Top destinations for travel experiences

In the last three or four decades, the world has shrunk. As aircraft have improved, so travel has become easier and then with the introduction of low cost or budget airlines, so the cost of air travel has dropped. Furthermore, thanks to the internet, travel has become easier, new destinations are easier to suss out, and ways to book experiences have just become simpler at the click of a button. So, where shall we go?

So where are the Top destinations for travel experiences?  It could be said that everyone has their own idea of a great place to travel and explore and this is true. So, to get to the bottom of the Top destinations for travel experiences who better to look at than TripAdvisor. With TripAdvisor places and experiences are ranked and rated by real people thus the destinations that make their top places lists should be pretty good and interesting. 

​​Here are the top 5 destinations for travel experiences:

Costa Rica ranks at the top of the current list and with its La Fortuna de Sam Carlos region offering unusual experiences such as Volcano Hikes and Sloth Seeing it is no surprise why. For the more adventurous traveller, Costa Rica has so much to offer. But imagine just how much more of this fascinating country you could explore if you spoke Spanish?
​

When it comes to the top US travel experiences, it will come as no surprise that Hawaii sneaks in at the top. To be precise Kauai is the top destination. The all year-round good weather certainly plays a part in this part of the world getting such a high ranking. Of course, there are some bucket items in the region such as surfing and yet again exploring some volcanoes. Thankfully, English is the spoken language in Kauai, so no further languages are needed unless you do not speak English.

The Nordic region is always a top destination for all travellers. Norway may lack the sunshine of Costa Rica and Hawaii, but it makes up for it some other interesting things. Tromso is the top destination in Norway according to Trip Advisor and having a grasp of Norwegian may well come in handy. Tromso tops the list because of experiences such as feeding reindeer and of course the amazing night-time views of the Aurora Borealis. 

New Zealand used to be far off the beaten track in terms of distance but today is an easily accessible country. Rotorua in New Zealand has come top of the charts for great places to visit because, again, is has some awesome experiences. With white water rafting and jet boat rides through the Tatukua Gorge it is very much a place for those who like a bit of adrenaline flowing through their veins.

At number five on this list of Top destinations for travel experiences is Puerto Vallarta in Mexico. Mexico is another country that will open up dramatically if you speak Spanish but even if you don’t Puerto Vallarta has plenty of enjoyment for everyone. From an ATV adventure in the Sierra Madre to Tequila tasting after a zip-lining day out you are pretty much covered when it comes to having fun.

But these are not the only places you can visit. The world today is your oyster, and if you want to take home a few pearls, learning a language opens things up beyond your wildest expectations.
