Top 10 Road Trips



Number Name Country Most Relevent Experience Entry Length Of Time Cost(US$) Nature The wow factor for nature - does it show nature at its best? Doesn't need to be the wildebeest migration or diving with hundreds of hammerheads. Rather make you pause as you realise just how awesome the natural world can be CaltureHow much does this experience showcase some of the better and finer things that us humans can offer? Sure, it can be ancient ruins and renaissance churches, but it can also be festivals or soaking up some of the great modern cities of the world Fun FactorVery simple - was it fun? This is usually linked in with doing some kind of activity - i mean, walking along some cliffs is nice, but paragliding from them, now that is fun. Its a vastly underrated factor in a truly great experience Avoid CrowdsBig tour groups and being surrounded by loud fellow tourists can sap the life out of even the greatest of travel experiences. This score is to reflect just how much you can avoid this. But. . . The score also takes into account if the crowds actually add to the experience, such as with a party town or a bustling local market World FamousHow world famous is the experience? UniqueHow hard is it to have a similar experience in other places round the world? Overall Score The overall travel experiences score:  fun factor + avoid the crowds + (best of nature or culture) + (best of world famous or unique).
