how to travel on a budget in your 20s Archives

Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, amidst all those busy life schedules, amidst the human rat race of survival, amidst all the hurry and worries of life. Every one of us have many dreams to live and travel to favorite places. There is always a hidden wanderlust in every one of us but due to this or that reason, most of us never live up to the dreams which we cherished since our childhood.

Two of the biggest reasons are time and money. Corporate culture has so overpowered us that even if by mistake people go on vacations, most of the time they are available on mails or phone. Money, being one of the biggest concerns of the populace especially in a country where about 70% of the population belongs to middle or lower class and due to other responsibilities, they give up their travel dreams because of thought of budget. So, what if I show you how to go about it and help you to live up to your dreams and wake up your inner wanderlust?

Taking a break or vacation does not only rejuvenate your senses and agility, it helps in a number of ways. It improves your health, job performance, motivation, relationships and perspective. It gives you the break needed to return to your “live” and jobs refreshed and better equipped to handle whatever comes. It is definite that workers who take regular time to relax are less likely to experience burnout, and this makes them more creative and productive than their overworked, under-rested colleagues.

The highlighted steps below will help you avoid this apathy and live up to the best version of yourself:

Plan: Planning is essential in every aspect of human life and this cannot be overlooked. Plan simplifies life. So, I can hear you thinking aloud…What are the things to plan for? Where do you intend to go? When do you plan to go? For how many days? How much will it cost? (Don’t be scared about this…lol). What are the things needed? All these must be well spelt out before embarking on your journey. The best way is to write them down on your notepad (or even sheet of paper) for proper documentation.

Save Money: From the proper documentation, you would have known the amount needed for the trip. Once you know the amount needed, the next is to save towards that amount. It surprised me how many people wish to achieve things they’ve never planned for. Even if the digits seems outrageous, at least you know what you’re working towards. Oh! I have issue with saving money, what should I do? You can simply make use of travelling agents. Many people don’t know that travelling agents help you pay in installment for several packages.

Be flexible: Many people love the idea of being seen at the most popular tourist destinations despite the fact that they don’t have the capacity to embark on such (especially due to the financial involvement). Why don’t you search for tourist destinations close to you? Starting from such destinations give you the opportunity to fulfill your dreams even at a lower or affordable cost. And remember, the idea is to enjoy the moment and take a break from your workaholic lifestyle.
