A travel backyard experience can feel just as refreshing as a faraway holiday when the setting is right
When you think of traveling, it doesn’t always have to be: “going to another country”. “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. You don’t always need flights and suitcases to feel that holiday rush — sometimes a “travel backyard experience” brings the biggest surprises, the shortest drives, and the most relaxed moments.
Road Trip: South Africa
First of all, it is not always possible for everyone to travel the world. A “travel backyard experience” prove that a great escape can start just a few kilometers from your front door. 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.

Do things like:
Sunset drinks in your own garden or balcony. One table, two chairs, something cold in a glass — that’s a holiday ritual.
Local food night. Order from a restaurant you’ve never tried nearby or cook one destination-themed meal.
One full “offline afternoon.” No emails, no to-do list, just rest like you would on a real trip.
Short scenic drive the next morning. Even 30 minutes makes the break feel complete.
