Alternative Vacations

Alternative Lifestyle Vacations

While the term "alternative lifestyle" can include any lifestyle outside of the mainstream, it is generally used to describe people who identify as swingers, nudists or gay. Alternative lifestyle vacations give individuals in their particular subculture a chance to vacation with and around others involved in their lifestyle. Since travel often puts people out of their comfort zone, knowing you will be surrounded by other like-minded vacationers can offer a sense of freedom and security.

Who said there's anything wrong with being single? On your next vacation, steer away from couple-heavy spots. Instead, venture into the high-energy U.S. cities that never sleep, attempt to hike up a mountain in a national park, or mesh with others on a cruise who are single too. Whether you travel with a group of friends or entirely solo, there are numerous places in the U.S. and around the world that are geared toward singles.
