Course overview
Course description
Adventures can start in lots of ways, and many people don't even leave the starting block or get on that first ferry or flight, no matter how strong the desire to travel is.
In this course, we will explore how to go about travel from the starting point of sticking a pin in a globe as you decide where to go, tracking down sources of information about obscure destinations right through to returning with great memories, amazing photos and new friendships forged. We will cover all the elements;
• Searching out ad hoc accommodation,
• Getting vaccinations and visas
• Looking at weird and wonderful food choices
• What to wear whether you're trekking through jungles, journeying across Arctic tundra or traversing deserts.
Pre-departure planning, how to get there, accommodation, health, communication, social media, group vs solo travel, safety and how to get the most out of your independent travel are just some of the topics we cover.
What’s Needed:
Pen and paper is always useful.
Maps, books or other sources of inspiration including online ones are welcome.
