There are a lot of truly wonderful things about traveling but the truth is that there’s one thing about it that really is a shame. That’s the fact that, no matter what you do, you’re never going to have the time to travel to all of the amazing places that you’ve always wanted to see and experience. Sure, if you’re really lucky then you’ll get the chance to go to all sorts of different places and have all kinds of experiences, but in the end there are only so many places you can go in your life and a lot of the time your most significant travel decisions come down to choosing where it is that you actually want to go above all else. This is a difficult decision a lot of the time since there are just so many places that are truly incredible. However, there are some places that really do deserve your attention above anywhere else. Here are just a few reasons why you should put Australia at the top of your travel to-do list.
The wildlife
A lot of people kind of make the same joke about the wildlife in Australia. If you were to listen to the way that people talk about it, you’d think that you’d be set upon by deadly creatures the moment that you step foot on Australian soil. And sure, there are a lot of seriously deadly critters in the Australian Outback. However, in Australia, you also have the chance to see some of the most beautiful, fascinating, and adorable animals in the world. Whether you go whale watching, head out into The Bush to animals in their natural habitat, or cuddle up with some koalas, there are so many different kinds of animals in Australia that are unlike the kinds of wildlife you would find anywhere else in the world.
The weather
When it comes to traveling, it doesn’t matter where you are, everyone loves getting to enjoy sitting back and relaxing in the warm sunshine working on their tan. Well, there really are few places in the world better for just that than Australia. Whether you’re taking a walk through town or lying in the sun on one of the land down under’s many beaches, if you’re used to wrapping up warm to avoid the rain and the cold, Australia’s climate is going to be a very literal breath of fresh air. Just make sure that you stay protected. The line between enjoying the sunshine and getting burnt to a crisp can be pretty slim.
The people
Australian’s are pretty lucky when it comes to cultural stereotypes. They’re generally known for being both extremely attractive and seriously friendly. And sure, there are always exceptions but the really shocking thing is how true these can often prove to be. One of the most fantastic things about traveling in Australia is just how willing the locals often are to welcome travelers with open arms. There’s something wonderful about traveling to a new place alone and making new friends while you’re there and Australia is one of the best places in the world to do just that.
The experiences
Of course, it’s not all lounging in the sun talking to attractive locals. (Unless that’s all you want to do!) There are also so many incredible things that you can do during your time in Australia. If you’re the cultured type then you can head to one of the many museums in Australia’s beautiful cities. Or if you’re looking for something a little more natural, why not hit the dive shop and get yourself suited up for a scuba diving trip? Swimming through the crystal blue waters of Australia’s coast and taking a look beneath the waves is an experience that absolutely everyone should have at least once in their life.
It can be difficult and frustrating at the moment since so many of us are stuck at home and aren’t able to travel anywhere, even if we might have dearly wanted to. This can make it hard to even make any travel plans at all. However, you have to remember that this isn’t going to last forever. The truth is that the current situation will eventually pass and when it does you’ll be able to appreciate getting to see the world even more than you did before. In the meantime, you can use this time to plan your next trip and find even more amazing reasons why Australia should be next on your travel agenda.
