Whether you travel near and far, you should make the most of each moment by embracing some long held truths of traveling.
The list in the attached article is particularly poignant. I can particularly relate to many of of the items in the list, such as:
- how you come to realize that you would much rather travel in a small car than have a huge home and other major material possessions
- how you will always over pack - no matter how hard you try not to
- how it is important to keep track of what you see and feel - through journaling and photos

Reduce travel stress
Submitted by Wanderlust AndiTraveling is stressful, and the stress doesn’t necessarily stop when you reach your destination. So make life easier by having the addresses you need on hand. Also, set the GPS in your phone for audible directions to get you where you’re going. Rent a car, unless you are somewhere taxis or public transit are easier to use, and when you rent, use a loyalty program to save time and paperwork. Check the weather too, to avoid surprises. Finally, allow yourself plenty of extra time.
Are you warming your car before driving? You could be fined.
