Your Perfect Vacation
There are typically two kinds of people when it comes to planning vacations: people who love to prepare everything months in advance and have an itinerary for each day and people who love spontaneity when it comes to their vacations. Either way you plan a vacation, it is important to try something new each time. Try these new ideas to either spice up your summer plans or to take a spontaneous trip to somewhere new.
For People Who Love to Plan Vacations:
Buying festival tickets
This type of vacation takes a little bit of preparation because you have to buy tickets in advance, but it is something different and fun for someone who loves to plan their vacations.
A concern for a lot of people costs especially if they live far away from the big ones like Coachella or Lollapalooza. This does not have to stop anyone because there are music festivals all over the country.
If crowds are what worries you, you can also look for smaller festivals that would still have live music and the fun of the huge ones without the level of craziness.
Not only are there music festivals, but there are art, food, pet expos that also could fall under the category of a festival. Whatever your interest is, you can find a festival or convention for your next vacation.

For People Who Love to Not Plan Vacations
Look for last minute cruises
This is the perfect kind of vacation for people who love spontaneity because you can find new destinations on a whim. Finding a last minute cruise is not as hard as one might think. There are cruises constantly available every month.
These cruises can take you all over the country or even the world. They can get expensive but are 100% worth the money. If you are worried about expenses, however, there are tons of cruises along the North American coastline that are great experiences for much cheaper.
No matter what kind of scenery is your favorite: glaciers, wildlife, beaches, etc. you can find a cruise that will show you the most beautiful sites. In addition, you get all the benefits of being aboard a cruise ship: the food, the drinks, the games, the music. It will all add together to bring you seven days of pure fantasy.
What if you fall somewhere in between? You want to have a plan but also want to have some spontaneous adventures on your vacation.
For People Who Want A Little of Both
Plan a trip to a national park you haven’t been to yet
This is the perfect vacation plan for someone who wants to be prepared but also wants to “go with the flow” on their trip. The preparation comes from finding a cheap way to travel/ lodging at the national park and also to plan around bad weather. The spontaneity comes because you can go to the park and pick whatever activity you would like to do there.
There are national parks all over the country that are just waiting to be explored. This is the perfect vacation for someone who loves to be active during their trip and see some amazing natural wonders.
Whether you love rock formations, waterfalls, forests, lakes, etc., there is a national park that has it and may not be as far away as you think.

Note: National parks almost always involve walking/hiking for the full experience so they are not simply relaxation. These will be more involved vacations, so if that does not sound like what you are looking for, it might not be for you.
Whether you are a spontaneous adventurer, perfect planner, or somewhere in between, there is a vacation for you. Don’t forget to bring your favorite outfits for your trip. If you’re going anywhere with a body of water where you can swim, make sure to pack a couple of functional, flattering tankini tops from SwimSpot for a comfortable, secure fit and gorgeous photos for social media!
So you see, with just a little bit of research, you can go on a wonderful adventure for your trip this year. Try something new and go to a festival, on a cruise, or to a national park this year.
