TRAVEL NEWS

NEW ZEALAND
This might be a surprise inclusion but hear
us out. New Zealand is by no means a cheap
destination to travel to, but it may be the site
of a great travel adventure for small groups.
One popular way to see the islands is through
a campervan, useful to traverse through the
rich green plains, volcanic soils, and stunning
valleys. Campervan rental is big business in
the land of the Kiwis, and very suitable for
short term travellers. Long term backpackers
in the nation may even consider purchasing a
campervan, and selling it when you’re leaving.
Petrol is not too expensive and many low-cost
campgrounds are available for you to spend
the nights in. Just imagine later in your life,
reminiscing about the days you spent driving
a campervan around New Zealand with some
mates!

INDIA

Some label India as a subcontinent because

of its sheer size and population. If you’re

ready to forego luxury and the total comforts

from home, there are plenty of super cheap

accommodation options in all the major cities.

That’s a small price to pay for the experiences

you stand to get. Student hostels are very

useful if you want to save some money up

for more adventurous experiences. You

want to see buzzing metropolitan cities from

Bollywood movies? There’s a place for that.

You want to witness majestic Bengal Tigers?

There’s a place for that. Beaches? Head to

Goa. Hiking the Himalayas? Guess what?

There’s a place for that. Considering the size of

India, you should remember that you could be

here for a while!

Camping is a popular activity in New Zealand

The Taj Mahal is probably the most iconic landmark of India

The scenic drives of New Zealand make

campervan travels incredibly enjoyable
