Travel - It makes us grow and to learn about different place, language, culture, cuisine and various other things. It helps us escape the daily routine and experience something new.
Now these unexpected circumstances have put our whole world on hold. Travelling certainly feels like a luxury these days. So here's the list of some activities which you can do successfully to keep the wanderlust in you happy.
Watch vlogs :
Seems obvious, but watching the vlogs or reading about our next/dream travel destination is the closest thing we can do right now to get the travel experience we are craving for. You can really enjoy a lot if you just pick the right location and right content you are watching, without making you feel sad or missing out. Instead it will give you the new hope and excitement to pack your bags and travel these places soon once everything is alright.
Make that Dream Bucket list:
Bucket Lists of places, experiences, food , cuisine, shopping etc which excites you and you were always postponing to make that list, start working on that now. We always gets excited to see such bucket list of people shared on social media but we never really bothered to write down the list we have in our subconscious mind. So, it's a great time to retrospect and start jotting down all those wishes of yours :)
Make Itinerary for Next Plan
Having the good Itinerary always helps you to avoid unexpected situations in our travel. Also I am aware that no trip can go 100% as per our planning. But if we have time, and we can plan more carefully and extensively we can surely reduce the chances of these mishappenings. So let's start making a detailed itinerary for at least 2-3 of your destinations in mind. It will surely keep the traveller in you alive. For me, I have already watched enough vlogs of Greece and Spain in these 30days, that I exactly know- where to go for your breakfast meal or sunset romantic dinners by the beach. :)
Learn a new language
Different place, different people and different language- Soul of our travel experience. Why can't we just start making an effort of learning some new language which make us feel good and one we always wanted to learn in our unconscious mind.
Learn a new skill
If you love travelling, I am sure you have interest in at least one of these skills- photography, videography, blogging, vlogging, editing pics, planning the itineraries etc. So I think it's a very opportunistic time to upgrade yourself with these skills. I am trying to learn vlogging in this time.
Make that travel Scrap book
Remember the scrap book from `Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani`, which Kabir kept with himself. You can also try creating such travel book for you, let it be a digital one if you want. Going through your travel memories, or planning for next ones, It will surely make you super happy to collect and relive those memories again
Talk to the friends you lost connection with
Our Busy lives sometimes make us loose connection with the friends or people we love. Now if we have a little more free time at home and we keep complaining about getting bored, why don't we try reconnect with the people we cared about. Make it simple, talk, catchup , and laugh with your friends to travel in your old memory lane :)
Thats all, I hope you liked my suggestions.
Stay Home, Stay Safe
