Do-it-Yourself Nature Travel (DIYNT) provides advice for adventurous types wanting to travel with an open-ended itinerary and a willingness to try new things. It’s for those who want to see the sun rise and set from different vantage points around the globe; and those curious about other cultures, customs, and geography. It is especially for those interested in seeing wildlife; be it animal, bird, fish, reptile, amphibian, or insect in its native habitat. With more personal knowledge of Earth, we are more likely to appreciate the fragility and uniqueness of our existence in the solar system…perhaps in the universe; and be more likely to preserve it for future generations.

There are lots of people who want to see as much of the planet they inhabit as possible, before being physically unable to make the trip: people more interested in collecting experiences than things. The DVD’s may also appeal to curious folks unable to travel. These discs probably won’t appeal to those interested in an all-you-can-eat cruise ship vacation.

Setting out on an adventure in a foreign country without the benefit of an expensive organized tour is daunting. However, the serendipitous discoveries of travel on your own will more than compensate for the ease of a pre-planned itinerary. These programs feature narrative, photos, music and video clips as well as useful information: tips for saving money, travel planning advice, visa requirements, best times to visit, ease of getting around, book lists, helpful websites, etc. The focus is on getting to, and the appreciation of, parks and natural areas. Start planning now for your own do-it-yourself adventure!
