Picture 2 shows two typical backpackers, who are traveling by backpacking. I like this way of traveling because during a backpacking trip I can meet interesting people, explore places that are not usually included in a package tour, and more importantly, I can save money. But there are risks in traveling in this way. One has to be strong, both mentally and physically, to do this.

Picture 1 shows a group of people traveling in a tour group. This is usually in the form of a package tour which comprises transport and accommodation. Other services may be provided such as meals, activities or outings during the trip. For people who are not experienced travelers or people who want to save the trouble to find places to eat or stay, this might be a good choice. The cost may also be low if people travel off the peak. The disadvantage of this type of travel is that people have to go to places where the tour operator has planned, and very often such tour would involve some shopping stops.

Picture 3 is a personalized tour. This is obviously a kind of luxury possible only for wealthy people. People traveling this way usually would try to avoid those crowded and noisy places, rather they would like to go to some small islands or places not easily accessible by tour groups. I fancy having such a trip with my beloved one sometime in a remote island.

Picture 4 shows couchsurfing which refers to the practice of moving from one friend’s house to another, sleeping in whatever spare space that is available, floor or couch, and generally staying a few days before moving on to the next house. Couchsurfing is becoming more and more popular due to the ever-increasing cost of travel. But there have also been some couchsurfing-related criminal activities which make people think twice before making the decision.
