Try another life

Participatory stays, crafts and the experience of an unfamiliar role.

Explore meaningful experiences and choose the version that suits you.

Start with these guides

  1. Make something you will use: a first green-wood carving workshop. A kitchen spatula or butter spreader can become a lasting reminder of a day spent learning with your hands.
  2. For a little while, the bookshop is yours to run.. Stay above a real bookshop in Wigtown and take a turn behind its counter.
  3. Choose a first Rovaniemi snowmobile outing for the experience, not the speed. Use a short named safari to explore whether snowmobiling appeals, with driving eligibility, shared riding and personal requirements checked first.
  4. Ride Shotover Canyon’s jet boat—or decide the riverbank is your view. Decide whether the Shotover Canyon jet-boat ride is your kind of experience, then plan participation, check-in and travel.
  5. See Luxor from a balloon, with room for the morning to change. Consider an early-morning balloon flight over Luxor’s West Bank, with participation and weather conditions understood before booking.
  6. Try motorcycling through a proper first training course. Explore a long-held interest in riding through instruction, without treating a first course as a road-trip qualification.

Choose an experience that fits your interests and check current visitor arrangements.
