When you think group travel, you think expensive, and, you think just hanging around with fellow tourists, right? And you pronounce “tourist” with a sneer, don’t you? Well, you just might be wrong, according to an article in Australia’s theage.com. Their point: work with a travel agent (or research it yourself) to find a group that caters to YOU. The article busts some myths along the way - group travel need not be expensive (in fact, it can save you money, and the author gives a nice example of a solo traveler getting in the wrong toll lane in Portugal, and having to fork over about $85 for his mistake). Then there’s the matter of “not being able to mix with the locals” - and you won’t mix, if you just spend your time in restaurants and bazaars - you have to get out and do something physical , i.e., go for a walk, rent a canoe, climb a hill - got that? You can travel in a group - and make it an authentic experience. Click here for ideas - but mostly, it’s up to you. |
