This funny thing happens when you get home from a great trip. You start to feel a little bummed. The post-trip blues hit us all, especially when you’ve had a memorable travel experience. But after a while, the post-trip blues fade as we get caught up in the mundane tasks of everyday life. After all, the stressors of everyday life can make it hard to remember how great it felt to lie on a beach or explore a famous museum.
Keep your travel hopes alive
One of the reasons travel is so fulfilling isn’t just because of the break we take from everyday life. It’s the anticipation we feel before a trip and the fondness we recall when we return to living our everyday lives. Those feelings make traveling more than a single experience. But holding onto those feelings when you’re a bit blue from returning from a trip or caught up in the struggles of everyday life can be challenging.
What can you do to hold onto the excitement of travel?
- Research new travel destinations: There’s nothing quite as fun as researching new places to explore! Perk your interest in new destinations by following travel blogs, reading travel articles, or researching new places, cultures and experiences you want to try. Keep a list handy to know where you want to go next.
- Learn a new language. Learning a new language can awaken your desire to travel and experience new cultures. With the plethora of language apps, you can spend a few minutes each day learning.
- Build up your travel savings: Setting aside monthly money for your next vacation is a great way to keep your love of traveling alive. Your savings will grow each month, and you’ll feel more excited as you get closer to your savings goal for your next trip.
- Upgrade your travel gear: The holiday season is approaching, which usually means good luggage and travel gear deals. Nothing will make you want to travel more than new luggage or gear, so upgrade when you see seasonal promotions to save some money!
