Beach vacations in the height of the season are often accompanied by overcrowded beaches, a lack of free hotel rooms, and inflated prices. You can avoid these nuances by organizing a “savage” vacation in deserted places.
We analyze the pros and cons of this option in this article.
A “savage” trip: advantages
– Freedom of choice
The main advantage of such a vacation is the almost complete absence of restrictions. You can choose any location, excluding protected areas, and stay there for any number of days. If there is a desire, you can change the stop, leave earlier or stay longer, regardless of other people’s plans. You yourself choose the “view from the window”, the distance to the sea, the shady or sunny side, the time of breakfast and dinner. Also, you yourself choose what to do, play the guitar, collect mushrooms or play games on the Bettilt platform.
– Saving money
The next plus is significant cost savings. A vacation in nature in tents involves a minimum number of purchases. You will have to spend money only during preparation: buy food and drinking water, rent a tent, collect a first-aid kit, fill up the car. Accommodation is free. The additional privileges listed in the previous paragraph are also available free of charge. There is no need to pay extra for early check-in or late check-out. No need to pay for entertainment.
Benefits for health
Resting in the fresh air is always useful, in addition, light physical activity and healthy food are inevitable. In wild places, there is no All Inclusive system, so overeating is excluded, and there are no shops where you can buy chips, sweets and other junk food. At your disposal are only those products that you brought with you. And since the number of things in general is limited, it is more likely that only useful products will be found with you.
Romantic atmosphere
A vacation in open-air tents is associated with romance and for good reason. The starry sky, bright sunrises and sunsets, the absence of hustle and bustle and people are ideal conditions for solitude with your soulmate. If you want more comfortable conditions, set up a tent on the camping site or rent a small house for two.
Absence of people
The absence of people and complete unity with nature is what makes people choose “wild” tourism. You can sunbathe topless, play the guitar while sitting by the fire, meditate in silence. Quiet rest is an opportunity to be alone, recharge with the energy of nature and be inspired.
Full reboot
“Wild” vacation forces you to disconnect from household and work issues and completely immerse yourself in the present. Choosing a place to set up a tent, collecting firewood, cooking, active games, the absence of gadgets – all this helps you focus only on your feelings and enjoy simple things.
Disadvantages of recreation in the wild
– Lack of comfort
When preparing for a wilderness vacation, be prepared for the absence of any amenities. Sleeping in a tent does not compare to a soft bed, there is no shower and toilet, and there is no running water. There is also no convenient kitchen with cooking surfaces, dining table, chairs, stove. You will have to cook on a bonfire, and have dinner on your knees or at an improvised table.
– Dependence on weather conditions
Another important drawback is the dependence on the weather. It is best to go on a “wild” holiday only in warm seasons, but even then there are no guarantees that the rain will not spoil the plans.
– Responsibility
Resting in the hotel, you can quickly get help in any matter. But in nature you can only rely on yourself. There are different situations – sun or heat stroke, sudden deterioration of well-being, uninvited guests. It is better to think in advance about possible force majeure and prepare an action plan.
– Insects
The last significant minus is insects and various reptiles. Mosquitoes, spiders, snakes, lizards – if one species of these creatures makes you sick, this vacation is definitely not for you.
