Visit A New Country

For some of us, this will be easy as we prefer to explore somewhere new each year, but for many of us it’s very easy to return to the same destinations year in, year out. Whilst it’s perfectly understandable to have a favorite country or place you like to visit, by visiting a new one you will open yourself up to new cultural, culinary and social experiences.

Travel Without Flying

Set yourself the challenge of visiting a destination and journeying there without flying. Not only is this better for the environment, using trains, buses, boats and other modes of transport can help to slow the experience down and introduce you to new people, places and sights you may have missed if you had flown there.

Travel Alone

If you have never had a vacation by yourself before, this is the year to try it. Whether you head to a nearby city for a long weekend, or jet halfway around the world for a month, travelling by yourself can teach you a lot about what you enjoy and what matters to you. It can also boost your confidence, as you’ll discover you’re capable of so much more than you expected.

Here are three reasons why you should consider opting for a bed and breakfast on your next trip!

A More Personal Experience

Bed and breakfasts are generally run by couples or a single person, and this makes for a truly personal and special experience. Instead of not seeing your Airbnb host or going through dozens of hotel staff, you’ll form a personal connection with passionate people who can help enhance your travels.

Tasty Food

Another great part about staying at bed and breakfasts is that they always include breakfasts, and sometimes other meals, which are generally delicious and prepared with love. You don’t have to worry about making breakfast or eating boring hotel food when staying at one.

Serenity

Bed and breakfasts are generally located in calm, rural environments that allow you to find peace and serenity while traveling. Instead of being located in a bustling urban environment, you can connect with nature and a different side of the place you’re visiting while staying at a B&B.

While it isn’t necessary to know a language fluently in order to travel to a place where it’s spoken, just knowing a few words and target phrases can help make your life easier and your travel experience more enjoyable.

No one is expecting you to become Cervantes if you travel to Madrid or to speak like Charles de Gaulle on your next trip to Paris, but while this might be impossible, learning a little goes a long way.

Polite expressions such as please and thank you are a big help and might score you extra points with shopkeepers and restaurant owners. Learning other basic things such as yes, no, and greetings are another great way to help you blend in a bit and endear you to the locals.

It will become apparent eventually that you aren’t a fluent speaker of the language of the place that you are visiting, but that doesn’t matter! Just a little bit of effort can go a long way and help open doors for you in your travels that you might not have had before.

So, consider dedicating just a few hours of study to the language of the place that you want to visit if you want to make the most out of your trip abroad!

Familiar Destinations

One of the most exciting things about traveling is exploring the unknown, but this can be scary when you haven’t traveled in a while. Before booking your dream trip, you can build back your confidence by re-visiting familiar destinations that you know and love.

Road Trips

Road trips are also an amazing option for your toe-dip trip since they come with many unexpected challenges. They’ll prepare you to deal with all the ups and downs of being away from home, and that’s exactly what you need after taking a long break from traveling.

Weekend Getaways

Setting aside a week or two for traveling may not be realistic at this point in time, but there will come a moment when it will be. In the meantime, you can use your weekends to reignite your sense of adventure and embark on short trips to nearby places.

Monmouth, Maine

If you were looking for a small wooden house, hammock, and a canoe to enjoy on the water, this is the location for you. For $175 per night, you can get a private ferry ride for all guests and spend a day exploring the small island before you cook dinner and enjoy a campfire.

Juggler Lake, Minnesota

If your dream has always been to hike on a private island but your budget is tight, start planning your trip to Juggler Lake where you can stay for $349 per night.

Hilton Head, South Carolina

Compared to the previous two, a night on Hilton Head seems expensive at $464 per night, but for a private island, it’s incredibly cheap. It provides everything you need to escape from real-world problems.

It’s undeniable that there are tons of things for travelers to do when visiting a new place, but for those of us who love eating, cooking, and exploring local gastronomy, there’s a new travel trend that’s a must: cooking classes.

Over the past few years, more and more companies and private individuals have set up experiences for visitors that place them in the middle of a kitchen, learning to make local foods and exploring the local cuisine.

Normally, a local chef or a normal individual who loves cooking hosts these experiences, showing off how to make the food that they have grown up preparing and eating. The stories told and the expertise shared will make memories that will last a lifetime.

Whether it’s learning to make couscous in Morocco, learning to perfectly craft sushi in Tokyo, or learning the secrets of mole sauce in Oaxaca, Mexico, these experiences will provide you something that you can use in the future and that you will never forget.

Be sure to check out the local cooking experiences the next time you go on vacation to a new place!

That doesn’t mean that we won’t be able to go back to traveling abroad in the future, however! While stuck at home, why not take these steps to be sure that you are ready for your next trip abroad?

Make Sure You Have Your Documents in Order

Before you travel to another country, there are documents that you will need to have in order to be legally granted access. Depending on where you live and where you are traveling, you might need a passport and/or a visa that allows you to spend time in the country as a tourist. These processes can be done mostly online.

Start Studying the Basics of the Language

If you are traveling to a country where the native language spoken isn’t your own, why not try learning at least the basics of the language spoken there? Apps like Duolingo and free online classes mean that you can at least get the fundamentals of nearly any language down while at home.

Begin Taking a Look at Flights

Flight prices have generally dropped due to the ongoing travel situation, which could mean that this is the perfect time to take advantage and book your flight for the future. Most airlines are offering very flexible cancellation policies, which means that you will be able to book without worry.

Nuts and Seeds

Nuts and seeds are a great snack. You can graze on them during the day while you’re traveling. They’re light, easy to carry, cheap, and packed full of protein, minerals, and good fats. Pumpkin seeds are especially good.

Cookware

If you can, you should get a pressure cooker or portable stove. The best thing to get is an induction cooktop. They are very quick to heat up and cook effectively and efficiently. If you have a cooktop, you can cook food for maximum nutrition.

Oats

If you can find oats to eat in the morning, this will set you up for the whole day. Packed full of fiber, they also have a very slow release of energy that will keep you fuelled up. They are also rich in protein.

Lentils

A quick and easy way to get a good fix of protein, fiber, and vitamins is to make lentil based soups or curries. If you have a cooktop or a stove you will be able to whip these up in no time.

Victoria Falls

You can’t go to Zambia and not see the incredible Victoria Falls in person. They’re located on the Zambezi River between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The waterfall is over a mile long and 355 feet high. Make sure to go to the Knife-edge Bridge and enjoy the incredible view of the Eastern Cataract and the Main Falls.

Lusaka

Lusaka is the capital of Zambia and the economic center of the country. Over 2 million people live there and it’s a great place to visit if you want to explore the urban Zambian culture. You can taste delicious food in many restaurants and explore the outskirts of the city for a taste of the local wildlife.

Kafue National Park

The most beautiful national park in Zambia is located in the central part of the country. This is the place where you can see antelopes, zebras, cheetah, wildebeests, and some of the biggest crocodiles in southern Africa.

Hong Kong, China

The Peak Tramway in Hong Kong is an awesome way to check out the full scope of Hong Kong’s skyscrapers, but also see the beautiful bay. The funicular is 1.5 kilometers long and goes up over 400 meters in altitude!

Guttannen, Switzerland

In the southern part of Switzerland is the Gelmer Funicular, which is the steepest funicular in all of Europe! The tram goes up 1,800 meters and has a maximum gradient of 106%, which really makes it look more like a ride at a theme park than a mode of transportation. But once you get up to the top, you have a stunning landscape and will be surrounded by mountains, greenery, and the clouds.

Quebec City, Canada

The Old Quebec Funicular was first built in the 19th century, and even though it’s been modernized, it’s still a fun way to experience the history and great views of the city and landscape.
