Travel Vocabulary in English with Travel Stories
I know you love to travel as much as do. So today I want to share some of my favorite advanced travel vocabulary in English so you can tell your own travel stories more easily.
I have 3 different travel stories for you today. In each, I’ve highlighted useful vocabulary and groups of words that often go together or collocations.
Here’s what I want you to do:
- Read the stories.
- Note the highlighted vocabulary and groups of words – can you identify the meaning from the context? (If you need help, you can use the definitions I’ve provided to help you.)
- Write your own travel story using some of the new vocabulary and expressions. You can write about a past travel experience, a business trip, a future vacation or any other travel opportunity. Then share your story in the comments.
The goal is for you to use the same keywords in your own sentences.
This is the best way for you to truly learn and remember new vocabulary. And this means the next time you talk or write about travel, you’ll have all these words available to you in your mind!
Advanced Travel Vocabulary in English with Real-Life Stories
Sharon’s Travel Story: A Staycation on a Tight Budget
When I was younger, I had a real sense of adventure. I loved backpacking, camping in the woods, sleeping in tents and spending the evening next to the campfire. As a child, I remember trying to build a fire from scratch by rubbing two sticks together. I think my entire family laughed while I worked at it for an hour. Unfortunately, I never succeeded.
But I do have such good memories of camping and hiking with my family. Every summer my parents would pack up the kids and the dog into the car, pack all our outdoor gear on the roof of the car and fill coolers full of food.
My mom would pack all the usual stuff: trail mix, fruit, marshmallows to roast over the fire, stuff to make sandwiches, etc. We’d take a road trip to the mountains in Colorado, find our spot to set up camp and pitch our tents near the river. I loved listening to the sound of the river at night!
I haven’t camped for years! Neither David nor I can take that much time off of work. It makes me a little sad that Sophie, our daughter, won’t have those same memories.
But last year we did do something a little fun, a little different: we had a staycation. The two of us could only get 4 days off of work and we were on a tight budget. We hadn’t enjoyed everything the city has to offer for ages so we decided to just pretend to be on vacation here at home. We visited the museums, went to the theater, we even took a day trip to the coast a few hours away for a day of sun, sand, and surf.
We have some wonderful photos (and memories) of our picnic dinner watching the sunset on the beach.
sense of adventure
The desire to explore and to take advantage of adventurous opportunities.
outdoor gear
Generally used to describe items or equipment needed for outdoor recreation: tents, skis, bicycles, snowboards, etc.
set up camp
To prepare and position everything in a campsite.
from scratch
To make (or create) from the beginning with the basic ingredients.
trail mix
A snack mix with a combination with dried fruit, grains, and/or nuts.
staycation
The combination of stay-at-home and vacation. A vacation where you stay at home and enjoy local sites.
pack up (the kids/the car)
To prepare one’s belongings; to gather one’s things together and prepare to depart. With “the kids” this refers to prepare the kids and their belongings for departure.
roast over the fire
To cook over the fire.
on a (tight) budget
To be on a budget means to not have a lot of extra money. A “tight” budget means very little extra money.
Lara’s Travel Story: Anything All-Inclusive
Ugh! I hate planning vacations. I mean, I do love traveling but I don’t want to think about it. All those little details – I can’t be bothered!
I prefer those all-inclusive kinds of vacations for a little R&R. You know, those places where all you do is show up and that’s it.
You have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Activities, the beach, the pools, dancing. Sure, they usually cost a little more but if I don’t have to plan everything then it’s worth it. The only thing is you have to be careful of those hidden extras! I’ve definitely been surprised by the final bill a few times.
My fiancé and I are talking about an all-inclusive cruise for our honeymoon. It sounds amazing but I’ve never been on a ship for that long.
I’m a little nervous about seasickness I do love the idea of island-hopping. Plus the ship has a ton of amenities with its multiple pools, fitness centers, and restaurants. What I need to figure out is what to pack for a cruise. I’m actually terrible about over packing.
can't be bothered
Don’t want to waste time doing something.
all you do is show up
Show up = to arrive for an appointment or gathering. “All you have to do is …” means that there is nothing else expected of you.
a ton of
An exaggerated way to say, “a lot of.”
all-inclusive
(Almost) all activities and food are included in the total cost.
hidden extras
Expenses that are not included (or unexpected) in the final cost.
amenities
The services or perks that a hotel provides with the reserved room.
a little R&R
A little rest and relaxation.
island-hopping
To visit one island after another.
over pack
To pack too much.
Jean-Luc’s Travel Story: Exotic Adventure
I’m always dreaming of my next far-off, exotic destination. I’ll go anywhere as long as it’s adventurous.
Last year I chartered a boat with a friend to sail around the Greek Islands. In the afternoons, we’d pull into ports, dive into the water, enjoy dinner on the beach and then head back to the boat for the night. On really warm nights we actually sleep right on the deck under the stars.
What’s next? I don’t know. Maybe Colombia, Peru, or Chile? I’ve never been to South America and I love the idea of spending time in the Andes Mountains. Hiking in the middle of nowhere, you know what I mean?
Those kinds of places give you such a better perspective on life. It’s easy to forget we’re all just a tiny piece of this earth.
Or maybe Thailand? That’s another of my bucket list destinations.
far-off destination
A destination remote (in time or space).
head back
To return to a place.
perspective on life
A particular attitude toward or belief about something; a point of view.
charter a boat
The reservation of a plane, boat, or bus for private use.
under the stars
To be outside with no covering.
bucket list
The achievements or experiences a person hopes to have or accomplish in their life.
pull into port
The place where a vehicle or driver stops into. In this case, a boat stops in a port.
middle of nowhere
A remote place far from any city, town, or village.

Dear Annemarie I’ve been to Iceland two years ago and I had a wonderful vacation! As Sharon, I had a real sense of adventure so I convinced my best friend to come with me, we packed up our backpacks and then we departed. We chartered a car and we traveled all over the country for 11 days. We saw amazing landscapes, waterfalls, geyser, volcanos, glaciers, and we did whale watching. We had nothing but our backpack, our tent and a burning desire to explore. Iceland is a great place. I look forward to come back there and have one more… Read more »
Sounds like an amazing opportunity and adventure, Davide! Thanks for sharing. I’ve always wanted to visit Iceland. I really liked your use of “a burning desire to explore.” What a great expression!
Hi Annamarie, my last trip was in the city of Madrid. A wonderful city. At the time I was always without money because of I was unemployed but in the same time I craved traveling. So my sense of adventure took me to packed up my stuff buying an airline one-way ticket for Madrid. After few days in Madrid I found a job just in the week ends. I didn’t waste my time because there’s no time like present and every day I walked through the parks , visited museums and, I always looked around the city, the square, I… Read more »

Hi Annemarie, First of all, thank you very much for sharing this post on travel stories. I have been following your weekly posts since a couple of weeks, I like this post a lot, it is always exciting listening and talking of travel stories. Sharon’s staycation story resonates well with me as I like going out with family even if it is not such a significant or a popular place to go visit. The feel of going out together and experience the joy of spending time with family outside is worth experiencing and treasure the memories. Unfortunately, we couldn’t go… Read more »
Hello Hari,
Thank you so much for your comments. I’m thrilled to have you following my Confident English lessons.
Very impressive vocabulary with your sentence, “Sharon’s staycation story resonates well with me…” Nicely said.
This was very well written and you did a great job using vocabulary from the lesson.
Hey AnneMarie to be honest the traveling now is the most important thing in my life, I sounds good when i travel abroad and discouvir a new places, traditions, cultures, countries. I love that !! when I’m thinking of my next trip I be happy for searching for a cheap fly and think in all little details (hotels, food , bus from airoprot to the city centre then to hotel, mesuems, things to do in that city) so for the me the word of cant be bothered doesnt exist in this kind of things. and i dont like all inclusive… Read more »
Hello Alami,

As you described, I think planning a vacation can be fun, almost as fun as the vacation.
Do you have a favorite country or place that you like to visit? Best, Annemarie
Mahmoud on May 06.05.2016 Hi Annmarie As this is my first challenge I hope that you like it and that it’s good. On Last May and during a party I won a two hotel full board nights pouch for two in Aqaba_Jordan. Me and my wife were very existed and started to plan for when,how and what kind of activities we can do in Aqaba while staying there, off course budget wise it was affordable due to the pouch, First of all we picked the right weekend to do so, and then I rented a car. Meanwhile, using the net… Read more »
Hello Mahmoud,
Welcome and thank you for sharing your story!
How wonderful to win an all-inclusive two-day trip to Aqaba! It sounds wonderful. And Petra! I have always wanted to visit Petra!
And was this the first time you or your wife scuba dived? How was it?
A few small corrections:
“… I won a [full-board two-night hotel stay …]”
“My wife and [I] were very [excited] …”
It sounds like the perfect two-day quick trip to get away! Thanks again for sharing.
~ annemarie
Hello Annemarie! Fortunately, I have some free time to accomplish the task and to tell about my vacations. A new trip always means that I will open something new. I always have a sense of adventure when taking some journey, so I always look forward to my holidays and therefore to travelling. It doesn’t matter what kind of holidays I’m going to take, the main thing is what emotions I will have. It may be a camping where I can spend wonderful time roasting meat over the fire, singing campfire songs, eating some trail mix and chatting with my friends… Read more »
Hello Alexandra – I loved this! You used so many of the key words and expressions! Fantastic work. And I really like the expression: “… if I’m squeezed like a lemon …” I assume that means to feel really stressed, is that correct? What a perfect description for feeling stressed and needing a break! One question, when you say “the main thing is what emotions I will have” do you mean emotions or experiences? When I see emotions, I think of happy, sad, angry, frustrated, joyful, etc. If that is what you mean, that is okay but I wanted to… Read more »
Thanks a lot for your comments, Annemarie! I appreciate them greatly!!! Frankly speaking I’ve thought that the expression “to be squeezed like a lemon” (that really means “to be very tired and stressed” as you have said) really exists in English, because I leart it at university, but now I doubt… Do native speakers use it in their speech? As for the phrase “the main thing is what emotions I will have”, I’ve meant here that I always get some positive emotions after having travelled, because travelling enriches me, gives the opportunity to meet new people, to get to know… Read more »
Hello Alexandra,
You are so welcome.
As for “to be squeezed like a lemon” it is possible that it is an idiomatic expression. Idioms can be regional, so it is possible that it is used in another country or a specific region. For me it was new, but I understood what you meant. It was easy to understand from the context. I’ll have to do some research to see if I can find where they use it. 🙂
Best, Annemarie
Thank you, Annemarie!
Hello Annemarie! I miss our challenge and such short stories :)) I will tell you about my nearest travel just in a few days – from Saint-Petersburg to Helsinki by bus. If my budget not so tight, I would prefer the train because it is faster and more comfortable, but I am going to spend two nights in a bus… awesome! It is a business trip just for one day and I will have a lot of free time in the city. So, I hope weather will be well and I have pleasure of the walking and sitting near the… Read more »
Hello Yulia, I miss our daily challenges too!! It makes me excited for the June challenge. And how fun to go to Helsinki for work! It sounds like you have some good plans for your free time there – the idea of coffee and a sandwich by the sea sounds perfect. A few things: “If my budget [wasn’t] so tight …” — we need to have a verb. ” …spend two nights [on] a bus.” Prepositions are so tricky. We can say “in a car” or “in a truck” but for larger vehicles we say “on a bus,” “on a… Read more »
Hello Annemarie!
I missed your reply on my travel story. Thank you very much for your comments and correction of my text. As you already know, my trip was success and also I had extra practice in English. And weather was really amazing! The local people jocked that we have a chance to get very unusual gift from Helsinki – a sunburn!
Yulia
Hi Yulia,
A sunburn in Helsinki! That is the first time I’ve ever heard about that! 🙂
I’m so glad it was a successful trip, Yulia. It really made me happy to hear about your experience! ~ annemarie
Everybody loves traveling and I’m not an exception! There is no point in choosing the best way of traveling, all of them are good to get new impressions, to relax and to reload your mind. As a rule it’s me who arranges family vacation from scratch. The choice of vacation depends on a budjet, on a season and its length. Especially I love short holidays for 3-4 days because they are so dynamic, full of events; it’s really a great short break in a busy life. We usually stay at small private hotels without many amenities but with picturesque views… Read more »
This sounds like the perfect long weekend, Olga! Especially now that spring is starting, I’m dreaming of an easy 3-4 day trip on the countryside. Do you enjoy the planning for vacations or is it stressful for you?
Perfect use of: from scratch, without many amenities, not any hidden extras.
A few changes for articles: “…it’s me who arranges [the] family vacation”
“…on [the] season and its length.”
“… [a] friendly atmosphere.”
I hope you get to go on a vacation like this soon! 🙂 ~ Annemarie
Hello, I am Rafif Last summer I travelled to Turkey with my family ; my husband and my four daughters, my father and mother, my sisters and brother and their own families . We were 21 persons which means different ages, different needs and expectations about vactions, and I can’t be bothered by all those details. For that I have chosen All_inclusive kind of vactions. Our choice settled on Kartepe (green park ) for a littlr R&R. They also offer breakfast, dinner and afternoon snack time and a lot of amenities like Turkish bath, ( sauna and Jacuzzi), paint ball… Read more »

I love traveling, I do believe that traveling gives you a better perspective on life, it changes you. When you come back home you are a bit different! You have tons of new ideas, stories to tell! I think it is a good way to reboot all your system and we all need a little R and R after all! I remember when a child we would go to the seaside like every year. Our parents would pack up a car and all our belongings and our trip would begin. You know Ukraine is the biggest country in Europe, so… Read more »

Thank you so much! You are adorable!:) It is always fun to travel with a great company!:)
What wonderful details, Maria! I can imagine getting up early and into the car to start a 10-hour road trip! And I love your 3 must-haves (don’t forget the ‘s’ on ‘haves’ since it’s 3). Like you, I love the idea of the seaside, the sunset, and grilling over the fire! Great use of: sense of adventure, perspective on life, a little R&R, tons of, on a tight budget and several more! A couple things: I remember when [I was] a child or I remember [as] a child, stroll [on] the beach Thanks so much for sharing this! I enjoyed… Read more »
Thank you! I do have a quick question (this is your phrase, I know:)): stroll on – is it always with “on”? Or it depends? Could you help me with this one, please? I like this word and want to use it correctly! Thank you!
Hi Maria,
Great question. Actually, it isn’t the verb (stroll) that is important. It is the noun that follows: on the beach. We can use any verb with this: jog on the beach, run on the beach, stroll on the beach, etc. Other examples: along the river, around the city. So you could say: stroll along the river, stroll around the city.
Best, Annemarie
Frankly speaking, I love travelling a lot. I love spending my free time or vacation with my family and my friends! By the way, I can have a great vacation even if I’m on a tight budget. The alternative variant is to have a staycation. My city is so amazing and beautiful! There are a lot of places of interest here. I also like to go out of the city, to go to the country, for example. Love that feeling when you pack up the kids, friends, dogs into the car, pack all outdoor gear. And It goes without saying… Read more »

Tatyana, you’ve done such a great job creating your own story and sharing your memories!
Great use of: on a tight budget, staycation, pack up the kids, outdoor gear, all-inclusive.
I was quite impressed with your use of prepositions and articles. There are just a couple missing: [the] outdoor gear, [an] all-inclusive. Really impressive!
And I agree with you completely, with some inspiration and desire, any vacation can be magical!
Thank you so much for sharing your story! ~ Annemarie
Dear Rachel, I am Tanja Kuzmanoska from Macedonia. I follow your posts and videos, but I resonate with this post the most, it came just in time. I love traveling, I have traveled places and been on interesting vacations. Recently I started a blog on traveling , the first post I wrote was in Macedonian, but few days ago I translated it in English. It is written in a different style, rather a blend of travel guide and prosaic, emotional text. I would love if you read it and give me a feedback. I send you the link below. Thank… Read more »
Hi Tanja,
Thank you for your comment. How exciting that you have started a blog on traveling! I’d be happy to read it.
I do have a quick question – I wasn’t sure who Rachel was?
Thanks again for the comment. I’ll be sure to email you with any feedback on your English travel story! ~ Annemarie
Hi again Annemarie, I am so sorry I have mistaken your name for Rachel, I hope you will forgive me!

🙂 Hi Tanja,
No problem. It happens. I just wasn’t sure who you meant.
I’ll look forward to reading your blog later today! ~ Annemarie
Dear Tanja,
I really enjoyed getting to read your story about your hometown or where your ancestors are from. You have a gift with words. I could really get a feeling for the area. How interesting that there are only two families there now!!
Thank you for sharing your site. I hope you will continue to write! ~ Annemarie
