We all love to travel, but how diverse have your travels been? Many of us go away a few times per year, but we always end up in the same places. As a result, I’ve compiled a few tips that will help you see more of the world as you travel. Check them out, then put them into practice!
Make more frequent, shorter, trips
The conventional approach to traveling is to go away for a long time. Almost everyone plans a big summer holiday where they’re abroad for a week. However, this is often the only holiday that some of you go on. Instead, think about taking more frequent trips that aren’t as long. Instead of booking two weeks off work all in one go, book a few days here or there. Travel on weekends and take city breaks to loads of different places. It’s a brilliant way to see more countries and cities throughout the year, as opposed to relaxing in one location for two weeks in the summer.Travel outside of peak times
Again, most of us are guilty of traveling during peak times. This includes summer, but also in parts of the year where the schools are out. As a consequence, traveling becomes more expensive. Everything costs more during peak times as the demand for services is higher than normal. This is usually why you only go away to one place for a week or two - it’s too expensive to do anything else. But, if you travel outside of peak times, then it’s much cheaper. So many airlines or hotels have deals on throughout the year to help you save money. The only catch is that most of the deals never run during peak holiday times! Still, you can have an amazing time at any point in the year. Also, seeing as it’s cheaper to travel, this means you can afford to make more frequent trips throughout the year!Invest in a mobile home
Yep, this is a genius way to see more of the world. While mobile homes require a substantial investment, they pay for themselves over time. With one of these, you don’t have to pay for accommodation wherever you go. You can stay in your own place all the time! My advice is to maybe find a cheap mobile home that you can improve. It’s easy to hang drywall in a mobile home to alter the interior and create a mini-house that’s perfect for you. Also, consider buying a mobile home in a different country - like Europe. It can stay at a campsite when you’re not using it, and you can rent it out. But, the main benefit is that you can use it to travel around the entire continent on your vacations. If you keep one in your home country, then you limit your ability to travel around.There you have it; three tips to help you see more of the world. Start expanding your horizons and go to new places this year. I’ll set a challenge for everyone reading this, see how many new countries you can visit in the next twelve months by using these tips.
