20 Fun Things to Do On a Vacation
11. Switch off
Disconnect yourself from your work and everything back home and you’ll give yourself a chance to make the most of your holiday.
12. Visit historical sites
A sense of history and awe is the general feeling when one visits historical sites. A visit to such places is a true hit with kids and adults alike, whether it might be the pyramids in Egypt or the Stonehenge in England.
13. Buy souvenirs
Just like photos, these reminders of your vacation can be used to decorate your living room.
14. Take a guided tour
Depending on the place you’re visiting, you might feel the need to take a guided open bus tour or even hire a bunch of bikes and scope out the place in a group.
15. Attend local festivals
Some countries (especially in Europe) are well known for their festivals. Chalking out a vacation that coincides with one of these could make your trip even more memorable.
16. Take the local transportation
Some countries have unique modes of transportation, like rickshaws in various countries in South East Asia and high speed trains in Japan. Travel by them for once. Who knows, when you would get a chance to travel by them again in life?
17. Buy a new perfume
Using the new fragrance on a vacation will help you associate the smell with the memory of place. Smelling it again even years later will bring the memories back.
18. Discover the unique
Each country has something unique to offer tourists. Countries in the Middle East have dune bashing, while it is a must to go scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef, if you visit the eastern coast of Australia. Wherever you go, discover something unique to treasure all your life.
19. Learn and respect the local laws
Each country has their rules and regulations. Learn about them and respect them. A word of caution: laws in some countries are more conservative than the others, so be warned!
20. Maintain a diary
You might want to jot down your experiences and adventures on your vacation. It often serves as a valuable keepsake later on.
