We dream of traveling across the world but we always wait for a perfect day and time, specially now in the current world scenario.

COVID Restrictions

We all have been through a lot in the last year and half. Travel has changed A LOT. Slowly and steadily things have restarted but there is still a little uneasiness in the people. As the Covid-19 vaccination efforts gather steam nationwide and woldwide, we can start packing our bags and plan our next trip. There are still certain restrictions in different parts of the country and each country comes with its own set of rules. But COVID restrictions should not stop us from traveling.  On the contrary, we must follow the rules and restrictions imposed as they are for our safety only. You can quite easily find the travel regulations for a state or country online. Abide by those and travel free, does not get any simpler. With time the restrictions ease and are only more pro-travel. We all are learning and adapting but get vaccinated and travel!

I don’t have travel plans

Turning up at the airport with a packed suitcase and no idea of where you’ll be going is an unrealistic thought. Just like any other achievement, if you want to make your travel dreams come true you need to plan. What does travel mean to you? Why and how do you want to travel? Is it to see the beauty the world has to offer or to understand local cultures? Or maybe discover yourself or spend some time with your loved ones? It could even be just to jazz up your Instagram profile. There are no rights or wrongs, but knowing what is the one thing that drives you the most to travel will help you set in action a travel escapade without looking back in regret.

“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller“. Ibn Batuta

Plan your travel budget

First you need to figure out how much you need and for that you need to know where you want to go. Sure, you would have a bucket list that runs into multiple pages. Identify the top one (maybe two) places that you have in your mind. It may help you to make a rough travel plan. For instance, a backpacking trip with your friends across Himachal Pradesh is your first target to hit. Narrowing down your choices makes your trip more realistic and helps you commit. Once you’ve identified your destination you need to get an estimate of your trip’s overall costs, including flights, accommodation, transportation and food.
