New Year Resolution: Travel This Year Tip

The itchy, red, tired eyes start to swell from staying up all night as the cold winter chill bites at the nose. A trusty scarf and a cap and jacket helps deter the cold from preventing the gawking of the fireworks display to come. People surround to share the celebration of the new year to come. Maybe not just huddled to stay warm, but perhaps in an elegant dress and dapper attire as a band plays music until the wee hours. This is the time of year that reflection happens, and the question is asked: “What did I accomplish this year?” As the countdown begins, the list of new resolutions start to fill the brain. “I need to lose more weight… for real this time.” “I will find myself a new job.” “I will start a new hobby… that does not include my Xbox controller.” “I will travel more this year”.

Most New Year’s resolutions never get accomplished. Heck, most New Year’s resolutions never even get started. The losing of weight resolution always seems to ends by sitting on the couch after 2 days at the gym. But the last resolution on the list, that is something we can help with. That resolution to travel.

So where does a person even start? Planning the trip is one of the hardest things to do. Well a great place would be to check out the article posted about how to plan a trip. We wrote this article, to help get it all started… so that you don’t go back to sitting around the Xbox.

Where do you go? Knowing how much a flight costs is one of the largest decision on where to go. A great resource to help figure out where to go, would be farecompare.com. You can find more at this article on how farecompare can help you get cheap flights and help decide on when and where to go. This is a much better way than throwing darts at a map on the wall.

Now that the destination is set, where does one lay their head? Well hotel can be pricey and a hostel is not for everyone. Well a good alternative to both can be found on AirBnB.com. An article of AirBnB can be found here. It is a great alternative to paying through your nose or sleeping with roaches.

After landing in the airport, one of the worst nightmares is that the luggage does not arrive at the airport on that same day or at all. How does someone deal with that? Well we have that covered as well. Check out this article of what do when luggage gets lost or how to reduce the risk of luggage getting lost.

So these articles may not make a person thinner or find that dream job of doing nothing and getting paid for it. We do hope however it allows someone to accomplish that goal to travel more. What are some of your resolutions this year? How can we help you accomplish them? Do you have any useful tips for someone who wants to travel. Leave a message below, send us a tweet
