Hey everyone
Wish you a very very happy 2017!!!! A new year calls for changes and new priorities. My top 3 priorities for this year are travelling, getting more organized and having a better morning routine.
Lets talk about the first one today!
what i wore- jeans- lightinthebox, shoes- converse
I love to travel , read this post, everytime i travel i come home a changed person a better person so i highly recommend to see the world, the diff cultures and the landscape with your own eyes. This year i have decided to visit a new place could be a country or a city or a village or anything every month. I will also try to do a monthly review and write a blogpost on the new places i visit each month so to stay motivated and accountable!!!!!! Also look forward to creating more travel guides on the blog!!!!!
Most of us want to travel but don’t actually do it because of n reasons so here are my top 5 tried and tested real tips to help you make traveling a reality
Cut down on shopping- Traveling needs money no matter how cheap so i choose it as the first. We use a lot of our free money in shopping and by cutting down shopping you can have the cash for travel. I mean think about it how many pair of shoes do we really need!!! how many times do we really wear them!!!! and how long they last!!!! Traveling will give you memories that last a lifetime.
U can travel solo- its good to have a travel partner but so many times we can’t find one to go with to the place we really want to go, maybe your life partner is busy with work, friends and family are unavailable or if they are they don’t want to go to place you want so just cut it out, go solo and once you start to travel solo you will travel more often because you will just go whenever you have time.
Prioritize- we often make excuses so and so is not going right or we have n commitments which may be true but if you can prioritize travel as a must or the top things to do it’ll be a reality more often.
Follow travel accounts/ bloggers on social media- after all they are humans and most often do not have a fancy travel budget to begin with so seeing them go to these places will keep you inspired in your own journey. Ill try to do a post listing some great accounts i follow for inspiration.
Ask for help- if you are caught up with work or responsibilities ask your friends or relatives to fill in for you and you can do it for them in return.
The two pictures are from my trip to Madagascar for new years, and that is also the reason for my break from the blog, i dint intend to take a break but there was hardly any internet in madagascar!!! sorry for not informing in advance! can't wait to share more about the trip!!!
Hope this post was helpful! See you in my next one
Love
Chichi
Awesome tips! I agree that saving up money is a priority! We can't shop a ton and assume there will be enough left for traveling. Gotta save some money to spend on stuff when traveling too! I don't know if I would be able to travel solo because that seems scary being in a different place alone. But I do agree that it is a good idea to consider.

I definitely agree about cutting down the shopping! I've been doing the exact same thing to save for two trips this year. It's hard to look at the big picture, but often $40 here and there add up.

You were right, we did write almost the same exact post! What I love though is that we both have different tips. Yours are really really great too. Maybe we can collab sometime??
ReplyDeleteI have come to terms with traveling solo myself this year. And in March I will be traveling solo to my first non-english speaking country. Eeeek! A bit nervous, but don't want to sit around and wait for people. The shopping one is huge too! I've completely cut it out so far this year. :)
