Travelling graphic

New Year

The end of the year is closing in, 2014 is just a couple of weeks away. It is the perfect time to make plans and good promises. Going more often to the gym, giving that one friend more often a visit, working more for school,... And last but not least: making travel plans. Promising yourself to see (even) some more of the world this year.

Last new year, 2012 changing in 2013, was a bit less happy, since the Mayans had predicted world's end. I found an infographic on the internet stating that one of the last things people would do before this happened, is traveling. Only spending time with family could top the 'travelinganswer'.


This infographic is very decorative with a nice usage of colours and simple forms and figures. In the first part the creator explains how he has recieved the information, which makes it reliable. The graphic is quite repetitive; giving the number of people choosing traveling as last activity, than zooming in on the answers from travel bloggers. Then the aswer gets more concrete by filling it in with questions such as 'Where would you travel?' 'What would you do there?' ... This graphic is not too dense or difficult, yet provides some interesting facts.

Would you be traveling before the world collapses?
