Focused Travel Is Becoming More Popular

People travel for all sorts of reasons, and beyond work or vacation, you start to get into really interesting themes to why people travel when and where. I’ve traveled for vacation when I was younger, then as I got older, I wanted to experience different cultures. After awhile of experiencing over 25 different cultures, I wanted to slow things down and focus on beautiful places, hence how my photography gallery came to be what it is. Then, as I read more, thought deeper about life, culture and what meant a lot to me, I began traveling with specific themes and goals in mind.
​Some people like to travel for relaxation, and others for unique experiences like concerts or gambling, or simply to live the good life for a short period of time. Websites like Time2play offers a top budget gambling destinations, while other avenues plan out entire experiences from start to finish, like that of global cruises. For me, once I experienced Europe, I stepped out of my comfort zone and battled through culture shock and experienced Africa, then I wanted to slow life down and see natural places like Scotland, Iceland and the American West. And as I grow older and evolve and expand my mindset, I find myself wanting to experience historical places, and regions of the world known for their medicinal plant population, and to basically find deeper levels of understanding and of being.

For whatever the reason, travel can be everything or nothing, depending how you look at it and what your goals are. Even if it’s as simple as wanting to hop from one gambling destination to the next, these experiences will give you a variety of layers that staying at home simply can not, and they will stay with you for years to come as precious memories, for which one day you may feel a flurry of nostalgia for. Those are the moments that make life worth living, worth waking for, and worth remembering. When you’re on your deathbed, will you remember the 30 years you worked in that office, or will you remember that one time you saw a wild wolf take down a young or elder elk in Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park?

For me, it’ll be the moments of exploration and experiences with new cultures that will stick with me, like the time I came around a turn in Glacier National Park in Montana to see a male grizzly standing on two feet in the middle of the road, or when I had a wooly goat jump out at me in Connemara, Ireland, or when I was wandering alone around Iceland in the winter when the weather would let me. Those are my most iconic moments. Focused travel is all about finding what will stick with you the most, be it wildlife, cultures, social connections, historical places, festivals, gambling hot spots, or something else. So next time you plan your next trip, focus on what will give you a thrill rather than where you can be waited on by room service.

Agree. I think some places are famous for some specific events and mostly people travel there for that reason.
