Eight Great Tips for the Adventurer

Eight Great Tips For The Adventure Traveler

This friendly tip, and more like it, found at www.splicker.com

1. Embrace the place. Be sure to explore around the corners, go into
the one of kind shops and meet the locals. Find out where the towns
folk go for coffee and the newspaper in the morning and join them.
DON'T have breakfast at the hotel.

2. Plan a trip with a theme and find an expert in that field to give
you advise. For example an archeology trip, a wildlife safari, or a
trip to discover local pottery and fabrics.

3. Read books written by authors from your destination. Go to a lecture
on the country

4. Learn some language. Just knowing a greeting or two will endear you
to the hearts of the people.

5. Pack lightly. Too much luggage will make or break your trip- and
your back. Remember when you could get everything in a backpack? Check
www.llbean for their travel clothes. Pack things that don't need
ironing and can be hand washed.

6. Take a small digital camera. It's worth the investment. No film to
buy or worry about and when you get home you can sort it all out on
computer and make a great presentation for family and friends. Adobe
and Fuji can help you get started.

7. www.hobotraveler.com has some fun ideas for the traveler who always
wanders away from the tour group

8. Before you go, find a group or club with a similar dream - and get
some like-minded travelers to go with you. How about a group of
white-water rafters who have always wanted to raft the Nile? A shared
experience multiplies the joy.
