Cubicle Nation fight: Why you have more time to travel than you think
And the time is always something that people tell me they do not have enough of and is one of the main reasons why they are not traveling so much as they want. (The money is also an issue, but I'll cover in depth in the coming weeks.)
Well, I'm not saying that people can travel with 9-to-5 jobs as I or even want. My journey lifestyle suits my needs. It is not for everyone. I have found happiness, a way to make a living while being my own boss and travel whenever and as often as I like. (The same holds true for all Internet-based professional. You do not need to be a blogger, be your own location independent person!) People with office jobs have to be at work from Monday to Friday. I do not know, and that means I can travel a lot more than others are able.
But even if they do not want to be nomadic, most people I want to know with office jobs, to travel more than they make. They just think they do not have the time to do this.
you are wrong.
Suppose you work 50 weeks a year and receive two weeks of vacation. (Non-American, then you will probably get a lot more and you should consider yourself lucky.) Count traveling your holiday time and every weekend brings the total number of days per year, on 110 (104 Weekend days and the 10 days in your two -week vacation). That's a lot of time to travel. Throw in three-day weekends and holidays, and we can do even more days add to our total. It can not be all continuously, but you can with so much time to do much
is about Let think for a second. 110+ days free time per year. That's near four months of potential driving time per year! Four months! The world is your oyster with so much time.
If it looking this way, our calendar will be much more open. What do you do with that time? When you say you do not have the time to travel, maybe it's because you have a priority, not to make it. It's like when I say I do not have the time to go to the gym. I have a lot of time to go the gym; I only spend elsewhere.
This is not really their fault. - I also used to think so. It's just how the travel industry tells us that we must travel. We internalize this idea and never consider other options. The marketing machine in the industry tells us that the journey is a long journey where we spend a lot of money. And if you hear something enough, you believe it. Before I. It's why Jessica is never to Ireland and Bob will always be a hater.
Like many others, they do not think about all the little ways you can saturate the travel if the time is not on your side. But there are many:
to location - Spend a weekend somewhere. Two days is not much time, but it's still enough to explore a city, town, or camp in a national park near you. I spend much time in New York City. Atlantic City, Fire Iceland, the Hamptons, the Berkshires, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington DC include From there weekends away can - and these are just the ones within a few hours drive! Try to incorporate more weekend breaks. Even a few days are somewhere better than no days anywhere
anywhere near Go -. have just one week? Do not travel to waste halfway around the world, tons of time getting to your destination. Go somewhere far away. In Miami and Fiji too far? Head to Central America! In Sydney and America too far? Go halfway and stop in Hawaii, visiting New Zealand or Pacific island nation! In Europe? Well, hell, 0% of the continent is a three-hour flight away! Stay close and you will need less time to do what you want. Moreover, the best flight deals can often be found for targets near you
a local tourist -. I do not think people are tourists in their own city often enough. How often do you visit the museums, explore new areas in your town, or visit the main attractions of the city? I know that New Yorkers who have never been at the Met, Boston, the Freedom Trail are never gone, and Amsterdam that never wandered through the red light district. Take the weekend, move out of the house and stay in a cheap place, and be a tourist. I love being a tourist to play in my own city, because it helps you to learn and understand where you come from
. Important: If you do this, leave your home and stay somewhere else. Otherwise it will be too tempting to arouse some errands to run, and this really works, you need to break your routine "time is up .." - And do not stay in your home is important to do that
your time maximize - do not try to see everything under the sun. They are running around too much. I have many emails from people who field who want to see half of Europe in two weeks or to conquer all of South America in a month. If you think that's how you have to travel and try to cram everything in, it's just by being burdened your itinerary. They look at all of these locations, overwhelmed, realize that there is not enough time to give up, and keep it until you "have" have the time. I get that you do not have much vacation and want much to see, but not! Sticking to only one or two places suddenly opens a lot of time and opportunity up! You will never be able to see them all. Even with my open schedule, I can not see everything I want. I heard tried long ago. In travel, less is more.
You can not months to travel, but that does not mean that you can not travel. There are a variety of ways to get the world and see, without I be a nomad must. Even you say do not have time, is just an excuse. You have the time; the problem is that you probably do not think about how to spend the time beyond the typical "two-week vacation."
So the next time you think, "I do not have the time," you think of all the places near you could explore. Yes, you need to run errands and things that require your attention. But by using your time productively, prioritization travel, and think outside the box, they will find you, do have time to explore the world. Travel is on exploration, and exploration that can be done for a long time everywhere.
