We know that you all love travel like us. It’s hard to stay at home, but the responsible thing for us to do is of course refrain from traveling until it’s safe again. In the meantime, here are a few of our tips for keeping the travel inspiration burning until we can travel again. Here are 7 Ways to Stay Travel Inspired.
7 Ways to Stay Travel Inspired
1) Reminisce Through Pictures & Videos of Old Trips
- What’s one of the best ways to keep that travel inspiration burning inside? We always recommend going back through all of your old trips to stir up some great feelings. We’ve been going through all of our old pictures, videos and notes from all of our travels. It’s keeping us in the travel mindset!
2) Frame Your Favorite Pictures
- There is still nothing like getting nice quality pictures printed out from your travels. We’ve been ordering larger frames and printing out some excellent pictures from our travels.
3) Listen to Some Inspirational Travel Podcasts
- Put on your headphones and listen to some great travel podcasts out there. We are listening to quite a few right now, but some of our recent favorites are Amateru Travelers, Zero to Travel Podcast and The Big Traveler. There are so many others out there as well that will surely keep you inspired.
4) Put Together Your “Future” Travel List (for when it’s safe to travel of course)
- We realize that there are other more pressing issues right now than traveling, but it’s still always good to dream about future trips (when things are safe and the right time to travel). We still recommmend putting together your travel list and taking time to do some research into areas that you want to travel. It’s the perfect time right now to keep that travel passion alive.
5) Follow Travel Influencers, Groups and Brands on Social Media (Facebook, Instagram, Snap Chat, Tik Tok, etc).
- There are so many great travel influencers and brands out there with great travel content. It’s easy to follow them across social media as they post their pictures, videos, blog posts, etc. We follow certain hashtags across most of the social platforms, so we’re seeing the content that aligns with our interests. Also, on platforms such as Facebook we recommend joining certain travel groups to have discussions and stay inspired for a destination (or type of travel)
6) Read a Travel Inspired Book Or Watch a Movie
- It’s still easy to pick up a good book (or download one – we love the free Libby app if you have a library card) or watch a good movie to keep you inspired. There are so many options here of course, but this should help with your travel inspiration.
7) Start to Plan a Future Trip and Dream Again
- Get excited again about traveling by planning a future trip. We realize that things are a little uneasy right now, so of course travel when you do feel comfortable. The good new is that there are excellent safety precautions being put in place by the airlines, resorts and the entire travel industry to make sure that you are safe as possible. Also, there are very lenient cancellation and refund terms, plus we always recommend Cancel for Any Reason travel insurance to help keep you protected.
We hope this list is helpful for you. Do you have any other tips to share? If so, we’d love to see them in the comments section. Stay safe everyone!
