Make your travel a little more sense …

Too often, the trips can be planned as a mad shopping spree, adding new sites the route as fast as you can, thinking "The more the better! In fact, when it comes to see as much as possible, there is much to be said for not you disperse. Sometimes it is better to spend a little more than learning the history, tradition and people of a place, that lots of samples at once. It would take a lifetime to travel to really understand even a single country, so you will not be short of things to explore.

Touring the country and plunge a little deeper into its culture means unlocking the mysteries of the past and your inner explorer. Temples, monasteries, castles ancient ruins and memories are full of people long gone and provide a fascinating and unique history of a country, as well as a welcome break in from the busy world of modern travel. Step back in time and off-airport check-in and the queues of tourists and you can discover these Countries all over again.

The place to be

The best places to visit on a cultural tour are those whose history and culture that you are really interested in. Africa and Asia have cultures that are distinct from ours if they had an immeasurable appeal to Western for a few hundred years. The mad rush of colonial African and Asian lands was not only a product of their location, but owes much to their beauty and usefulness. Diversity, color and enchanting traditional life continues to fascinate all who visit.

Tip top

Asia gets our vote as the most visually stunning place to take a cultural tour, but the choices are many and varied. Countries as different as Pakistan and Japan offer the adventurous pioneer visits to places very different. Maybe you want to know the origins behind a troubled past of Cambodia amongst the jungle covered Khmer temples, or to learn more about the world's next superpower, China? Also, as one of the world's oldest and most diverse on earth, India has close to several cultural tours in one!

The life of the inhabitants

Culture is not integrated in buildings and books, the best part of a travel experience can meet new people. If you stand too close to the tourist trail and you rarely meet traditional communities. Stand back and follow the beat will help you meet people with different traditions and expand your horizons. Whether it is helping to build the stoves in a village in the Andes or visiting the ancient cities of rural Thailand, looking for a country through the eyes of his people is a truly rewarding experience.

Top Tip

Africa is still an unexplored area. While the head of thousands on the plains of Kenya to see the Big 5, less than to take this opportunity to explore the amazing cultural history here. A country that is not unjustly known as the "cradle of humanity," the people here embody the traditions and cultures as old and as rich as anywhere on Earth. Maasai herders and warriors once dominated the plains of East Africa, but life is now a mixture of nomadic culture and the influences of the modern world. Exploring this part of Africa has one of the most exciting cultural experiences in the world, but also an overview of the conflict of traditional crops and modern.

In recent years, travelers have become more interested in meeting and learning about people in foreign countries rather than just enjoy their views. Cultural tours are becoming very popular as a way to see a country in a different light. As long as they are done responsibly, they offer the possibility for people to really separate connect with each other and enjoy their differences. They can travel experiences to be the most informative and authentic you'll ever have, with memories that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

About the Author

I’m totally passionate about travel, it’s been my life and work for a good few years! My travel adventures haven’t really been about seeing monuments etc but far more about people and getting off the beaten track. Even in a country that has large numbers of tourists you can still find hidden places if you look hard enough, living and working in country gives you such a different perception of it and more of a chance to absorb the local culture. I would like to share my many experiences and offer a little advice if I can to fellow travellers or anyone who is just about to set off on a life changing trip!

Gay Travel – Get Off the Beaten Path & Pave Your Own Road to Adventure

Tired of burning up hard earned vacation time on family reunions, weddings and the pre-requisite Christmas and Easter visits with the family? Are you thinking that it’s time to do something different, something challenging, something rewarding with your time?

Then it’s probably time to put some thought into getting off the beaten gay path and look into exploring adventure options. The easiest way to break down your options is to look at the obvious and then dive into adventure.

Let’s tackle Asia first! With direct and in some instances non-stop service from North America to Asian cities like Hong Kong, Singapore, Beijing, Tokyo, Manila and Seoul, it is easy to see why Asia holds such a fascination for many gay travellers. Some of these cities actually have quite a buoyant gay life due in part to the large ex-pat communities that live in these cities. In Singapore for instance you’ll find gay bars, restaurants and cafes. But in most Asian cities the gay options are pretty scarce and when they do exist they operate under the radar.

But that actually presents an opportunity to really explore Asia in a different light. Unless you’re travelling to gay beach meccas like Phuket in Thailand then you are probably going to have to get off the beaten path to explore the real Asia. This region is so fascinating for so many reasons and it’s incredibly varied as a result. Why not consider a trip through the former French colonies of Vietnam and Cambodia. This region, once known as Indochine or Indochina is an area that will get your adventurous spirit flowing.

Vietnam is a beautiful, coast hugging country running from Hanoi, the capital in the north to Ho Chi Minh City in the south. But don’t just stop at the cities! Make sure that you visit the picture postcard Halong Bay where you can take an overnight junk boat into the island sprinkled bay where you can swim and kayak in the clear water. Spend a couple of days in the Hoi Ann, a world heritage site where you can take Vietnamese cooking classes and get made to order clothing. When you get down to Ho Chi Minh City make sure you visit Uncle Ho himself. Ho Chi Minh is credited with helping the Vietnamese to expel not only the French but also the Americans in what they call the “American War”, not the Vietnam War as we are taught. He is embalmed and lies in state for public viewing. Kind of creepy but hey, how often to you get to see an embalmed national war hero?

Cambodia is also another Asian destination that is pretty much off the beaten gay path, but you won’t be disappointed for making the effort. Strolling through the imperial palace grounds in Phnom Penh is such a different experience from the tourist swamped royal palaces of Thailand. There are so few tourists that you can take your time and get some pretty amazing photographs. Cambodia does have a very sad and tragic past and you must spend some time understanding the massacre that took place in the 1970′s. The Khmer Rouge rose to power and wiped out entire generations of their own people. The elite, teachers, business people, lawyers and doctors were all killed as the Khmer Rouge attempted to revert the country to a feudal society and one based solely on farming. It’s a sad history but an important one to remember.

The absolute highlight of Cambodia is however the ancient ruins of Angkor Wat. Wow, is pretty much the only way to sum it up. Anyone interested in Asian cultures surely has this site on their Top 10 list. You will marvel at the intricate stone carvings of the various temples and ruins. Watching the sun set and the sun rise over the ruins are two definite musts. Be warned though, it does get more than a bit crowded…this is now well and truly a tourist highlight. People from around the world make their way to Siem Reap to view the temples. And it does get stinking hot, especially as the sun beats down onto the stone ruins. But, it is so worth it. You will be amazed at the craftsmanship of the ancient Khmer culture.

The further you get off the beaten gay path the more you’ll realize that the world is an incredible place full of amazing people, places and things to see and do. Let Gay Adventure Travel become your new passion. Don’t be afraid to take a chance and to challenge your view of the world. You’ll be happy you did. What better way to take the plunge than to sign up for a Gay Tour with a Gay Travel company like OUT Adventures!
