Parçayı okuyup her bir resmin hangi tatil türünü anlattığını bulunuz.

There are many types of vacation we can list. As any other things in our lives, we consume fast and are easily fed up with usual vacation types, so new types of vacation have appeared nowadays. Here are five new vacation types some of which you may not have heard before. You can read and plan your upcoming vacation accordingly.
Voluntourism
Voluntourism is a popular kind of international travel. It helps you contribute to the development of a country while exploring around at the same time. When you participate in a well-organized volunteering project, you help implement a long-term development of a country or culture. You should use your skills, time and energy to make a difference that may last longer after you have come back home. In your spare time, you can go sightseeing.
Ecotourism
Ecotourism is an environment- friendly travel to natural areas in order to enjoy and appreciate nature and cultural features. If you are sensitive about environment and the well-being of local people, ecotourism is just for you. However, it is not so simple. It requires a level of tourist awareness. You should try to give as little harm to environment as possible but also support the local community as much as possible. This doesn’t mean that your experience will be less pleasant. In contrast, this appreciation attitude often makes you enjoy your experience even more.
Digital Detox
When you feel too much connected and you are losing the pleasure of the real communication, you should immediately have a digital detox holiday. This may keep you away from the digital world for some time. Digital detox vacations offer you a way to escape from your busy routines and provide you with the suitable environment that makes you forget about your smart phone. Imagine a vacation with a tech-free attitude without phone or TV in your room. You will be highly disconnected. Is it too annoying? Think again because they promise you that you will live the ultimate paradise experience.
Staycation
If you don’t want to spend too much on your vacation but still want to have it, staycation is just for you because it is a vacation that you can spend at home or nearby. Sometimes spending a few days in your own home can be the most satisfying one. Staying up the night watching your favorite movies, cooking your favorite food or doing some sightseeing in your town can be really relaxing. Moreover, you can focus on your projects or do some home office work. When you stay at home for vacation, it’s important that you make a conscious decision on which will be the most beneficial to you; getting a lot of work done or relaxing and having some fun. Will you be more peaceful if you lay down to work and do tasks around the house or do you really need several full nights of sleep and time for leisurely conversations with your beloved ones?

My First Experience Traveling Solo

Hello!
I am Johnny Daniels.
I’m about to finish my first solo travel and as I’ve no one else to talk about it, I want to share my experience on my blog.

I’ve traveled around Africa on my own for about three weeks. I’m 24 years old and I haven’t been away from home before. It was very annoying at the beginning but I’ve adapted quickly and felt very well at the end of the first day. I’ve always been an introvert person so my friends were surprised when I said I wanted to travel alone. However, I feel more confident now because I’ve showed them that I could do it.

I stayed in small hostels and it was so enjoyable to make friends with new people. I was lucky because the weather was nice, not too hot or not too cold. If you want to have a solo travel, consider the weather conditions of your destination and make your plan accordingly. I strongly advise you to choose fall or spring seasons depending on the amount of rainfall because if you have a small budget, you should choose to walk sometimes.

Of course, solo travel has some advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are you can do whatever you want, you can go wherever you want to, you can eat and sleep at any time and you don’t need to make a consensus while doing these things throughout your travel. However, carrying your heavy luggage and the night time can be its disadvantages. Night time frightens if you are alone because it’s really dangerous to be out, so you just sit on your own in the hostel by eight pm.

Finally, I can admit that for the past three days, I’ve started to feel miserable as I’ve felt the loneliness. Having no one to share the wonderful experiences or to talk about what you are going through can be sometimes depressing, so in this case, I think I’m ready to return home. I’ve experienced the travel of my lifetime and I’ve enjoyed solo travel. This made me prove that I can also do things on my own. Although I’ve enjoyed myself as a solo traveler, I don’t think I’ll do it again. I think a friend will accompany me with my next travel as I’ve had a longing for someone to talk to (remember I’m a loner person!).

Anyone who has read my experience, thank you all! I would be glad to read your experiences in your solo traveling.
