Remember that you can also combine the different travel types and example both the slopes of Canada and combine it with a road trip across the country afterwards.
Once you know what type of trip you want, you are already well on the road compared to select the destination.
2) Warm and relaxing, great cultural experiences or beautiful scenery?
It is also important that you deal with, you have certain requirements for the climate, whether you prefer to experience the culture and urban life or maybe go for the perfect nature experience.
The advantage of a long-term travel is that you can experience a country and its culture for longer than just one or two weeks. You thus have the opportunity to get more under the skin of local people and experience things that you would not be able to reach on an ordinary journey.
