The Industrial Revolution and the development of transportation dramatically increased the popularity of travel. The first steam locomotive in history appeared in 1804, and in 1825 a public railroad from Darlington to Stockton was opened.

Sea travel was not new to Europeans. The whole question was the massiveness of such voyages. The very fact of a voyage by sea could already be recreation and adventure, all the more so as the steamships eventually became real floating mansions.

"To travel is to live," the great storyteller Hans Christian Andersen once aptly noted. And if the benefits and fun of traveling don't need much proof, then about the best way to travel - alone or in a company, there is a heated debate.

Say no to compromise. Traveling in the company of yourself, you don't have to constantly make an effort to balance your own desires and the desires of your companions. Do you want to spend the whole day walking in the park? Or dream of wandering through an art gallery without a rush? Just step out of your hotel room and leave whenever and wherever you like.

Do not walk the well-trodden paths. We are well aware that after hard work more than anything else do not want to strain and think. And many people actually google "Where to relax" and are satisfied with a little. The point is to spend a little more time and imagination to find the perfect place and not always be with the crowds of tourists. Expand your horizons and look for alternatives to standard tours.

Get to know the culture.  Even at the planning stage of your trip, you should do some real research on the destination. We think you'll be very surprised if you dig a little deeper than the standard guidebooks. For example in the Jordanian city of Petra there are many indigenous people who sell souvenirs in the style of their culture and they say they live there, but that is just a game for tourists, try walking through the gorge in the evening sitting on a donkey with a native old man, believe me he will show you more than you will see in your whole trip. 

A trip to the mountains is a responsible step for every tourist. Everything is important - preparation, planning the route, communication. You need to think through all the details of a hike in a place where there is no civilization. The most common mistakes of tourists in the mountains.

No plan and check the route. Let's not kid ourselves, but in our time we can not complain about the lack of information. The availability of maps, guidebooks, social media groups or blogs is so great that planning or analyzing the route and timing is really an easy task
