Travels A Life / / December 19, 2019
Time. It seems that it will never be enough. And the lack of time - this is one of the reasons that indicate people, when they explain why they have little travel. Of course, there is also a physical problem, but now we will not talk about them.
We will not dissemble, those who spend at work in the office 8:00 from 9 to 6, is much more limited in their freedom, than, say, freelancers. They can not afford to just take on mesyatsok go to another country to change the situation. From Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 6 they should be in the workplace. Nevertheless, even with such a lifestyle they can travel much more than they do. They just always think that they do not have enough time for it. And this is not the case.
Let's count. If your work - it's not quite so slavery, then you work 5 days a week. For relaxation, there are 2 days off each week, plus public holidays, plus you have a legitimate long vacation in 28 calendar days. In general, we get in a year about 145 days to relax. It's so much! It's actually 4.5 months, which can be devoted to travel! Yes, they are not in a row, and still, it is very time consuming. So when you say that you do not have time to travel, which means that you just do not put a priority on a trip. It's like saying that you do not have time to go to the gym, it is just you prefer to spend it elsewhere.
"Journey" - a cruise on a yacht or a plane flight to another country. And there is nothing wrong or surprising. This marketing of the tourism industry told us, what should be the "journey". And it is so sunk into our heads that it is now hard enough to think differently.The problem, in fact, that the word "journey", many associated with the long-term, big trip.
But there are many ways to quench your thirst for travel, even when you do not have much time.
On the weekend
Two days - it's not much, but still enough to explore neighboring towns. A couple of days in any other place, it is better than a couple of days in their own couch.
A week
There is a week has for the rest? It is not necessary to plan a trip to Central Africa, to which you'll get longer! Select a place closer. Believe me, these places are worth just to look.
Stay a tourist in your city
How often do you visit the places that tourists usually go? Parks, quays, museums? Surely you've been there for a long time and may not have been at all? Remove the room for one night and stay a tourist! Go for a walk in the places where you have never been, or have been for a long time.
Important: be sure to spend the night away from home, or in the morning you tightened daily activities. You will think: now I will finish with the cleaning and once for a walk! And when the harvesting is finished - it gets dark outside already. Your goal - to disrupt the order of things, and to overcome the routine, and for this to get away from home is a must. By the way, you will also be spared the morning cases like cleaning beds and cooking breakfast!
Spend time wisely
Do not try for one trip to see everything. It is impossible for two weeks to see half of Europe or a month to conquer South America. If you think that the "journey" means "to see as much as possible", then you are fundamentally wrong. When planning a route, you start to mark the places you want to see, then you know that the week will not be enough, and put off the journey until the moment when you will have "more" time. No need to wait. Just look at one or two places. But you will have occasion to return to this city again. And yet from such a leisurely trip, you get so much more fun. You will be able to calmly assess every moment and feel the spirit of the city.
So, as soon as you feel that you would like to travel, do not discard this idea immediately saying yes there is still time! Look for an opportunity to escape from the routine and see something new in the world that surrounds you. The methods we have described in this article will help you get new impressions, refresh and renew himself for new achievements and accomplishments.
