Reasons to travel
Practical advice from Wikivoyage on safety, health, money, transport, food and more.
Bachelor(ette) parties
Travelling far away for a bachelor party (stag party) or bachelorette party (hen night) has become increasingly popular. Throwing a surprise party abroad can provide an exciting experience.
Business travel
Travel for secular "pleasurable" purposes is a fairly recent concept. For most of human history, people either traveled for religious reasons or out of economic necessity, hence business travel may well be the oldest form of travel.
Easter travel
Easter is together with Christmas the most important holiday in Christianity. As such Easter features special events and foods around the world, and many travel to see friends and family.
Funeral travel
Funerals are a significant source of last-minute travel plans. Memorial services are often scheduled at a later date, after cremation or burial.
Gap year travel
A gap year is an extended break that some people take at a life transition, such as between studies, between study and work, or between careers. It's most common for people after high school to use the year as a transition to adulthood.
Honeymoon travel
Honeymoons are holidays taken by a newly married couple soon after their wedding. They are a traditional, or at least common (if private) part of wedding celebrations in some cultures.
Living abroad
Living abroad raises a number of issues that don't affect short-term travel. Visas and insurance for short-term visits often don't allow longer stays, you won't want to stay at a hotel, you may be taxed locally, you may need a local bank account and so on.
Organizing a group trip
Organizing a group trip may be the best way to accomplish some of your goals.
Staycation
If you need to stay at home after possibly being infected with a disease on a trip, see Self-isolation after travel. Sometimes, a staycation is the best and most meaningful trip you can take.
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated mainly in several countries of North America, most notably in the United States and Canada. The holiday is observed on the fourth Thursday of November in the US and on the second Monday of October in Canada.
Travel writing
So you want to be a travel writer? It sounds like a dream job: free vacations to exotic far-off lands, a fat corporate credit card for paying all your expenses, a big paycheck as reward and your name on the spine of books at every airport in the world.
Vacation camp
A vacation camp is an organized vacation away from home, typically for children and teenagers. Many of those take place during the summer holiday, and are called summer camps.
Wedding travel
Wedding travel is travelling to get married. Destination weddings are an entire section of the travel and wedding industry, and you'll find accommodation, planners and agents that specialise in arranging the perfect celebration at many destinations worldwide.
