Sci-Fi: For the geek chic girl or to appease your male travel partners, why not venture to the filming locations of Stars Wars or Lord of the Rings?
Many scenes in Star Wars were filmed in the southern part of Tunisia, a small country in North Africa. If the epicenter of your trip is visiting filming location, check out this resourceful website with information on planning your adventure. Prefer to see more of the country with a bit of Star Wars here and there? Visit Peregrine Adventures’ website and review the itinerary for their Highlights of Tunisia trip. If you opt to venture solo, be sure to add a stay at the Sidi Driss Hotel in Matmata to your itinerary (while the hotel doesn’t have an official website, you can book through most hotel booking sites). It is very simple in terms of accommodations but you can pretend to be Luke Skywalker for the night.
If you prefer to venture to Middle Earth, get on the next plane to New Zealand to begin your journey. Southern Lakes Sightseeing offers an array of experiences and adventures that any Lord of the Rings fan would appreciate. And while you explore the beautiful South Island of New Zealand, don’t forget to enjoy all the other spectacular things you can do in Queenstown like jet-boating, bungee jumping, and skydiving. After all, it is a city that loves adrenaline! Need some more tips to start your planning? Read DIWYY guest writer Kylie’s post on the location.
