Why the latest travel trend involves getting away from it all

Dull office cubicles, artificial lighting and social media have resulted in us wanting to step into the great outdoors and embrace the latest trend in travel – rewilding. Rewilding involves getting back to nature with a dose of adventure. According to the Pinterest 100 Report, which focuses on the latest trends for 2020, searches for nature travel have risen by 253 per cent. Holidaymakers are now searching for holidays in the wild that are as varied as fly fishing and bushcraft camping. If you want to leave the modern world behind and go off the grid this year, take a look at some of these getaways…


INDIA

USA

Channel Brad Pitt’s movie A River Runs Through It and go fly fishing at The Resort at Paws Up, Montana. Sleep in one of their new treehouses that launch this year.
