You took one look at that gorgeous pool villa พัทยา, and the desire to pack your bag and hit the road went into overdrive. Then you remembered that you just returned from a week-long excursion two weeks ago. You used a good chunk of your work leave already, and your funds are still low. Do you hold off on going on another adventure until next month, three months, or next year? What if there’s a way that you don’t have to wait too long?
Why are frequent travels good for you?
Let's put aside for one moment any blockage to your plans–work, money, or responsibilities– and just say you can afford to travel regularly. Doing so comes with many benefits.
- You'll have more time to relax, take a break from work, and gain that renewed energy you need to face reality at the end of your trip.
- Give your mental health a boost with a change of scenery and quality time for yourself.
- Take time to de-stress and improve your physical health in the process.
- Strengthen bonds with friends and family by spending time together.
- Expand your social and cultural awareness.
Travel Strategies You Should Learn
Don't Limit Yourself
You may be spacing your trips far apart due to constraints, such as time and budget. There are workarounds that you can do.
- Plan a mix of long and short trips. If you just went on an international trip to Bangkok, for example, you can spend a weekend in a different state a few weeks or a month later.
- If your last flight took 16 hours or longer, plan a staycation and enjoy it like you would a full-on vacation.
- Don't be stuck on fancy or budget-friendly. Enjoy a mix of both. This way, you can still go on holiday even with a limited budget.
Embrace a Minimalist Lifestyle
While not for everyone, minimalism might just be the answer to increasing your holiday frequency.
- Think about it, living a simple life and cutting out the excess will help you save towards your travel fund.
- You can make more meaningful decisions, ensuring all your choices will truly make you happy.
- Minimalism will extend to how you plan your trip. You go for options that will give you the best travel experience.
Use Effective Travel Hacks
Do you want to build up miles and points without trying too hard? There are strategies you can employ.
- Sign up for loyalty programs, be it with airlines or hotels, to earn rewards or cashback.
- Be strategic when booking your flights and choosing a seat.
- Get discounts where possible. There are always deals and discounts for hotels, flights and holiday packages. You just need to look for them.
Be Flexible
Your ability to adjust and adapt to the current situation can go a long way towards ensuring the best journey.
- Be flexible with your travel dates, especially if this means getting affordable rates.
- If the resort you planned to book is fully booked, stay in other accommodation options.
- Be ready to switch to riding a bus or train if flying isn't an option.
By not limiting yourself, embracing a minimalist lifestyle, following effective travel hacks, and being flexible, you can travel as often as you want, even when it seems impossible. If Pattaya is your next target destination, enjoy a luxurious stay at the InterContinental Pattaya Resort.
