G Adventures has expanded its popular 18-to-Thirtysomethings collection with 30 new small-group trips, offering younger travellers budget-friendly, adventure-filled experiences. These itineraries are designed for cost-conscious travellers who seek unique destinations, meaningful cultural interactions, and opportunities to connect with like-minded explorers.
Authentic and off-the-beaten-path experiences
The new trips include immersive experiences such as homestays in traditional Korean hanoks, hiking to remote shepherd outposts in Albania, and stargazing in Jordan’s Wadi Rum desert. With a growing demand for authentic and adventurous travel, G Adventures has added new itineraries in lesser-explored destinations such as Pakistan, Bosnia, and Jordan.
“For this age group, travelling is all about exploration, discovery, and forging new connections in unusual places,” says Sean Martin, managing director Australia, New Zealand and Asia for G Adventures.
“Not only are younger travellers travelling more, but they’re also exploring more unique and off-the-beaten-path destinations, which is why we’ve increased trips to lesser-explored destinations such as Pakistan, Albania, Bosnia, and Jordan under our 18-to-Thirtysomethings travel style.”
