Travel Resolutions for 2016

2016 Beginning
Happy 2016!
As we say good bye to one year and usher in a new beginning, many people think about New Year's resolutions and set goals for what they want to accomplish. Travelling is always on my list but I don't get to travel as much as I would like but that certainly doesn't stop my from dreaming! As I am sure that travelling more is on most people's New Year's resolutions list too! With that in mind, here are some New Year's resolutions for you, my friend, to keep travels on your New Year's resolutions list.
1. Use up your vacation days. You have vacation days for a reason so use them! Don't wait until the end of the year and have unused vacation days that you either "must" use up, or lose them. Plan ahead and maximize your vacation days with an actual vacation! 

2. Be open to adventure and be spontaneous about travel. This doesn't mean you have to do something extraordinary and life-changing....but keep your options open and you will never know what travel opportunities may arise! If you are flexible and can travel, sometimes the last minute planned trips are the best! (Some of my most favourite travel adventures have been the one with the least amount of planning involved!) 

3. Try someplace new. As the Dalai Lama has said "Once a year, go someplace you've never been before".

So, pick a destination - a place you would like to visit and check off your travel bucket list. Then, choose the best time for you to travel. 
4. Start a travel fund savings plan so that you can have a plan to help with travel costs when it comes time to book. You can either set up a separate bank account to put money towards it regularly, or implement strategies to contribute to the travel fund. 

Choose something to sacrifice. Give up your daily Starbucks or Jugo Juice and use that money towards the travel fund. By making a choice to sacrifice something, the eventual vacation goal will be even more worthwhile. 

5. Once you've decided your destination and dates, put the deposit down! Usually the deposit is a small amount to secure your reservation so that your dates and prices are secured. Putting money towards your trip makes it easier to commit to the trip! It's just a deposit and changes can usually be made to the reservation if you change your plans. But the deposit puts money down to confirm your trip and make it easier for you to see the goal!  

6. Tell people! Telling someone the trip is confirmed will commit you to the trip and makes you accountable. And, if anyone wants to join you, the more the merrier! Travelling with family and friends will be even more fun! 

Vacations can be a huge investment. But they are an investment in you, your family and your relationships to create unforgettable memories and deepen your family bond. I can't think of anything more important than my family and my relationships to spend my money on. 

My resolutions certainly include travelling more. And with that, smarter packing tips, packing less, packing lighter and not buying so much stuff!! Souvenirs are great but I will aim to buy less, and invest in experiences, and create memories that we will have forever. 

What are your New Year's resolutions and how can I help?
