Top 12 Unique Ways to Travel and Stay Around the World
Travelling around the world is a great way to discover new places, people and cultures. There are many unusual and exciting ways to move around — and lots of unique places to stay while you explore. Here are twelve amazing experiences to try!
2. Bamboo Train in Cambodia
1. Coco Taxi in Cuba
In sunny Cuba, the streets are full of little yellow Coco Taxis. They look like giant coconuts and are perfect for short city rides. They are fun, fast and very colourful! After exploring Havana, you can rest in a hotel or stay in a small guesthouse to experience local Cuban life.
In Cambodia, you can ride the famous bamboo train, called a norry, made of wood and bamboo. It moves slowly through small villages and rice fields. It’s a great way to see the countryside up close. At night, you can sleep in a simple hostel or a friendly B&B.
3. Amphibious Boats in Singapore
In Singapore, there are special amphibious boats that can travel on both land and water. The tour starts on the land and drives passengers past famous city landmarks before splashing into Marina Bay to continue in the water. Many travellers stay in a hotel near the bay or rent an flat for a few days.
4. Dog Sleds, Snowmobiles and Hovercraft in Alaska
In icy Alaska, you can try real winter adventures! Ride a dog sled pulled by huskies, drive a snowmobile or glide over the ice with a hovercraft. It’s cold but very exciting! After a long day in the snow, you can stay in a warm guesthouse or enjoy glamping with a view of the Northern Lights.
5. Gondola in Italy
INKIJKEXEMPLAARDIEKEURE
6. Jeepney in the Philippines
In beautiful Venice, Italy, you can float through narrow canals in a gondola. The gondolier often sings while rowing you under old bridges. It’s a romantic and peaceful way to see the city. You can stay in a small hotel near the water or in a stylish flat in the old town.
In the Philippines, colourful jeepneys fill the streets. They are old army jeeps turned into buses with bright designs and loud music. Riding one is a true Filipino experience!
7. Cable Cars and Funiculars in Switzerland
In Switzerland, cable cars take you high above the ground and offer amazing views of the mountains and lakes. Funiculars climb steep hills and bring you to snowy peaks. Switzerland is perfect for mountain lovers who want to sleep in a cosy B&B or even at a campsite by a lake.
8. Tuk-tuk and Skytrain in Bangkok, Thailand
In busy Bangkok, you can ride a tuk-tuk, a small threewheeled taxi that zips through traffic. For a faster trip, try the skytrain high above the crowded streets. After shopping and sightseeing, you can stay in a hotel or a clean hostel and make new friends.
10. Rickshaw in India
INKIJKEXEMPLAARDIEKEURE
9. Hitchhiking in Australia
In Australia, some travellers like hitchhiking, which means waiting by the road and asking drivers for a free ride. It’s a great way to meet people and see the country, but always do it safely. Travellers often rest in motels or campsites, or travel across the outback in a motorhome
In lively India, you can ride through the busy streets in a rickshaw — sometimes pulled by a person or powered by a motor. It’s a classic way to see the colourful markets and temples.
11. Cruise on the Mediterranean Sea
A cruise on the Mediterranean Sea lets you visit many countries — Italy, Greece and Spain — all in one trip. You can enjoy beautiful sunsets from your cruise cabin and eat delicious food every day. When your cruise ends, you might stay in a resort near the beach.
12. Hot Air Balloon Ride in Turkey
In Cappadocia, Turkey, the sky fills with hundreds of hot air balloons every morning. From high above, you can see valleys, rock formations and small villages. It’s one of the most magical views in the world. You can spend the night in a cave hotel or try glamping in the desert.
Travelling the world is full of surprises! Whether you move by taxi, boat, balloon or train, every journey gives you a story to remember and a new place to call home — even for one night.

Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for your help with holiday ideas. I am writing to you because I have some more questions about the holidays in South Africa and Jamaica. We would like to do a guided tour in a national park, but we have some concerns:
- How long do the guided tours last each day?
- Where exactly do we stay during the safari in South Africa? Is it near the national park? We don’t like being on the road for a long time.
Before we decide which holiday to choose, we would also like some extra information about the holiday to Jamaica.
- When do the boat trips for snorkelling usually start? We don’t like getting up too early.
- What do we need to bring to go snorkelling? Do we need to pack our own equipment, or can we rent it there?
Thank you for answering my questions. I look forward to your reply.

De present simple van regelmatige werkwoorden
Als je een werkwoord gebruikt in de tegenwoordige tijd, vervoeg je het volgens de present simple. Je voegt een -s toe in de derde persoon enkelvoud: na ‘he’, ‘she’ en ‘it’ of de naam van een persoon of ding. We gebruiken de affirmative case in een bevestigende zin. We gebruiken de interrogative case in een vraagzin.
I work. Do I work?
You work. Do you work?
He works. Does he work?
She works. Does she work?
It works. Does it work?
We work. Do we work?
You work. Do you work?
They work. Do they work?
Een vraagzin kan ook starten met een vraagwoord. Dit staat vooraan in de vraag.
