Travel Passions: 40 Destinations for Food, Health, Adventure & Creativity

travel your passion(1)

What are your travel passions?

Some travel is about exploring a specific destination. Some travel is about feeding your interests and obsessions.

If you fall into the latter category, you're not vague about why you travel. You go to savor the food, paint the landscape, taste the wine, experience adventure, or any other of a myriad of things that inspire a person's soul.

Your travel is more about what you will do than where you will do it.

For this reason, I've dug into the Solo Traveler archives and pulled together a list of posts to help you find the destinations that match your travel passions.
