Doing the conga with a line of polar bears or rafting down the Nile on a truck tire can sound like the stuff of fantasy.
 
But this summer, there’s nothing left to do but make your travel dreams a glorious reality. You don’t have to be flush with cash, either, to have a good time. Plan well, and “roughing it” in Europe, Latin America or even Toronto can lead to a whole range of experiences that go beyond your typical tourist photo-ops.
