You want to reach the essence of nirvana and inner peace escaping the buzzing noise of the city, so the best choice for your summer is a silent travel. Start to practice solitude immersed in nature and giant exotic plantations. Reconnecting with nature seems to have an authentic power on wellbeing. Discover meditation retreats and digital detox secluded resorts around the world, where even disco and concerts are in religious silence. Whether you choose a remote cabin in the mountains or a serene beachside retreat, the simplicity and stillness of your surroundings will allow you to reflect, recharge, and rediscover the joy of quiet contemplation. Picture yourself waking up to the crisp mountain air, with the scent of pine trees wafting through your window. Take leisurely walks along forest trails, where each step brings you closer to inner peace and a deeper connection with the earth. Or imagine relaxing on a secluded beach, with only the sound of waves breaking against the shore to accompany your thoughts.
As you embark on your silent travel journey, leave behind the hectic pace of daily life and embrace the tranquility of natural surroundings. Disconnect from the constant digital noise and immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of rustling leaves, chirping birds, and flowing rivers. Pop on your headphones and dive into your next sound dimension.
This travel trend will be your favorite excuse to not expose a tanned body and bikini, and savor, instead, freedom & freshness. Gone are the days when summer vacation was synonymous with sun, sea and spicy boils.
Coolcationing is the ultimate getaway for those who prefer a different kind of summer adventure. Embrace the escape from the scorching sun and sandy beaches, and indulge in the coolness and serenity of underrated destinations. Imagine exploring the stunning fjords of Norway, where majestic cliffs meet crystal-clear waters, or discovering the picturesque landscapes of Northern Europe, dotted with charming villages and lush greenery. Whether you're drawn to the tranquility of Alaska's wilderness or Denmark's Scandinavian charm, coolcationing offers a refreshing alternative to traditional summer vacations. Embrace your rebellious self and embark on a journey to cool and offbeat destinations that promise relaxation and rejuvenation.
Curiosity and adventure are your bread and butter. Would you ever change your nest, to that of someone you don't know, just for the sake of novelty? The answer is: “yes of course”. Then, secure a free home abroad and live the life of others tagging all your photos with #homeswap. Literally a win-win solution. And you will be an active part of change, redefining the concept of hospitality itself, raising awareness on responsible tourism, cultural diversity and inclusion, all just relying on mutual trust.
Home swapping allows you to immerse yourself in the heart of new cultures, indulge in authentic local cuisine, and uncover hidden gems off the beaten path, all from the comfort of a home-away-from-home. Picture yourself strolling through the bustling streets of Tokyo's Shinjuku district, savoring the tranquility of Tuscany's rolling vineyards, or exploring the vibrant neighborhoods of New York City, from Brooklyn's eclectic cafes to Manhattan's iconic landmarks.
With home swapping, you're not just a tourist – you're a temporary local, experiencing daily life as it unfolds in your chosen destination. Swap stories with your hosts, discover their favorite local haunts, and gain insider knowledge that guidebooks can't provide. It's a sustainable way to travel, minimizing your environmental footprint while maximizing your cultural immersion.
Summer for you means: reconnecting with your beloved friends, your tribe. So it’s not difficult to start a journey to the quest of ancient family traditions and pack rituals. With this kind of travel you will discover how all human beings are interlocked, going deep into the roots of your existence.
Ancestral travels offer a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the wisdom and traditions of your ancestors. Imagine yourself participating in a cocoa ceremony, feeling the ancient rhythms and tasting the rich flavors that have been passed down through generations. Embark on journeys to sacred temples and historic landmarks, where the echoes of the past resonate with each step you take. Dive into the world of ethnic DNA tests to uncover fascinating stories about your heritage, connecting you to distant relatives and forgotten traditions. Share these profound experiences with your tribe, creating lasting memories and strengthening the bonds that tie you to your roots.
