  The past couple of years have held many voyagers captive. Vacationers who were always flying internationally have been traveling domestically instead. No thanks to the COVID-19! Satisfyingly, things are taking a step forward, and foreign trips are almost back to pre-pandemic days.

  If you want to make up for the lost time and plan to put traveling on your list of priorities this 2023, here are some new year’s resolution to ensure you can make the most out of it:

  Create a travel vision board

  The power of a vision board lies in reminding you constantly of your travel goals. You can include photos of destinations you want to visit, adventure activities you want to experience, or even inspirational travel quotes! This can be a great motivator when it comes to saving for a trip or taking other steps to make the trip a reality.

  Include travel in your monthly budget

  Speaking of saving, lack of funding is the most common reason that keeps you from reaching your dream vacation. After all, traveling is as much an investment as it is an opportunity. Allocating a specific budget for your travel goals encourages you to save after paying the bills, set aside a certain percentage of your income for that. 

  Arrange a capsule travel wardrobe

  A capsule wardrobe saves you time and money in shopping, packing, and maintaining clothing in the long run. Most importantly, this reduces decision fatigue and eliminates stress from your packing list. That means you can get back to what really matters: having fun on your trip.

  Go on a solo trip

  Traveling solo can be an incredibly liberating experience — having the freedom to do what you want and when to do it. You get to make your own decisions and overcome challenges thus, a heightened self-confidence. On top of that, you’re far more likely to have a greater awareness of your surroundings, leading to a richer and ultimately more rewarding traveling experience.

  Do something for the first time

  Life is so much sweeter when you do things you’ve never done before. This involves things like trying new modes of transportation, staying in unique accommodations, visiting a country you had never considered before, making new friends, and more. This is the best way to discover your capabilities and find new interests.

  Traveling is more than just a way to escape from the stresses of everyday life. It allows us to learn new things, reconnect with ourselves and others, improve our well-being, and boost our happiness. Don’t take the fun from it by going unequipped!
