Lets start with the bottom-line. Obviously, you can book a trip to anywhere in the world. But if you are not a seasoned traveler or have a company taking care of the details for you in advance, you may find yourself at a bit of a disadvantage and overwhelmed -- making your trip a frustration for the word 'go'. What I mean is that no matter where you ultimately decide to travel, it is equally if not more important as to How you travel. This will have the greatest impact on your overall experience, memories you create and potential friends you make.

First things first, lets be realistic and clarify which category best describes you to determine your planning.

Will you be part of a tour group, which is tightly controlled and managed? There are great deals out there for group travel. Or will you be more spontaneous and have the freedom to stay a day or two longer if you like? How you travel will ultimately influence your modes of transportation -- rail, coach, ferry and air.


The Tourist:

Is willing to pay good money for little or no inconveniences.
Gets detailed itineraries on hour to hour/ day-to-day activities.
Will be told when and where they will eat on a tour.
Trusts in package deals as to accommodation or transportation.
Will be chauffeured to and from most attractions and monuments
Usually has a very limited amount of time to sight see and take photos.
Will meet other people with fairly similar tastes and likeness.

The Traveler:

Wants to be creative with their travel arrangements.
Can save money by finding their own accommodations online.
Will not have a set schedule to keep. After all, isnt it a vacation?
Has the freedom to extend, cut short or avoid a stay in any particular area.
Does not wish to be told when, where and how much time they have to eat.
Can take all the time in the world to do whatever they want. Ex. take pictures, lounge at a sidewalk cafe, soak up the sun or stay in one attraction all day.
Will intimately experience the world on their terms.
Will have a better chance to meet, mingle and mix with the local crowd to truly appreciate the culture and lifestyle.
Is more likely to have an uninhibited, unforgettable time.

Above all, its the people you meet that will have the greatest impact on the opinions you form of a place and are the memories that stay with you the most. There are so many adjectives to describe the characters (and I mean that in a good way) Ive befriended. They have respectively been welcoming, tolerant, good-natured, free loving, down-to-earth, unbelievably loud, obnoxious, strangely familiar and unique in their own way. And it was through a variation in methods of travel that I encountered each individual.
