Use the itinerary fixed by the tour operators and trips out of the complex are organized tours. Comfortable tourist accommodation is used and lifestyle is retained. Attempts to get off the beaten track and experience new places/spaces. Travel is motivated by a desire for authenticity tempered by a consideration for personal safety. Also uses facilities made available by tour operators. Wil travel beyond the hotel for an experience. Actively seeks out new destinations and is prepared to take risks in experiencing new cultures/spaces/places. Seeks authentic identification with the host community often by working or volunteering. Tendency to mix with disadvantaged and/or marginalized socio- economic groups. North america as a drifter- if you"re a drifter you"ve likely already travelled out of north america and. Stay on resort, do everything as a group. Denver and access lots of things within proximity.
