Zion and Bryce Canyon, a Independent Travel Trip


In this episode: The FAQ is: What is Independent Travel? The Destinations are Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks, Utah. The mistake is booking round trip tickets automatically, and the travel tip is a quote from a known independent traveler.

What is independent travel? There are three kinds of independent travel. First, Independent (not with a tour guide), Second, semi-independent (on a cruise or excursion) and Third is solo. The last one is truly on your own, just you on the road. This podcast and book is focused on any of these three options for independent travel.

Get power over your life and build your confidence with your travel.

Today’s Mistake-Booking round trip without thinking it through
Instead of booking round trip, book two one-way tickets. My mistake was I went to Barcelona and once I got there, then I flew to Madrid. I should have booked my trip home from Madrid, instead of going back to Barcelona and then back to the US. So I wasted some time, nearly a day in transit and in time booking the trip back plus accomodations and airport travel. If you buy two round trip tickets, they may even be cheaper than a round trip ticket. Try it on your next international trip.

Today’s Travel Advice- Here’s a quote from Anthony Bourdain, who wrote on travel.

It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn. Maybe that’s enlightenment enough – to know that there is no final resting place of the mind, no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom, at least for me, means realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go. (Anthony Bourdain, travel expert)


I want to bring meaning to your travel. Send me your travel tip or question to my Facebook page, group, Instagram, Twitter, or blog, and maybe you’ll see your tips in my next travel book on independent destinations.

Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan

Episode: Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan FAQ Should I use public transportation abroad?   Episode: Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan    Lesson Learned: Don’t schedule everything Day 1   Travel Tip: Trust your gut instincts, if unsure, pivot fast.   FAQ Response:  Should I use public transportation abroad?   Yes, you should try it at the least, but not in rush hour with all of your luggage. One way to test it out is to try it early in the morning, before rush-hour workers arrive, but while it’s still light outside.  Most of the time, you only need a card to swipe, and you can add money to the card when you need to. Your first care purchase is often at a self-service kiosk, and usually there is English translations here. Go for it and try.   Episode: Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan This scenic region reminded me of Lake Tahoe, California.  If you are coming you will Arrive in Taoyuan airport and take the train to the Taipei Main Station and take the HSR t...
