“I can’t afford to travel!”
That’s the number one reason people avoid traveling. Did you know travel is much more affordable than you ever imagined? Often, it’s not the cost of travel that hold us back; it’s the cost of life that clips our wings and keeps us {unhappily} in the daily grind.
How do we control the costs, get unclipped, and enjoy a travel lifestyle?
Here are 3 tips to make your travel dreams a reality.
Make Room for Travel
So many of us are sucked into the grind. Wake up. Commute to work. Skip lunch. Go home, exhausted. Collapse on the couch. Pay bills. Go to bed, only to wake up and do it all over again. This, for many, is “living.” However, this routine contains very little life. So, the first tip is to make room for life…and travel.
Pull out your calendar and choose your date of escape. Maybe it’s a weekend, a week, a month or longer. Just choose your date right now and block the time.
This is an important first step because you establish the goal and everything you do must support the goal. Where are you spending your time and money? If it doesn’t support the goal of travel, and traveling is important to you, ditch it or delegate it.
