Going on vacation is a completely personal experience. One person may like to relax on the beach and won’t do much else, while another might like to spend their time away exploring and doing crazy things. If you consider yourself to be the latter, you’ll love these vacations for the wild at heart:
Backpacking Solo Through The Pacific Crest Trail
Day to day life can get pretty dull, especially if you don’t plan breaks away from it. Why not allow yourself some eye opening experiences by going backpacking solo through the Pacific Crest Trail? You won’t be tied down to a timetable, so you’ll be totally in the moment, enjoying every little thing that you do.
This isn’t exactly a new thing to do; Cheryl Strayed (author of the book ‘Wild’) did it first. However, you can read her book and watch the film on her adventure to get a good idea of what to do and what not to do. It could be just the right thing for you to do if you’re going through a rough time right now.
A Kenyan Safari Tour
A Kenyan safari tour can help you to feel connected to nature. You will see thousands of animals on your trip, along with lush forests and so much more. You can learn more about these tours on this website if it sounds like something you want to do. The best thing is, tours can be customized to meet your requirements as an individual. It doesn’t have to be like wilderness camping if you don’t want it to be. However, it’s the perfect adventure for a person who’s wild at heart!
A Pilgrimage To El Camino de Santiago, Spain
This route stretches 500 miles from Southern France to Santiago de Compostela, the northwestern Spanish city where St. James is buried. It has been described as a very spiritual trail, which could take up to 2 months to complete. Expect to do 5-9 miles a day in total, all while viewing amazing medieval villages and gothic cathedrals, amongst other things. The perfect opportunity to find yourself!
A Digital Detox in Costa Rica
Did you know that Costa Rica is one of the happiest places in the world? Probably due to the fact they many of them don’t have access to the digital world like we do! Why not fall off the grid on purpose?
Wouldn’t it be nice not to have to worry about who’s emailing you? Who’s doing what on social media? When you forget about all of this stuff, you’ll realize what really matters. On your digital detox, you can enjoy activities like hiking, rafting, kayaking, surfing, horseback riding, and more.
You can completely change your perspective and grow as a person. You’ll probably want to live here permanently!
The idea of a wild at heart vacation is doing something that both interests and scares you. Make sure you give yourself a push outside of your comfort zone. Just take a leap and do something crazy. Who knows, you might feel compelled to write a memoir about it!
