When you think of traveling it doesn’t always have to be: “going overseas” or exploring new countries. “Travel your own backyard” (The latest buzz words – actually it’s been with us for a while 🙂 ) – refers to exploring the country you live in. Why not try it? Maybe this is the perfect opportunity to travel your own backyard and experience new adventures. In fact this article will give you all the reasons why this might be your perfect option.
Road Trip: South Africa
Well, let’s check in on the 5 biggest advantages
Particularly because there is no need for a 9 or 13 hour flight. You can do a 3 hour car ride or a 4 hour road trip to your favorite holiday resort.
A road trip is part of the holiday experience. The “getting there” part can be just as much fun. Furthermore you get to stop at small villages along the way, which you would otherwise have missed.
Not everyone is lucky enough to get a two week or three week holiday break, so exploring your own backyard is something you can do over a weekend.
Local travel is less expensive. If you save on international flights you can spend a little extra for the family spoils: Like a restaurant night or more luxury accommodation or entrance fees to a more expensive excursion.
Above all, as a special bonus, you know more about your country so you get to check out those “hidden gems” tourists often miss out on.
