Submitted by Wanderlust Andi

Traveling can and should be an adventure. There are so many aspects to traveling that are often overlooked or underestimated. By being aware of all of the great truths of traveling, you can be sure to really make each moment count whether you are traveling alone, with family or with friends. 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
  • how travel makes you see the world differently - it is a degree in life

If you have traveled at all, you are bound to find many points you can relate to in the article. And - if you have never traveled - this list could easily encourage you to take the next step towards travel!

Reduce travel stress

Submitted by Wanderlust Andi

Traveling 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.
