Activities Videos

Travel the world independently! We cover independent travel by independent people, and include independently visited museums and tours — not package tours. We don't believe you need a travel agent to travel the world, and some of the best experiences, and off–the–beaten–track experiences can really only be had by traveling independently. Also, you don't need to be young and hip to have a great time. Any time of your life is a great time to travel. We try to capture our travels to share with you. Our Activities page has a very diverse range of activities such as museums, tours and things like that. With our Out and About section we try to cover longer excursions such as a full day out with multiple activities, ar an aspect in more depth. For instance, we do a full day out in Dubai, or an in–depth examination of the beaches of Aruba

We visit the Albion Park location and see a 747–400, an F–111 Ardvaark and lots of other restored military and civilian aircraft

We used Trout and Wine Tours at short notice from our base in Mendoza. We only booked the day before on our private tour. They were very accommodating and the driver Wally and the tour guide Jimena were both excellent. The tour was taken in January 2023.
