Foot
-
Early explorers only had their feet to rely on when discovering new terrain. Lewis and Clark mapped the first transcontinental crossing. Walking expedition trips are available on every continent, including the Americas.
Bicycle
-
There are bicycle adventure tours and bike marathons for a cause. No matter what you want to do on this planet, or what cause you want to raise money for, there is a bike route and travel outfit that can make it happen.
-
Car
-
Jack Kerouac may have popularized road trips, but he didn't invent them. People have been taking to the road since before highways even existed. Take a drive on America's most historic highway, Route 66, which runs from Illinois to California.
Ship
-
Before commercial airlines, people needed a ship and several weeks to see other nations. Now there are thousands of cruise ships on the seas at any one time. There's no place in the world a boat can't take you.
Motorcycle
-
People who love motorcycles seem to love road trips. Entire websites are dedicated to out-of-the-way roads and routes that road-trippers look for when they're on a bike.
