap year
travellers, Thailand is good for the variety it can offer its
tourists. You’ll find cheap hostels for those on a budget as well as
luxury hotels if you’re splashing out. The nightlife is one of the
main attractions, with the famous full moon parties and cheap drinks
attracting throngs of tourists, especially in the summer months.
Dive courses are offered at competitive rates, so shop around for
the best price if you’re interested in doing one, as you’ll often be
able to barter the price down a little. The beaches are spectacular,
with clear blue water and white sand as well as snorkelling
opportunities for those who wish to see some sealife but not pay for
a scuba session.Please use this Google Search box for more Round the World
