Planning Gay Travel With A Spiritual Focus

By Howie Holben

While there are more and more hotels and travel destinations that make it easy to plan and enjoy gay travel or gay vacations, the services of an agency can make planning easier. There are a number of groups and agencies that bring likeminded people together in order to provide travel with the best experience possible.

There are a wide variety of gay travel plans to choose from. A person can choose trips that are designed to fulfill areas of interest such as scuba diving, bird watching, whale watching, skiing, sailing and more. The types of trips available are as varied as a person's interests are.

There are a number of companies that specialize in planning gay travel. Many of these agencies are well known for planning meaningful journeys that are known to enlighten the mind and heal the body. While exploring these sacred sites can lead to an increased spirituality these trips can also be the catalyst for building lifelong friendships with likeminded people.

Perhaps a longer journey would be in order. One of the top gay travel destinations is the popular Grand Canyon white water rafting trip. This trip is very spiritual and relaxing and also offers the more adventurous travelers many opportunities for hiking and swimming. The trip is guided by canyon experts and all meals and camping gear is provided. Most people that have enjoyed this trip describe this as one of the most spiritual experiences they have ever had.

Another spectacular destination that fits well into gay travel planning that is both spiritually fulfilling and fun is a trip to Egypt. Just imagine being able to view the ancient Pyramids or cruise down the Nile River. A person could have the opportunity to view King Tut's burial mask at the Cairo Egyptian Museum or stand in front of the ancient Sphinx. Travelers that have visited these ancient sites have reported life changing spiritual experiences.

Many people really enjoy taking gay vacations or gay retreats as part of a group of likeminded people. They are able to share common interests and often form lifelong friendships as a result of one of these journeys. Don't delay, make travel plans today.

Gay travel can include a variety of events where inner experience is matched by the mystery and magnificence of the natural world and ancient civilizations. These journeys, which can be called pilgrimages, include interacting with indigenous cultures, tapping into ancient philosophies and cultures using meditation or ceremony, and wandering sacred sites, as well as offering opportunity for adventure, sightseeing, and relaxing.

Since prehistoric times sacred places have exerted a mysterious attraction on billions of people around the world. They have been claimed to heal the body and enlighten the mind. They continue to be the most venerated and visited locations on Planet Earth. Exploring these sacred places will provide an interaction with ancient ways and sites, which can lend to personal insight and healing. - 16887
