A few ways to make your trip more memorable

When you go on any kind of long term journey there are a few things that you need to consider before you depart. What are the reasons for your trip, is it for business or for pleasure? What are you hoping to gain from the journey and more pragmatically what method of transport will you take. Let’s consider you are going for pleasure, this allows you more freedom and choice on your methods of transport and the time you want to spend on your trip. This freedom will allow you to undertake your journey in a number of ways which will add to your experiences. Below we will look at some of the more unique ways that you can travel which can add some extra adventure to your plans:

Hitchhike:

This is probably the riskiest of these suggestions. We have all seen horror movies with a bad ending for hitchhikers, but the truth is this can be one of the most rewarding ways to travel. You will gain insights from locals that you would not have learnt. You may take unexpected detours and discover areas that you may not have come across otherwise and you will also save a ton of money on transport. This is the best method for those with complete freedom in regard to time and plans.

Book a last-minute trip:

When it comes to double edged swords this can be one of the easiest or most difficult journey decisions you can make. Last minute plans can save you a lot of money and bring you to some of the most exotic locations on the planet that you may not have been able to afford otherwise. The best option to minimise your risk is to book a last minute cruise deal with a trusted source and discover a huge range of offers that these companies have. Flights are trickier as you will also have to arrange accommodation, activities and transport etc, although sometimes this can suit certain travellers who enjoy the risk factor involved with last minute flights.

Say yes:

There are many times when we are travelling that we take too long to consider an offer given to us by new friends. They may ask you to join them on a tour or to visit a local café. Many times, we will consider all the variables before giving an answer and then the opportunity might be gone. The simple solution to this is to just say yes and then go on your trip and see how it goes. Often it will turn out to be much more fun than sitting there thinking about it.

Although these suggestions might be a little outside your comfort zone or financial plans, they are sure to make your trip more fulfilling. If it is your whole trip or just part of it, spontaneity and risk are always a sure way to make the journey more memorable. So, hitch-hike take a cruise or simple say yes.
