Want to go somewhere...But not sure where??


You've seen movies, tv shows, even documentaries which feature different locations around the world. You've seen all the pictures on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and other social media platforms showcasing those beautiful, scenic locations from city streets to mountain tops.

But how do you choose where to go?

The choices are endless, and believe it, it's not easy to choose one when you have a plethora of options to pick from. However, some people know from the start where they want to go. It's not so easy for others.

10 Things To Consider When Choosing A Destination

1. What do you like to do in your spare time?
2. Do you want to explore your own location? Or heritage seeking?
3. Why are you traveling?
4. Are you traveling alone or with others such as your significant other, family, friends?
5. Do you like warm or cold weather? Weather that constantly changes?
6. Do you like to explore off the beaten path or stick to guided exploration?
7. Are you seeking a challenge or playing it safe?
8. Do you want to stay within your current limits or explore other places/countries?
9. What would other travels recommend?
10. What gives you a rush?

Now, this list is not mutually exclusive or exhaustive. Meaning, these aren't the only questions to ask yourself and the list can go on. I tried to focus exclusively on questions you'd ask yourself when choosing a physical destination to go to and not factors such as finances, fear, or time which would contribute to picking a destination.

Happy destination hunting!

Why I got this Tattoo?

Why the Tattoo? Not only am I a traveler but I'm also an avid tattoo collector. I love getting tattoos and collecting a variety of different styles. I'm slowly working on building that collection. But I digress. So, why did I get this tattoo? For a number of reasons actually. I know, I know, as an avid tattoo collector I got a very Pinterest type of tattoo. Although I'm proud to admit I took this idea from Pinterest, and I apologize to the original person who got it and everyone else out there who hates the typical Pinterest tattoo, but this tattoo has a lot of meaning to me. It Reduces my Anxiety I love traveling, I love being on a plane, however I have so much anxiety when I'm in a plane!!! I'm always afraid something is going to happen on the plane, or something doesn't go according to the schedule, or we hit severe turbulence or "bad air". It gets so bad that it brings tears to my eyes and I start to low key cry in my seat before...

The Wait was Finally Over!

I debated long and hard about when I wanted to do the study abroad program Did I want to do it my sophomore year? Did I want to wait until my junior year? Or even my senior year? After thinking it over, I decided it would be best to wait until I was a senior to do the program. Why? Because it would give me a chance to save money for the costs, to complete most of the required courses for my majors so I wouldn't be eligible for graduation, and to really determine the right study abroad program for me. Fun fact: Protest at Big Ben 2015 Choosing a program was tough. Not only did I have to see which program would fit my financial circumstances, but whether I had a high enough GPA, whether the university and courses offered in London were the equivalent to the courses I'd take here, and if the program was centered around a certain area of study or if it was general. There was so much to think about, and I spent the next 2 years of college doing my research, talking to my profe...

Travel 101

Image
So, I found some inspiration from a Reddit post I saw a short while ago.  This couple from the UK was planning on traveling to the US, specifically San Francisco, Yosemite, and Los Angles, not to mention going to multiple places such as Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge on a budget of 1500 pounds! They want to travel and do a lot of things while on the West coast and were looking for advice on planning and asked if their budget was enough. So, they took to a forum for answers and for the most part received very helpful feedback and advice on their planning and research. Quite frankly, only having a budget of 1500 pounds for roundtrip airfare for two, plus multiple destinations and excursions, is a vast underestimate of the total cost they'd actually need for the whole trip! It got me thinking about how for some people who are brand new to traveling they may not know where to start. Or how to budget for a trip with multiple destinations and excursions. So, I decided to take to...
