How many Dutch people don't make the same kind of trip every year? Just, nice, chilling for a week or two with those butts on the beach in July or August. Which is quite a shame, because there are actually dozens of ways you can go out and about. Live a little, do something crazy, something with a change of scenery and so on.

1. The cruise

First of all because Beyoncé and Jay-Z would be proud of you. Also because this is the most ideal way to island hop in the most exotic places in the world. And sure, your ‘cabin’ might be a bit on the small side, it is still a boat after all, but the experience of traveling by boat is also really cool to experience once.

2. A festival trip

Dancing among supermodels? Coachella. Going completely loco in Hungary? Sziget. And for those who want a truly unique experience, Burning Man is by far the best option.

3. The solo trip

It might take some getting used to if you've never done this before, but it's really worth it. On a solo trip, you experience things you would never experience otherwise and you really get to know yourself. Do you find being alone a bit too lonely? More in the mood to eat with a different Australian, American, or Belgian every night? Then go backpacking. Do you want to learn to be alone? Then book a nice yoga retreat in Bali or Ibiza.

4. The surprise trip

I did this for the first time about a year or two ago and I ended up in Milan where there was a massive sale at that moment. I'm telling you: this is never a bad plan.

5. The city trip

Ha, and let's immediately build on the previous point, because that city trip with your love or friends you've probably done long ago. No, we're actually talking about making a city trip alone. Click here here for an overview of the best cities where you can do that.

6. The road trip

Rent a convertible, just a clunker of a car or a camper: it doesn't matter at all. As long as you're out with your best friend. Turn on the radio and sing along off-key.

7. The world trip

AAAAAAH, bucket list material everywhere. Okay, you can definitely take a few more years for this. But keep in mind: the younger you are, the more likely you are to be inclined to make these kinds of grand plans Let's say within the next ten years then? Alright.
