The world is full of amazing places and people. And it’s worth spending every single second of your life exploring the marvels of this planet, its different cultures, its amazing range of flavors and tastes and its stunning variety of people and beings as well.
Regardless of whether you are a short-term or long-term traveller, you know that some time, you need to come back home as well. You have a family and a lot of friends there. And sometimes it’s great to be in a place you are comfortable with, so that you recharge your batteries for a whole new sessions of travels.
How to keep the travel alive when you’re at home though? How to keep your passion for exploring new places alive when you are in your old bedroom at home?
We have gathered some of the best tips to inspire you, so read on if you want to find out more.
Research new places
If you want to keep your thirst alive, research as many places as possible. Research the amazing things about them, plan when you will travel to them and even making bookings ahead of time to save money.
Doing this at home will allow you to think clearer about the things you want to prioritize in your travels and it will also keep your curiosity and your willingness for a “life on the road” at high levels as well.
Surround yourself with inspiration
Regardless of how much time you plan on spending at home, you can always surround yourself with inspiration from the countries you have visited or you plan on visiting. For instance, creating a collage of photos with pictures from your most preferred countries and placing it in your living room to see it every single day will keep your passion stirred and it will make you want to travel more and more.
Also, you could redecorate your entire home according to a theme inspired by your favorite places in the world. Buying pieces of furniture to remind you of Asia or of any other place you really love will make you long for those places and it will make you feel like wanting to do whatever it takes to go back there. Likewise, picking small decorative items for the home that are inspired by foreign lands will do the same thing too.
Talk with friends you met during your travels
If you are like most of the world trekkers out there, you probably met a lot of people on the road – people you really like and really miss. Keeping in touch with them will help you motivate yourself to go back to the traveling life and it will boost your “travel mood”. Also, it will give you important hints on what to visit next, what to do to get there and what are the best ways to ensure your staying there is really memorable.
It doesn’t matter who you are! Your “travel sense” can (and should!) be kept alive – precisely because it will push you to see even more places and gather even more amazing stories!
