Worldwide Vacation Ideas

Coming up with worldwide vacation ideas can be downright overwhelming. The world is a huge place. I know that there've been lots of times that rather than strike out and try a new place, I'll feel the urge to keep going back to the same places over and over again. Living in America, it's easy for me to stay in the US (and there is plenty to see and do here!) but don't forget, there is adventure to be had the world over and it's a lot easier and cheaper to get there than it ever was before! Are you looking for an elegant European holiday? Or maybe you want some ideas for ways to see Europe on the cheap and still get the most of it. Over the past few years, there has been incredible development all over Europe, but especially in Eastern Europe. Looking for an Adventure? How about White Water rafting in Bosnia? Or, stoke the fires of your imagination and explore Romania and see the castle of Vlad Tepes, the real life inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula. Even more European vacation ideas are down below.

For more worldwide vacation ideas, how about North America? There's no shortage of United States vacation ideas, even leaving aside the major tourist sites of New York, LA, Washington, and San Francisco (Of, course there's plenty of special things to do there that you might not have thought of!) Explore the Amish way of life in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Drive along the green rolling hills, stop at an Amish dairy farm for farm-fresh ice-cream. Even have dinner with an Amish family! Throw in Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean, and you might never leave the western hemisphere again with with everything that there is to do!

From Israel and Turkey in the east to Japan and Indonesia in the west, Asia is a huge continent with a wealth of suggestions for worldwide vacation ideas. Ever dream of combining paint-ball and a water balloon fights? Get to India for Holi and literally paint the town! All over India, people celebrate by dumping special paint on friend and stranger alike! Make sure that you wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Where else do you want to go?

Africa. No list of worldwide vacation ideas would be complete without mentioning Africa. Photography lovers should not miss the Annual Month of Photography in Cape Town, South Africa. Exhibits are set up all over the city and many are free to the public. More African ideas and wonderful places to visit.

South America: Llamas, Gauchos, Samba and so much more. Looking for unique vacation ideas? How about spending a few days in a hotel built on stilts in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil? I'll never forget when a monkey stole my dad's beer...and our sunscreen...and my sister's sunglasses. You can even catch and eat your own piranha fish. Much better than doing it the other way around! What else can you do in South America?

Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands are so many people's dream of a world vacation ideas paradise. Far away from almost everywhere, there's no doubt that these places are worth the long flights. Sydney, Australia is a wonderfully kid-friendly city. My family and I still laugh when we remember how I hopped after a kangaroo at the zoo.
