Nowadays, travelling is starting to get more and more popular kind of a hobby, some might say that they are starting to get addicted to travelling, this is probably due to the experience or refreshment, or most likely feeling of achieving your goals.
In life we all want to win, we may not say it out loud or we might not admit it but in reality, or probably by nature, humans want to win. It is the only thing that keeps us going, giving us the drive and making us do things that we thought to be impossible. Some people get this by playing video games, getting their dream job or just plainly being successful in life, while there are others that bring their drive in order to get the goal by travelling, they say that you will never be the same once you see the world, that once you get the feel of travelling, you will look for that same feeling over and over again. They might be right, but in order to make sure that you get the most out of your travel escapades you might want to check everything else like checking the hotel you’re staying at and making sure everything is perfect, you might want to check these tips before stepping out your door.
Travel Trip Tip#1: Secured and Safe Trips
If you are planning to travel or already a regular traveller then this tip is the most important for you. Make sure that the trip you will be doing is safe and secured. Doing a background check on the airlines or the bus ride you will be taking is a must to make sure that there are no history of any constant accidents, delays or mismanagement with their customers bookings. Checking the rating of the Hotel you will be staying at and reading the customers feedback is also natural, by making sure that you are getting the best out of your money is the number one priority, remember you travel and cannot bring your home with you, your resources are limited.
Travel Trip Tip#2: Visit More for Less
When you travel via plane, check if there will be stop-overs before you take the flight. If your goal is to get to your destination faster like you have a schedule that you need to be there or something, then there are the last minute flights, getting to your destination faster gives you more time, and more time means you can visit other areas or other locations. If you are not in a hurry and just travelling just for the sake of travelling like no schedule at all, then make sure to get the trip schedule with interconnecting flights, this way you will be able to get the flight much cheaper and you get to visit more places before getting to your destination.
Travel Trip Tip #3: Equipment Check
Right after booking that flight or bus ride, make sure that you have all the right equipment with you right before you leave the house. Keep in mind that you should not settle for less when it comes to equipment, these items will be with you throughout the entire journey. Picking a backpack for travel is the number one priority as it will carry all your stuff during your travels, getting the most convenient way on how to pack is also essential as it will help you maximize the backpack you will be getting and most of all, make sure to get all the types of outfit to make sure you are ready for any kind of weather and climate.
Travel Trip Tip #4: Enjoy the Journey
Travelling is an experience but some travellers only look at the destination and normally gets bored while on the road or on the plane. Think about this, the moment you took that ride, you are already travelling and it is already a part of your destination, your goal. You have to embrace and enjoy that travel the same way as you enjoy and look forward to your destination. Without that ride you not be able to get to your goal and experience the magic it brings. You also have to enjoy the magic of travelling, the process of “getting there” the suspense and excitement it brings before you get to your intended location and that my friend is one of the secrets.
Travel Trip Tip #5: Back to the Future
Wait, before you get the cringe, let me clear that you will not ride a delorean, run 88 miles an hour, see sparks, disappear and travel through time, no you will not experience that at all. What I’m trying to get here is that, when travelling, it is highly suggested that you should visit some historic places, locations that holds history and mystery, not just by visiting a museum and see the artifacts behind glass, I say you should see them with your own eyes, hold them and feel the history run through your veins, make it memorable and magical, in that way, you will appreciate it more than just reading them through books or researching them online.
Travel Trip Tip #6: Travel Alone
Yes, its more fun and memorable if you have your loved one, wife or kids travelling with you, but you will have more experience and you will be able to see more if you travel alone. Learning is everywhere and travelling is a kind of education where it has to be taken alone otherwise you will not be able to see what it has to offer. In this way, you will be able to contemplate and know yourself even better, the feeling will be so good that you will be a different person once you come back and you will be different in a way that you are a better version of yourself, wiser, and more understanding that what you previously are.
What Happens When I Come Back?
Well, not just you will be able to have more stories to tell but you also bring home the knowledge and the experience you learned during your travels. It’s fun, exciting, thrilling, tiring, interesting, and most of all…yes they’re right, it’s definitely addicting!
