Travel Resolutions for the New Year

A fresh start is always a good idea. 2016 had its ups and downs. Whether you had a good year or a bad one, it is time to move on and look forward to the next year. It is that time of the year when you start planning your New Years resolutions. If you enjoy travelling, chances are you are far more interested in travel-related resolutions than anything else. Here we have some suggestions for you.

Be focused

Random plans never work out. If you want a solid plan to form shape, you need to be focused and actually plan it out with a serious attitude. So your first goal should be to make a solid travel plan and be focused towards achieving it.

Go for solo travelling

At one point, we have all thought about solo travelling but chicken out when we have the opportunity. This year, take the leap and don’t let your fears get the better off you. And brace yourself for all the discouragement and outrages. Follow the ‘Just do it’ rule.

Take a break from Technology

One new year’s resolution that is very important is to vow to be less addicted to technology. To be more precise, minimise your time on the tablet, smartphone, television and laptop. There is no point spending your free time tweeting and being on Facebook. It will only make you lazy and trust me you could spend this time way more productively. When going on a trip, leave all work at home and don’t take your laptop. Also, there is no reason you would need your tablet. Don’t pack that either. Keep the smartphone if it is very necessary, otherwise, you can always keep the old mobile without the smartphone features. It will suffice for calls.

Make friends in every country

Vow to become a little less touristy and a little friendlier with the locals. Meeting new people and learning about new cultures is a wonderful experience. Every new country you visit, make at least one local friend to keep yourself connected with the place. You never know, you may end making a best friend during one of your travels.

Do Spontaneous road trip

Take at least one spontaneous road trip to someplace you have always wanted to go. Or just start driving and end up wherever the drive takes you. It would be an adventure of a lifetime. Such memorable, thrilling experiences stay with you forever.

Save miles for travel trips

We keep planning to start saving up for travelling but never get around to actually doing it. Instead of saving cash, you could start buying airlines miles. Alaska airlines, Delta airlines, Singapore airlines, Cathay Pacific, United airlines and Air Berlin offer some of the best airline programs out there in the travel industry. Pick one and start accumulating the miles that will later help you bag good deals.

EXPENSES

It is during summer where all the prices in Europe go up because there are a lot of tourists and the demand is very high. Travelling will surely cost you a lot especially if you choose Europe as your destination. But with the right research and understanding of all your needs, you will be able to lessen your expenses. It is not easy to find the affordable flights and hotels, but you have to be patient in order to succeed. Although it’s great to consider going for a budget travel, sometimes it is also best to save up money to experience something grand and tremendous when you fly to Europe or to anywhere around the world. There’s no right or wrong way in spending your money for as long as it makes you happy.

WHY YOU SHOULD VISIT #EUROPE

Anyone should visit Europe at least once in their life because the countries in the said continent are very beautiful and full of life. It is important to travel because you get to learn about different people and their ways of life. Europe is such a strong country and it is fundamental for each and every single one of us to experience their culture. Experience will always be the best teacher.

In our society today, many people are fond of looking for the fastest ways to get to their destination. With that, we are unconsciously losing the essence of travelling. You don’t have to rush yourself to travel. There is always a perfect time for it. Sometimes, spending a lot of time in saving money for a week-long trip is better. And in Europe, it is important to embrace every single detail of the journey because that is where most of the beautiful spots in the world are located. Truly, Europe should definitely be part of your bucket list.
