Here is a Travel guide to digest! Although many of us dream of traveling the world (or at least taking a few months off from work to practice adventure), it is not always feasible, even for those with the best intentions.
There are many things that can get in the way. I often talk about long journeys and traveling around, but I know that in reality not everyone can or want to enjoy this way of traveling. I do not think that world travel is difficult, but I also know that what I do is not for everyone.
Becoming a Local Tourist
If you have too little time and money, there is no better way to spend some free time than to wander through your city. Regardless of its size, it has some wonders waiting to be discovered.
Important: if you become a local tourist, look out of your home and into a hotel, hostel or guest house. It is important to get out of your familiar environment because if you stay at home, you will find something to do in the house and make excuses for why you cannot see it. Moving to another location can give you that feeling of adventure, excitement, and unfamiliarity.
Regional Travelling
Travel is reminiscent of far and exotic destinations. It evokes images of all the places we have dreamed of and seen in films. That is why few people look for adventure in their backyard.
You do not have to fly over an ocean to explore the world. Go to the bookstore, buy a regional guide and see what can be seen in your region. Your backyard has as many travel destinations as possible as a country that is half a world away.
Becoming a House Sitter
Accommodation can eat at the cost of a big-time trip. You can get a plane ticket, but then accommodation, even if you find it cheap, can push the cost of your journey to a priceless area. One way to do that is to stay somewhere free. Although some individuals like CouchSurfing, it is difficult to do that for two weeks without irritating your host.
A unique way to remedy this is to let someone sit while on vacation. You get free accommodation, a kitchen to cook in and the chance to explore a destination in depth. It is a unique way of traveling, and a lot of world travelers use it. You can even do this in your region, to reduce transportation costs.
Booking a Last-Minute Tour
Why are journeys at the last minute so cheap? Well, consider how people plan vacations. You get the free time, you book your holiday, you buy your flight, and you go. Because people book in advance, the prices are higher in advance because these companies understand booking patterns and then the price accordingly.
As the departure time approaches, companies know that people probably do not show up and book on the day of departure, so they make the price so that they increase the bookings. So take your time off, wait until the week before, see what is cheap and then go.
Keep in mind that although you may not have much time or money, fortunately, there is more than one way to see the world. Travelling is simply the art of going somewhere else and different and discovering everything the place has to offer. It does not matter whether you have two days, two weeks or two months.
