Toy Travel Agencies Give Stuffed Animals International Tours

Toy travel is a new trend emerging on the travel scene. Affordable, fun, and easily shared with family and friends, sending a favorite stuffed animal to far off places is a new spin on giving loved ones a chance to travel the world.

Although the available destinations are few, toy traveling is gaining popularity amongst people of all ages who want to experience global travel from a new perspective, or who can't afford to travel the world themselves but want to feel the thrill of exploring new places. Two travel agencies have dedicated their resources to exclusively pamper toys on tour, Toy Traveling and Barcelona Toy Travel.

Toy Traveling offers luxurious travel packages for people interested in sending their beloved toys to explore Prague, the national capital of the Czech Republic. With vacation tours beginning at 90 EUR (Around $120 USD) toys are pampered with a variety of goods and services such as professional photographs of the toy's city tour, a personal profile on Blogger to chronicle the trip, daily e-mails from the toy to its owners, a Passport and a souvenir for the toy to take home to loved ones. Extra luxuries such as massage and aromatherapy can also be added in upgraded travel packages.

Barcelona Toy Travel is an agency offering toy travel options in Barcelona, Spain. Offering similar accommodations and services as their competitor, basic international travel packages also start at 90 EUR (Around $120 USD) that include professional photographs, a Facebook page for your toy, e-mail communications from your toy while he or she is on tour and a souvenir from Barcelona. Upgrading the trip also opens your toy's travel options to include a visit to a theme park, a tasting of food from the region and an organized meeting with other toy travelers from around the globe.

While sending stuffed animals on tour may seem frivolous or odd to some, for a growing number of travel aficionados it is a concept that is appealing to the child within. Not only does toy travel break the mold and allow people to explore the world in a new way, it is a great way to help people to feel a connection with parts of the world that they may never have a chance to see for themselves. Perfect as a gift for a child to help them understand how big (or small) the world can be or as an indulgence for adults with a love of toys and travel, toy travel is one of the more fun ways for us to reconnect with our sense of adventure in a whole new way.
