What is your Travel Type?
Truman left his village for Fiji to meet his ex-girlfriend in "The Truman Show (1998)". In "Home Alone2 (1992)", Kevin took the wrong airplane and arrived in New York. And Funny things which he has never done before happened to him there. Like what Truman and Kevin experienced, traveling during vacation can be a good chance for you to have special memories in your life. First of all, you should think about what type of trip you prefer before leaving on a trip. There are several types of vacation trip according to the purpose for the trip.
The fist type of trip is involved in someone who wants to take a rest. Do you think that the reason for a trip is to relax with a cup of coffee and music? If you do, you are of this type. You may prefer staying in one place for very long to going around, and taking a look at yourself to meeting new people. You need some places which have calm and peaceful atmosphere. For example, Ko Samui, Thailand, is one of the most appropriate places to take a rest. The natural environment is preserved as it is. Therefore, visitors can enjoy clean sea which is so clear that they can see the sand on the bottom.
Another type is an adventurous trip. Some people want to go where everything is different from what they are used to. In addition, they prefer some places which most people do not visit yet or even mind visiting, because there is little information on their destination. This type of people may say, "If your feet are not perspiring, your trip is not perfect." For people who aspire to be of this type, Tibet is one of the best countries as the first to travel. It will be unforgettable memory to live with nomads, milking and shearing the sheep.
The last type is about people who hope to enjoy urban cultures. Most people of this type hope to blend in with citizens living there. Also, they are busy looking around from museums, galleries to fancy restaurants. Suppose someone of this type goes to Bangkok. She reserves Bangkok Oriental Hotel which attracts millionaires and celebrities from all over the world. After that, she goes to Bangkok National Museum to learn about the Thai royal cultures. At night, she enjoys having a cocktail, admiring the scenery of Chao Phraya River where many people go aboard a cruise to see many Thai floating houses.
There are three types of trip such as 'rest' type, 'adventure' type and 'urban culture' type. Although every types of trip can bring a refreshing and new experience, but you need to know what type you are of. This is because each type has different demerits in its own way. So find if you are 'rest', 'adventure' or 'urban culture', and you will be able to minimize weaknesses of each type of trip.
You're 100% correct about the beaches in Ko Samui; beautiful, crystal clear water and clean, safe sands!

ReplyDelete1. Your catagorization is interesting; vacation for taking rest, enjoying adventure and experiencing urban culture.
2. I like your supporting details of each paragraph, but if you had used other examples for adventure or urban culture, it would have been much better. For example, Australia has a jungle, a desert and a rain forest so it's good for adventurous trip. And New York or Paris is good for enjoying urban culture.
3. What you quotate in the third paragraph is impressive as it is appropirate and makes the paragraph look strong. "If your feet are not perspiring, your trip is not perfect."
4. OVerall, I really like this. This is informative and a pleasure to read.
