Falling in love vs Being in Love: What You Gain from Traveling to the Same Place More than Once
There are an almost unlimited number of amazing places to see and explore. Your list of spots to go grows daily. But unfortunately your travel resources don’t. You have limited time, money and energy for traveling. So why bother traveling to the same place more than once?
When Travel Won’t Cooperate
It’s here. After your weeks, months or years of planning and saving it’s time to travel. Your ticket’s booked. Your bag is packed. You’re ready to reward all your hard work with the trip of a life time. Problem is Travel has a mind of its own. And while Travel is often beautiful and accommodating, sometimes it just won’t cooperate.
Go Travel: Cape Town Wine Farms
Who likes wine? Who likes stunning scenery, friendly service and deep fried olives (really)? Alright then, here’s a tip. Go visit Vrede en Lust wine farm in Franschhoek, South Africa.
Overcome Your Fear of the Unknown
Traveling is wonderful. It’s fun. It’s exciting. It breaks your routine and may even help you grow as a person. But it’s also scary. The unknown is equal parts electrifying and intimidating. And traveling requires a whole slew of unknowns; unknown places, unknown people, unknown languages, foods, accommodation and transportation. The good news is that fear of the unknown can be overcome. You can come to love travel just by recognizing your own fear and facing it. You can transform your waah waah wanting into real, live doing.
Wanting vs. Doing: Make Traveling a Reality
Wanting and doing are two different things. Lots of people want to travel. Fewer do. It’s not because traveling is unattainable, it’s because the doing involved scares many of us away. Every travel blog I’ve seen has valid reasons to travel. Every travel blog has the list of common excuses people use to not travel. And every travel blog gives the obligatory disclaimer that I’ll give now: It’s ok to not travel. Traveling is expensive, time consuming and involves varying degrees of discomfort. If it’s not your thing, it’s not your thing. But if it is your thing – something you’ve wanted to do – then do it.
The Truly Weird of Traveling
Huh?
Put aside the PC for a moment, some things are just weird. And in travelling you’re bound to meet your fill of them. Try and chalk it up to cultural differences all you want but somewhere deep inside of you, just to the left of the part that tells you which fork to use for dessert, you know you’re witnessing strange in all its strangeness.
Dare to Fail
This is Kiteboarding from Scribblevision on Vimeo.
This weekend I will kiteboard. I’ve been putsying around on the beach learning how to fly the humongous kite. Now it’s time to strap on a board and hit the water. I am the most uncoordinated person I know. But sometimes you have to dare to fail. In traveling. At work. In life. So here goes nothing…
Why Bother Traveling to Small Towns?
This gallery contains 10 photos.
Global travelers tend to go to the extremes when they encounter small towns. They over glorify them for their humble quaintness or resent their slowness. Either way, travelers move through small towns quickly. We see small towns as convenient stopovers on the way to the main attractions; the half way mark between bright city lights […]
Your Monday Moment of Awe: Balcony Sightings
Mondays are downers. After the high of the weekend it’s easy to slump into a coffee cup depression as you hit your desk to start off a new week. But it doesn’t have to be like that. All around you are incredible sights, incredible experiences and incredible places to travel. All around you are moments of awe.
Go Travel to the City
When You’re Wrong, You’re Wrong
Time for me to eat my own words. After espousing the grandeur of the middle of nowhere and bashing the foolishness of spending Valentine’s Day at a fancy pants restaurant in the city, I went on to spend Valentine’s Day at a fancy pants restaurant in the city.
