One of the best reasons to travel is that you’re exposed to the way “the other half lives”—and that becomes all the more clear when you realize how different transportation is elsewhere in the world. If you haven’t done too much traveling before, here are some ideas of what you can expect when it comes to the quirkiest methods of transportation in the odd corners of the world.
Hot Air Balloon
Believe it or not, some actually use hot air balloons to get from one place to the next. This whimsical mode of transportation offers a unique perspective and a sense of serenity that is truly unparalleled. Drift gracefully over landscapes, capturing the beauty of nature from a bird’s-eye view.
Bike
This may not seem too “strange”, but it is when you consider how some cultures travel almost exclusively by bike. Perhaps you only did it as a child, but riding a bike is a refreshing way to connect with your surroundings and stay active while on the go.
TukTuk
If you’re seeking a thrilling and offbeat adventure, tuk-tuks are the way to go. These three-wheeled vehicles, found in many Asian countries, offer an exhilarating ride through bustling streets and narrow alleys.
