Choosing a holiday
destination can be very challenging, yet compared to the pre-Internet days, we
have so many powerful tools at our disposal to aid us in our search for the
ideal break. Here are just a few examples of how technology can help you to
arrange a unique holiday.
- Chartering a Fully Crewed Yacht – You might think that this is exclusively
the domain of the very rich and famous, when in fact, group hiring is very
affordable, and this all-expenses paid floating holiday means you only need to
bring your luggage and a little spending money. A Google search will take you
to the website of a company offering yacht charter in Thailand and then it’s simply a case of choosing
the yacht and your dates. The perfect place to meet the yacht would be at
Phuket, a tropical paradise island in the south of Thailand, and from there you
can cruise the amazing Andaman Sea. Everything can be done online, meaning that
you can arrange your holiday without even leaving the comfort of your own home. - Nature Reserve Volunteer – If you love wildlife and you would like
to spend your holiday doing something useful, an online search would reveal a
long list of worthwhile nature preservation projects, and all you need to do is
pay for your flight, as accommodation and food would be provided by the
organiser. These types of projects can be found on every continent, and whether
you would like to work with African wildlife or take part in a Pacific island
nature survey, you can find all the details of such experiences online. If you
are eco-friendly and are thinking of installing solar panels at home, here is an article you might like to
read. - Trekking in Peru – There are a few tour operators that
specialise in Andes trekking holidays, and after a few days of altitude
acclimatisation, you would be ready to join a trekking group and enjoy the
unique experience of trekking the Andes. A Google search is all it takes to
source such a tour operator, who would have a range of trekking packages through
the Andes mountain range, and once you have booked the tour, you can search for
cheap flights to Lima. As long as you are fit and healthy, there’s no reason
why you shouldn’t engage in the fun that comes with an organised trek in the
Andes. - A Cruise to Antarctica – The only truly unspoilt continent on the
planet, Antarctica really does offer a unique experience and with cruises that
depart from Australia and New Zealand, you can search online and make your
booking. Aside from the amazing ice scenery, you will have an opportunity to
observe Humpback Whales, Dolphins and other sea creatures that inhabit the
beautiful waters in Antarctica. This once-in-a-lifetime experience would not be
classed as a cheap holiday, but experiencing Antarctica is not something that
everyone would be able to do, and if you have a chance, you should take it.

The above are just
a few holidays that you can book online and while you are enjoying yourself,
you can livestream your location to all your social media friends.
