Travel Activities – Our Favorites

We doubt that you are type of person who will just sit in your hotel room or cruise cabin and never seek to explore travel activities around you. Therefore, you are probably interested in learning about the various activities that you might undertake. You don’t need to be as adventurous as we were with our helicopters tours. But we definitely recommend that you get out of your hotel room and have some fun.

There are many different types of activities that you may choose to engage in. For example, you may simply want to walk around the city or place you are visiting, or you may want to take a helicopter ride and land on a glacier, like we did on a visit to Juneau, Alaska. Here is a brief list of the types of activities that we have enjoyed, and we suggest you might wish to explore. Basically, in each place we visit, what we try to do is find a Hidden Gem activity to partake in. Accordingly, clink on the links below to take you to specific travel activities.

Specific Travel Activities:

One aspect of our travel plans is to find activities that let us be good travelers, not just tourists who don’t add anything to the places we visit.  For more information about the differences between being a traveler and a tourist, please see our post on that topic.

• Theaters: Our Favorite Theaters We have visited theaters of all kinds. Some famous like the Sydney Opera House. And some not so famous, but equally fun like the Bamboo Circus in Hoi An, Vietnam. Surprisingly, we even enjoyed great concerts in many of the churches that we have visited.
