Whether it's visiting the world’s tallest building, a long-overdue family reunion or the annual fall foliage display – planning a new adventure can be one the best parts of your vacation. What inspires a new vacation?

Consider these travel ideas, then put your plans in place

Help Humanity – Volunteering vacations have become mainstream. Companies like REI Adventures and GlobeAware offer trips to third-world countries to offer assistance. You might be able to teach English, build shelters or restore a mountain trail as part of your adventure. Go “voluntouring” on your next trip abroad.

Multi-Generational Vacation – Coordinate an extended family get-together on a cruise or at a tropical resort. Some of your family might crave adventure, while others want to lounge on a beach chair. Many resorts and cruise lines cater to family groups. Share some travel ideas with your relatives and see if you can move the family reunion to the Caribbean this year.

Biggest/Tallest/Deepest – You might have added Mount Everest to your bucket list, but there are many other destinations that fall into the category of Deepest Canyon or Tallest Peak. Arrange your next vacation around a visit to one of the world’s lesser-known, but still magnificent natural wonders like Mexico’s Copper Canyon or Chimborazo in the Andes. We also have an article about tourism to the top skyscrapers in the world.

See It Before It’s Gone – Our world is changing rapidly. Many of earth’s treasures may have only a limited life expectancy. Pay a visit to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef or book an African safari to watch the elusive white rhino in the wild while you still can.

Annual Festivals – These events happen only once a year. Whether it’s Carnival in Rio, Mardi Gras in New Orleans or the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, you have one shot per year to see it for yourself. Gather your squad and put it on your calendar before another year passes you by.
