The editors at ThereArePlaces believe it
is important to indicate when independent travel is a good way to see a
specific country. Countries that lend themselves to independent travel are
those where travelers can wander as they want, as secure in their
explorations as they are when traveling in their home country. Conditions
in some destinations do not lend themselves to independent, individual
travel. We note those destinations where travelers, in our opinion, are
better served by exploring the country as part of a tour arranged by a
reputable company. As an alternative, consider a tour guide to escort you
and your party to the destinations of interest. Be sure to examine a
potential guide's character and professional references.
If you are an experienced, savvy
traveler, you may feel perfectly comfortable as an independent traveler in
any environment. Most travelers simply do not have that level of skill and
would rather avoid areas where travel is difficult: after all, vacations are
times to escape work and stress. |
