SHAREaCAMPER Global Adventure Ranking

At SHAREaCAMPER, we think adventuring is the best way to vacation, and we’re proud of Australia’s reputation as a hub for daring travellers. But what about other countries?

We created the Global Adventure Ranking to investigate which countries best embody the spirit of adventure. For 40 countries, we chose eight of the most popular adventurous activities including skydiving, skiing and of course, caravanning. We researched the Google search volume for keywords associated with these activities in the last twelve months, which we then averaged to find a monthly search figure. We presented these in two tables below; firstly by the rank of the number of searches in each country proportionate to 100,000 citizens. The second table then shows the rank of the number of overall searches in each country.

The results show that The Netherlands ranks highest for total searches of adventurous activities per capita, followed by Australia and Sweden. The USA rank highest for the total searches of adventurous activities, followed by Germany and France. Australia came in second place ranked per capita, with searches for surfing, skydiving and rock climbing ranking highest .¹

“Both our caravan owners and renters are adventurers at heart,” states SHAREaCAMPER CEO, Florian Dahlmann. “Although our we are based in Germany, Australia and New Zealand, knowing where to find adventurous people across the world is interesting for ourselves and any other business that thrives on adventure.”

^{For each country, findings were calculated based on the volume of Google searches via Google Analytics for all relevant keywords during the past twelve months. These were then divided by twelve to give an average monthly figure. The figures presented here are accurate per 100,000 citizens in each country, and by total search results, respectively. The default ranking is based on the ranking of total adventurous searches by 100,000 citizens or the ranking of total overall searches.↩}
