Expand Your Horizons With These Travel Resolutions For The New Year

What is your new year’s resolution?

If you enjoy exploring the world as much as we do, the chances are that one of your resolutions for 2017 involves travel. Are you looking to expand your horizons and see what this amazing world has to offer? Then it is time to make some resolutions.

If you want to start easy, then vow to take a much-needed vacation. If you are a more advanced traveler, then you have to dig deeper with some more specific goals. That’s where we come in. Try some of our suggestions with these travel resolutions for the new year.

1. Resolve To Go Somewhere New In 2017:

When the new year comes around, make it a point to go on a trip to a place that you’ve never visited before. Over the years, you may have become partial to some of your favorite travel destinations but try to switch it up this year. If you have only traveled within the United States, try going abroad. If you have only gone on adventures in the country, try visiting the biggest city you can find. Trying new things and new places are the only way to expand your horizons.

2. Resolve To Not Let Technology Get In The Way:

Regardless of our age, we always tend to let technology (smartphones, tablets, laptops) get in the way of our vacation enjoyment. This year, let’s try to spend less time texting and tweeting and devote more time to meeting new people and taking in the scenery. To really experience the fullness of your surroundings, leave your smartphone at home and go the whole trip without it.

3. Resolve To Give Solo Travel A Try:

If you want to visit a new country but you have no one to bring with you, don’t let that stop you. It may sound scary, but solo travel can be a great way to experience a new place like you never thought possible. These trips may also help you to learn a little about yourself.

4. Resolve To Meet New People During Your Travels:

There are two types of travelers in the world: those who go out to new places and talk to everyone they can find and those who choose to keep to themselves during their vacations. If you are one of the latter, make it one of your travel resolutions for the new year to expand your horizons and try to meet new people during your next trip.

You never know what how much you might enjoy someone else’s company unless you take the time to get to know them, plus, you never know what new adventures they may have up their sleeve.

5. Resolve To Get To Know Your Own State:

While it can be fun to travel abroad, you can learn just as much when you stay in your own state. The chances are that you have not seen every square inch of your home state and all the wonders that it may hold, so start exploring it! Every state from California to Idaho is full of endless miles of appealing cities and interesting people. Plus, you can save a few bucks on your travel costs by staying in-state.

6. Resolve To Take A Road Trip To Destination Nowhere:

Do you want to take the ultimate adventure? Then grab a friend, hop in the car and just start driving. You heard that right. Forget the planning and just drive. You never know what adventures you will find yourself in and what new and exciting people you might meet.

7. Resolve To Save Money On Travel By Purchasing Miles With The Mileage Club:

While you are making smart decisions, extend this mindset to your travel costs by purchasing miles with The Mileage Club.
