For most English people, France is the ideal country for camping. This
sentiment is shared by other European tourists as well. And why not? France
serves as an ideal setting for camping. With its wonderful mountains, rivers,
sea and sub-tropical climate, breath-taking sceneries and the lively cities –
yes! France offers a wonderful mix of environment and culture. And if that is
not enough, the prices for these campsites are also very reasonable – cheap by
usual hotel standards.Eurocamp provide an excellence range of great campsites
where you can possibly stay and if you pick the self-catering holiday in France
option then you can save even more money on a fantastic holiday in a beautiful
location.
Do you ever imagine of travelling all around France? Yes, we did. France is
well-known for its culture and most beautiful as well as unique arts in the
world. To tell you the truth, you might need to learn some basic French
communication since French people are only using their mother-tongue language.
Well, you do not have to worry if you bring your interpreter with you. You need
to plan very carefully when you want to have vacation in France as you might
miss the chance to explore the most important part of this country. You need to
choose strategic hotel to live in during your vacation. Oh yes, do not forget to
bring camera with you always because you will meet something that might grab
your attention during your walks.
The French Alps
is another sight you should not miss while there. A true France holiday will not
be complete without paying a visit to these majestic mountains.
A strange but true notion is the fact that a cyclist has never conquered both
Alps and Pyrenees at the same time. He may do well with one or the other but
never both.
Hundreds of campgrounds all over France are spread near these scenic places.
A visit to them all would be impossible but try visiting one or two places so
you can experience the different cultures of France

Good Tips On Traveling To Greek
Greece, known for its crystal blue waters and it alluring Mediterranean
climate, provides the perfect marriage of luxury in a relaxed and sophisticated
environment. Greece has the largest amount of islands in Europe, each providing
a unique opportunity that will satisfy even the most experienced traveler.
The Greek islands are ideal for solo female travelers during high season between the end of May and the end of August. Australia’s winter falls during Greece’s summer so most Aussies venture over to surf, party and island hop. You’ll be in good company. Because most other people are also travelers looking to make friends, it’s easy to collect a group as you move around the islands.
1. The Greek police aren’t always your friends. I naively expected foreign police to have similar attitudes as American law enforcement. Wrong. From my hellish experience in a Greek jail, I found that foreign law enforcement doesn’t always respect travelers. I learned the hard way that my rights stay in the U.S. upon departure. It sounds jaded, but don’t trust any one, including foreign police.
2. Don’t spend too long in Athens. The city steeping in layers of historic ruins is a traveler’s must-see. It is also dirty, crowded, sweltering in the summer and famous for pickpocketing. Even in the well-lit metro I felt like a walking bull’s-eye target for thieves and sketchy people. I’d recommend not spending more than one or two days here if you’re traveling alone. Because it is so big, it’s tougher to meet people.
3. Tuck in with a good group similar to you. People are curious about me as a solo female traveler. And I relate really well to guys. For a portion of every trip I take, a group of other male travelers scoops me up and it works out. I still feel independent because I can leave them at any time, but having other people around makes feel less like a solo female target. You also have to account for group chemistry and the character of the people themselves, most of which is luck. Figure out your social strengths and play off them when you travel. Look for travelers similar to you and be friendly.

Tips On Travelling To Hawaii
Whether it’s this year’s spring break or the Christmas holidays, there’s
nothing that can keep people away from Hawaii. You may be thinking of going to
Hawaii for your vacation,
and there are lots of things that you can do in Hawaii, so you’re in for a great
relaxation session! You can get a massage or simply lounge at the spa. You can
sleep the day away and dance all night. You can eat fresh fruit and seafood. You
can go on jet ski trips, kayaking trips, cave explorations, or simply just
sunbathe on the seashore. There’s a lot to do, so don’t forget to bring these
things with you!
Camera – You could be traveling on your own, and this could be a great way for you to learn photography or get a lot of stock photographs in your collection. Hawaii is picturesque to say the least, so get yourself ready to take lots of pictures of sunsets, flowers, coconut groves, sand, shore, and water! Even if you’re with family or friends, you should still bring your camera to capture all your great moments!
Suntan Lotion – There’s no use lying about it: a tan is pretty, but the repercussions can last a lifetime! Keep yourself from getting burned by putting on the suntan lotion. The higher the SPF, the better, so don’t forget to pack, or you could find yourself roasted to a crisp when you get home! Even if the forecast is overcast for Hawaii, there’s still sun creeping from behind the clouds, so take nothing for granted.
Insect Repellant Lotion – This is especially useful if you’re going walking on the seashore at night. You could come into contact with all sorts of mosquitoes and insects, and you don’t want to get any unsightly bites on your skin, not to mention a sickness! Have DEET-free lotion to take along with you, and you won’t find yourself bugged by the nasty bugs.
A pair of good flip-flops – Better yet, get a pair of sandals that have straps to keep them tied well to your feet. You will be hiking a lot, and who knows where your feet will land? You could get lucky and find yourself on soft grass, or you could bleed from a nasty cut from a rock.
A trusty water bottle – You’ll be walking a lot under the sun, so keep yourself hydrated at all times with a swig out of a water bottle. Refill it constantly whenever you get into a restaurant or back at your hotel. Keep yourself hydrated so that you don’t end up a prune!
