Travel resolutions to make for 2020

Another new year is nigh, and we are wondering how to better ourselves next year. While we are at it, we can definitely make some travel resolutions as well. These travel resolutions for 2020 can run parallel to your New Year’s resolutions. While we don’t expect all of them to pan out as expected, we can at least give it a try and see.

Sustainable travel
From the South Pole to the mighty Himalayas, the world is in crisis, thanks to global warming. As travellers, it is high time we understand how to travel responsibly, and how to take care of the environment. One of the most important things is to not leave any waste behind at the campsites. These are usually places that are eco-sensitive and waste, such as plastic, can completely damage them. Also, try not using plastic or carrying plastic when travelling out. This way you can do your bit in a small way. Moreover, in forest areas do not smoke, or light a fire irresponsibly, as forest fires can completely destroy and disturb the ecological balance.
Travel slow

Don’t just rush through the top sites just to get your Instagram pictures. Travelling is all about going slow and experiencing a place to its fullest, and the moment we rush through things, we miss out on the intricate details. To travel slow means to experience everything that a place has to offer. If you are travelling to a famous site, just take a moment away from your camera, and really see the place with your eyes, and experience what the moment makes you feel. It is a great feeling, and the only true way to travel.

Use your long weekends
Plan your travel beforehand, make your long weekends count. Often times, we just let the weekends pass and then look back in regret. This can change if you do some homework before the weekend arrives, and actually plan it well. See how long the weekend is for, find out if you can take an extra day off from work/university, and then decide on a place that suits your budget, and is not too far away. You can pull it off with ease.

Keep fit and travel

Travelling does not mean you have to let go of your body and torture it to the core. There are so many ways to keep fit even while travelling. Just take a hike, or walk around town, as that is a great way to keep fit. Moreover, these days most hotels have gyms, so just hit it for 30 minutes in the morning, and you can go about your day without feeling guilty. More importantly, you can eat whatever you want, and still stay fit.

Go to a new place

Yes, we all have our favourite places, and some of us like to go there every year. But this time, pick a place where you have never been before, even better, pick a state where you have never been before. This way you can experience a completely new thing, and feel enriched. This year, you could even plan to go to a brand new country, start small, start with your neighbouring countries.
