When most of us take a trip, we usually just head to the airport, board a plane, and land more or less in the centre of the destination that we’re visiting. While this is fine, it’s not the only option — and there’s a lot of value in exploring the other methods of getting from A to B. An airplane is, these days, a means to an end. Other methods of transportation form part of the experience. Could you get to your destination via train or boat? Or what about investing in a van like the VW California and having the freedom to go (and sleep) wherever you please? Whether it’s a train, boat, or campervan that you choose, one thing’s for sure — it’s unlikely that you’ll go back to travelling by airplane anytime soon.
