Rediscovering The Pleasure of Travelling

How often do you travel?
It’s the kind of question that you’re most likely to see appearing on an air miles questionnaire, which means that most people don’t question their travel habits. As a result, it’s not uncommon to fall into a routine that can take off the joy and excitement of travelling. You end up going to the same places, year after year, simply because it is convenient.

Ultimately, it’s fair to say that there is no right or wrong way to travel. However, if you find yourself feeling a little bored at the idea of driving or flying away, it’s time to challenge yourself to something new. Here are some ideas to make new travel plans in 2020.

Finding Your Home Away From Home

Do you have a favourite place in the world you find yourself coming back to year after year? But somehow the tourist population at the hotel makes your trip a little less special. Have you considered buying a holiday home? It can be a smart investment, as you can rent it out when you’re not using it. Typically, in popular destinations such as an exotic island on the other side of the planet, holiday homes can even pay for themselves. You may want to have a look at the best Mauritius property for sale beachfront or a modern sunny Malta villa with an integrated pool. Destinations that attract tourists are a brilliant side hustle for holiday rentals, which means that you can make the most of your second home away from home, even when you’re not there.

Change Your Lifestyle For A Bit

Admittedly, our time as free travellers in the EU might be coming to an end with Brexit – although, there’s no way to know what deal we’ll get –,, but you can make the most of the transition period to explain the neighbouring countries. You’d be surprised by how easy it is to become a temporary resident in Spain, Italy, or even Portugal – if you love warm summers. If you prefer winter sports, Sweden is a member of the EU, and you’ll find plenty of long-term rentals for you to discover the beauty of the local culture. It’s a brand new way of travelling, but when work isn’t a worry anymore, nothing is stopping you from spending a few months under a new sky.

Join A Group If You Are Worried About Solo Travel

A lot of seniors tend to get worried when they can’t travel with their partners anymore. The truth is that if you’ve never travelled alone before, now’s the best time to give it a go. You can get in touch with professionally operated tours so that you can join a group. Group trips are a great compromise for people who want to explore new countries but are worried about safety or accommodation arrangements. You still get some time on your own, but you can follow the group for organised visits and trips. It’s a favourite to make new friends too!

Get A Group Of Your Favourite Friends Together

Your trip doesn’t always have to last for a week or 10 days, you will benefit just as much from spending a weekend exploring and having a new adventure with close friends or family somewhere like Ireland where you could also enjoy some excellent food by booking a private group dining room for you, and your friends through Square Meal IE

Square Meal IE is a one-stop website where visitors can find the best restaurants in Ireland, along with the opportunity to book online – anything from a Gastropub to an award-winning fine dining restaurant.  Each venue listing shows the number of people it can accommodate, the type of cuisine it offers, as well as the price range you can expect to pay.

Travelling is a journey that takes your senses to the discovery of new tastes, sounds, and cultures. When the journey stops being enjoyable, you need to think of how you can change your travel habits. From finding a place you can call home to moving in for a few months in a new country, there are plenty of exciting opportunities for you to enhance your travels!
