Architects around the world with original trips
Although not all of us can afford travel and sightseeing this summer, dreaming is free and the best destinations await us, so we have looked for some original trips for curious and restless architects from a perspective outside the everyday, other than a architecture trip pure.
From those vials that are only suitable for pocketbooks full of Euros and Dollars, to those that do not need to spend practically anything because of how cheap they are, we only need to apply imagination and coherence to experience inspiring sensations this summer.
Currently, travel seekers or online comparators are the most used to plan trips and make life easier for us. The most used by Spanish travelers are Trivago, Kayak, Skyscanner, Rumbo and Edreams.
“We live in a wonderful world that is full of adventure, beauty and charm. There is no limit to the adventures we can have, as long as we look for them with our eyes wide open ". - Jawaharial Nehru
Travel economically to understand cultural identity
Today there are practically social networks for everything, including in the world of travel, and, also, for all types of travelers.
The sustainable tourism gains ground as a criterion of choice in a good destination, toyes we propose for architects,travel around the world working a little, yes I'm sorry, a little work in exchange for a real coexistence with native families,new experiences and a very original destination. We talk about the portalWorkaway. That you can travel all over Europe or reach the end of the world.
Its objective is to promote cultural understanding; offer an opportunity to attend, learn and perceive all the advantages that experience brings to those who travel with a limited budget; and favoring help among people who want to contribute to a cause, as an example, or simply those who need help. The portal also allows the exchange of ideas between people of different nationalities.
An example would be to help out on a small island in the north of Norway… Take a landscape photograph, who wants to go to a destination like the one in the photograph!… Possibly it will not be one of the «best hotels » that we can stay in the exchange, but seeing the beaches and the mountains, we believe that it can be a perfect place without being tied to the routine and demands of the hotel.
The possibilities of giving help range from gardening to construction, through childcare, artistic projects, community help, education, languages … A different way of running the world, where the experience of living And eating the food of a local family can be very pleasant and different instead of the typical hotel.
A journey for strong architects
This trip is only suitable for those who are fit. We talk about going to the hotelSkylodge Adventure Suites (Located in the Sacred Valley of Cuzco - in Peru), and that offers an experience not suitable for people sensitive to heights.
Let's go! sleeping literally suspended in the air at a height of 400 meters in a kind of sleeping capsule (It measures 7.5 meters long by 2.6 meters high) where I hope the door is tightly closed for those who are sleepwalkers. Nice views and images of the valley!
.
A different trip for athletic people! Which of course brings a lot of life. There is also the possibility of reach the room by zip line (From the top of the mountain with a rope to go down)
Travel to sleep in a submarine
Here we go to the city of Liverpool to feel with emotion the the Beatles , when they sang that they lived in a yellow Submarine who would have imagined that in his hometown we could sleep in a submarine Inspired by the Yellow Submarine movie, where what is surely one of its most catchy themes comes out to shine.
And the thing is that one can sing the All we live in a yellow submarine at Albert's Dock, the most famous pier in the English city.
An entrepreneur acquired a barge that, by chance, had been used for the movie “Hunt for Red October” with Sean Connery playing the role of capital Marko Ramius, and it became the most “beatlemanic” place and place we can imagine, one of the best destinations for music fans.
In this way, we find ourselves a floating hotel enabled for 8 people that is pure psychedelic and takes us directly to the end of the sixties.
The micro apartments with concrete pipes are also interesting. A great idea!
My house in the middle of London
The unique houses and hotels are appearing in pairs, an example is the architecture of the artist Escher are reflected in the renovation of a hotel in China.
Now, it's time to see a unique house …
I suppose it is not suitable for small pockets of "Money" but the idea excites us and the site is perfect. The concept… «Renting a house in the heart of London and at precise, relatively cheap» by days or weeks.
We already talked about this idea in the article floating house with a lot of style but it is worth rescuing it for the originality of the travel experience. What better than a video to explain the concept …
This unusual home can be rented in London. In case someone is interested, you can also book from the hotel and flight search engine www.quehotelesbaratos.com/jetcost/ that there are always interesting offers for flights to London.
In addition, in winter they offer important offers and discounts although it is sure that the rain will catch you in London. Sorry!
Travel as a volunteer
Possibly one of the cheaper economic travel solutions It is to get involved in solidarity causes and at the same time help some NGO, here comes the sustainable awareness and help, with meeting people and providing wisdom and work to the community that needs an adequate and sustainable development.
In Spanish, one of the main portals is the Fundación Hazlo Posible that without taking long-distance flights or the super offer of the summer we can live, enjoy a few days or weeks away from home and even on some paradisiacal coast, if we have to!
If we like natural parks, nature or beaches more, and focus on the work of conservation and development of parks or forests, from Wwf it is a successful option to discover new places and places.
In the European Voluntary Service (EVS - More dedicated to young architects) you can develop experiences in environmental matters, for example, in environmental associations, farms, working with the disabled, the elderly, and other groups at risk of social exclusion.
All cover practically all of the transportation and living expenses; and they can be carried out both in the EU and in other countries ranging from two to twelve month programs.
Travel to expire sins
On a natural monolith in the middle of nature, in the Katskhi Valley (Western Georgia), a temple that stands forty meters high, dating from the 9th - 10th century.
The complex consists of a church dedicated to Máximo el Confesor, measuring more or less one hundred and fifty square meters. Today the friar Maxim Qavtaradze lives, a native of the area who will be able to expire your sins closer to heaven. The top can be accessed via an iron staircase.
Between approximately 2005 and 2009, the monastery at the top of the pillar was restored with the support of the Georgia National Cultural Heritage Preservation Agency.
Travel to see Game of Thrones
Despite the frequent use of digital and unique effects in the famous Game of Thrones series, the locations chosen by the production team greatly contribute to the success of the series with their spectacular architecture and landscapes.
This is a original trip where the locations around the world and landscapes of Game of Thrones surprise by their beauty: from Malta and Morocco in the first seasons, to Spain and Croatia for the last episodes, passing through Northern Ireland and also Iceland.

Travel to get bored alone
How original destinations, this I think takes the prize. Some consider the hotelTHE FRYING PAN TOWER located about 50 kilometers from Northern California (United States) it is literally a total boredom, others that it is a balm for the mind.
Lost in the middle of the ocean, a original hotel in an old lighthouse built in the 60s modeled on an oil rig. Here little beach, and see the coasts even less.
The area is famous for hurricanes, in addition to this, the surrounding waters are usually home to many sharks.
The owner purchased it for eighty-five thousand US dollars and reconditioned it to provide a very lonely home for those who like it. travel in the middle of the sea. The normal thing is that the flight is by helicopter although by boat they can also bring us closer to one of the Hotels more strange.
Activities; eat, drink alone and play very lonely golf.
Travel to have some wines
Wine architecture!… Currently, many wineries already offer stays with accommodation and wine tasting, but there is one that has a monumental building that will delight architects in avery original trip in a design hotel.
Tradition, good food and avant-garde blend seamlessly in the front of the Hotel Marqués de Riscal developed by technical architect Frank Gehry. A architecture trip and palate.
From sunrise in a room surrounded by vineyards, to the moment of dinner in the restaurant of the hotel with Michelin Star, passing through a snack in the cellars or a relaxing moment in the expert spa in wine-therapy treatments.
More and more trips are planned online

So we no longer have an excuse to stay in case, the only thing we need is a backpack with few clothes, desire and good aptitude to meet the world and new friends.
