Have I been travelling or just on holiday?

I hate it when "travellers" think of themselves as avoiding the beaten track and only going to places are that aren't comercialised.

Did you pay to get there? Yes? Then it's commercialised.

But I have done some extended travels / holidays (whatever you want to call them) and I would recommend each route:
