There are many options for your relaxing. Someone always find the beautiful places to go when they are free. There are

a lot of interesting places that you should go to visit if you choose to go travel. There are two traveling styles that

you should know and choose the best one for your style.

 

There are two big styles of traveling that you should know and understand. They are Tour traveling and Backpacker traveling. Some people want to go travel by themselves and makes them happier, but someone want to travel by using the tour company that can make them go easily. I have traveled both of these styles. For me, I think I like the backpacker style because Backpacker style can give me freedom, I can go, can pause, can visit everywhere with my backpack. Everyone has the loved style that different, it is up to your deciding. In this essay I will tell you the similarities and

the differences between Tour traveling (package tour) and Backpacker traveling.

 

For the similarity of these styles, the first is relaxing. Both of these styles can make you go outside that help you pause from your work and make you feel good and relaxed between your traveling. The second is getting the new experience. When you step out from your home to find a new wonderful place, it can make you love the new culture, nature, environment, custom, society, livelihood and people. Both of these styles can make you get new experiences along

the way. The third is getting new friends, you can get the new friends for traveling. If you go to travel by backpacker, you will meet the backpacker friends and if you go to travel by package tour, you will certainly get the new friends

from your tour. The last one is getting new knowledge. Knowledge happens from collecting information. If you go a lot of place, you will get real information, places, feelings, and experiences that will become new knowledge that will be in us forever. Both of these traveling styles can give new knowledge for you certainly.

 

Although both of traveling styles are interesting, they still have the difference that you should know before traveling. The first is flexible time. Backpacker traveling style that you can see them around the world because this styles is becoming more and more famous. They always have a backpack at their back. In their back have a lot of necessities for them. For example, there are the garment, the food, the travel plan, the map, the camera that make them can stay and pause everywhere. They can go everywhere, if they have a backpack. It is easier for traveling, but if you choose to travel with a Tour Company, you must follow by the plan or the schedude of tour extremely because if you don't follow them, they may leave you there. The second is convenience. If you choose to go with a Tour Company, you don't need to book the flight, the hotel, and the tourist attractions tickets. You don't need to have the map. You can go, can pause, can stay, can visit everywhere that the company prepares for you already. Many people like to go travel by going with tour by booking the package tour before they go. You only pay the money of the trip and you wait for that time to come, you can go and not worry about anything that can make you more comfortable than the backpacker style. For the older man, I think this traveling style is more suitable for them. Younger people can travel with the adventure trip, but the oldest can't, so they should go with a tour company. There are a lot of companies and the tour packages that you can choose the best one for you and go to enjoy. Be careful when choosing a tour package. You should choose a good company with a reasonable price, but if you choose to travel by backpacker style, you must do your homework before. The homework means you have to find or search for more information of the place that you will go, the map or the locations of places, the special things that may be the ticket of tourist attractions that can be hard for booking or the visa of each country that you will pass or the transportation tickets that a traveler must book beforehand. The third is saving money. You can save a lot of money, if you go by backpacker style. You can choose the low-cost airways that has a lot of airways for you to decide that can make you save a lot of money, you can choose the low price hotel or you can stay at a hostel that can help you save a lot of budget, you can choose to visit any places that you really want, but if you choose to go with

a tour company, you will pay a lot of money to them and if you want to shop or visit the places that the company doesn’t book for you, you must pay it by yourself, if you can’t  choose the low cost airways to go and you can’t choose the cheaper hotel or hostel that these can help you save some money. The last one is the experience. Backpacker traveling style can help you get more experience, you can go many places that sometime doesn’t have in a package tour. For example, if a person wants to go to the top of the waterfall, the tour company cut this program out, but if you are backpacker, you can control yourself and you can decide to go anywhere.

 

I have told you the similarities and differences between Tour traveling and Backpacker traveling. These two travel styles are similar in that they are getting relaxing, new experience, new friend and knowledge. However these two styles

are different in that they are getting much or less experience, convenience or adventure, flexible or fixed time and using a lot of money or a little money. The suitable styles will help you travel happily and can make you love traveling forever. You should choose the best style for your traveling.
