I had to put this one on here, of course, because it doesn’t really fit into any of the other groups. Amusement park travel, perhaps?

There may be an element of “beachy” vacation in there, but it’s certainly not all of it.

These trips take place in a big city. Decbe Chicago, New York, D.C., London, or Paris. Or maybe slightly smaller cities, like St. Louis, Houston, or Springfield (any of them). But the main point of these trips is usually to do some sightseeing.

City travel may be more fast-paced than some would like for a vacation, but the great thing about it is that there are always endless possibilities of things to do and see (and taste!)

Citizens of one of the happiest countries on Earth are surprisingly comfortable contemplating a topic many prefer to avoid. Is that the key to joy?
I think these trips are great because there are so many different cities out there.

When I think of backpacking, I tend to think of Europe or Australia, but really you can do it anywhere.

Backpacking is really a form of budget travel (as opposed to luxury travel, which I suppose I should also somehow work into my classification system.)

Backpacking is also generally a longer-term type of travel than the typical vacation.
